Member Function Documentation

SoType SoCacheElement::getClassTypeId (void) [static]

This static method returns the class type.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

int SoCacheElement::getClassStackIndex (void) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

void * SoCacheElement::createInstance (void) [static]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

void SoCacheElement::initClass (void) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

void SoCacheElement::init (SoState *state) [virtual]

This function initializes the element type in the given SoState. It is called for the first element of each enabled element type in SoState objects.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

void SoCacheElement::push (SoState *state) [virtual]

This method is called every time a new element is required in one of the stacks. This happens when a writable element is requested, using SoState::getElement() or indirectly SoElement::getElement(), and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth.

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. The push() method is called on the new element, and the previous element can be found using SoElement::getNextInStack().

Reimplemented from SoElement.

void SoCacheElement::pop (SoState *state, const SoElement *prevTopElement) [virtual]

This method is callled when the state is popped, and the depth of the element is bigger than the current state depth. pop() is called on the new top of stack, and a pointer to the previous top of stack is passed in prevTopElement.

Override this method if you need to copy some state information from the previous top of stack.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

void SoCacheElement::set (SoState *conststate, SoCache *constcache) [static]

Sets the current cache. The cache is ref'ed before returning.

SoCache * SoCacheElement::getCache (void) const

This method returns the cache, or NULL if there is no cache.

SbBool SoCacheElement::anyOpen (SoState *conststate) [static]

This method returns TRUE if a cache is currently open.

void SoCacheElement::invalidate (SoState *conststate) [static]

This method invalidates open caches. It should be called by uncacheable nodes.

SbBool SoCacheElement::matches (const SoElement *element) const [virtual]

SoCacheElement objects should not be compared because you obviously don't cache them in the cache.

Implements SoElement.

SoElement * SoCacheElement::copyMatchInfo (void) const [virtual]

SoCacheElement objects should not be 'copied' because you obviously don't cache them in the cache.

See also:

SbBool SoCacheElement::matches(const SoElement * element) const

Implements SoElement.

SoCacheElement * SoCacheElement::getNextCacheElement (void) const

This method returns the next cache element. That is the next cache element pointing towards the bottom of the state.

void SoCacheElement::addElement (SoState *conststate, const SoElement *constelement) [static]

This method adds element to the elements used lists of all the open caches in state.

void SoCacheElement::addCacheDependency (SoState *conststate, SoCache *constcache) [static]

This method creates dependencies on cache for all the open caches in state.

SbBool SoCacheElement::setInvalid (const SbBoolnewvalue) [static]

This method returns the old invalidated bit value, and sets it to newvalue.

SoCache * SoCacheElement::getCurrentCache (SoState *conststate) [static]

This method returns the current cache. No cache dependencies are honored.
