Detailed Description

Node that defines a tessellation control shader.

This node defines a tessellation control shader.
See SoShaderProgram for general information about using shaders and shader parameters.

See parent class SoShaderObject for details about using the inherited fields.

Notes:

• Shader object nodes cannot be inserted directly in a scene graph.
  They must be added to the shaderObject field of an SoShaderProgram node.

Limitations:

• Tessellation shaders are currently only supported by SoBufferedShape, SoPointSet and SoIndexedPointSet.
• Transparency and fast editing are compatible with shader modified geometry, but most actions use the vertices of the basic shape (the vertices stored in the scene graph). This includes, for example, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoGetPrimitiveCountAction and SoRayPickAction.
