SyntaxThe SoMaterialBinding type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SoMaterialBinding | Creates a material binding node with default settings. |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AffectsState | Returns true if a node has an effect on the state during traversal. |
| Callback | (Overrides SoNodeCallback(SoCallbackAction).) |
| Copy | Calls Copy(false). (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Copy(Boolean) | Creates and returns an exact copy of the node. |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer) | Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean) | Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. |
| Dispose |
Releases all resources used by SoDisposable.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| Distribute | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| DoAction | (Overrides SoNodeDoAction(SoAction).) |
| EnableNotify | Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FieldsAreEqual | Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. |
| Get | Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. |
| GetAllFields | Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. |
| GetAlternateRep | This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type). |
| GetBoundingBox | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GetEventIn | Returns a the eventIn with the given name. |
| GetEventOut | Returns the eventOut with the given name. |
| GetField | Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. |
| GetFieldName | Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. |
| GetFields | Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetMatrix | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GetName | Returns the name of an instance. |
| GetPrimitiveCount | (Overrides SoNodeGetPrimitiveCount(SoGetPrimitiveCountAction).) |
| GetRenderEngineMode | Returns the supported Render engine mode. |
| GetRenderUnitID | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GetStringName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GLRender | (Overrides SoNodeGLRender(SoGLRenderAction).) |
| GLRenderBelowPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GLRenderInPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GLRenderOffPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsCleanup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsSetup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| HandleEvent | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| HasDefaultValues | Returns true if all of the object's fields have their default values. |
| IsBoundingBoxIgnoring | This method is used by getBoundingBox action traversal to know if the current node must be traversed or not, ie the bounding should be ignored. |
| IsNotifyEnabled | Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. |
| IsOverride | Returns the state of the override field. |
| IsSynchronizable | Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. |
| Pick | (Overrides SoNodePick(SoPickAction).) |
| RayPick | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Search | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Set | Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. |
| SetName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| SetOverride | Set the state of the override field. |
| SetSynchronizable | Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. |
| SetToDefaults | Sets all fields in this object to their default values. |
| ToString |
Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string.
(Inherited from SoBase.) |
| Touch | Marks an instance as modified, simulating a change to it. |
| Write | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsDisposable | ISafeDisposable interface implementation.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| UserData |
Gets or sets the user data to be contained by the field container.
(Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| value | Specifies how to bind materials to shapes. |
RemarksThis node specifies how the current materials are bound to shapes that follow in the scene graph. Each shape node may interpret bindings differently. The current material always has a base value, which is defined by the first value of all material fields. Since material fields may have multiple values, the binding determines how these values are distributed over a shape.
The bindings for faces and vertices are meaningful only for shapes that are made from faces and vertices. Similarly, the indexed bindings are only used by the shapes that allow indexing.
The bindings apply only to diffuse colors and transparency. Other materials (emissive, specular, ambient, shininess) will have the first value applied to the entire shape, regardless of the material binding or the number provided.
If the number of transparencies is less than the number of diffuse colors, only the first transparency value will be used, regardless of the material binding. If the number of diffuse colors in the state is less than the number required for the given binding, a debug warning will be printed and unpredictable colors will result.
