## Detailed Description

The SoSFEnum class is a container for an enum value.

This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers needs to store one particular value out of an enumerated set.

A field of this type stores its value to file as the symbolic name, rather than the actual integer value.

SoSFEnum instances are initialized on an instance basis, usually in the constructor of the field container with the macros SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(enumtype, symbolvalue) and SO_NODE_SET_SF_ENUM_TYPE(enumfield, enumtype) for nodes, or for engines; SO_ENGINE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE() and SO_ENGINE_SET_SF_ENUM_TYPE().

Example initialization from the constructor of the SoCone class:

SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(Part, SIDES);
SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(Part, BOTTOM);
SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(Part, ALL);
SO_NODE_SET_SF_ENUM_TYPE(parts, Part);
SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE
#define SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(enumname, enumvalue)

## Member Function Documentation

## createInstance()

void * SoSFEnum::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.
Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object.

## getClassTypeId()

SoType SoSFEnum::getClassTypeId | ( | void |  | ) |

static

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

## getTypeId()

SoType SoSFEnum::getTypeId | ( | void |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoField. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoSFBitMask.

## copyFrom()

void SoSFEnum::copyFrom | ( | const SoField & | f | ) |

virtual

Copy value(s) from f into this field. f must be of the same type as this field.

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoSFBitMask.

## isSame()

SbBool SoSFEnum::isSame | ( | const SoField & | f | ) | const

virtual

Check for equal type and value(s).

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoSFBitMask.

## initClass()

void SoSFEnum::initClass | ( | void |  | ) |

static

Internal method called upon initialization of the library (from SoDB::init()) to set up the type system.

## setValue()

void SoSFEnum::setValue | ( | const SbName | name | ) |

Set the value of this field by specifying an enumeration string value.

## setEnums()

void SoSFEnum::setEnums | ( | const int | num,
|  | const int * | vals,
|  | const SbName * | names )

Makes a set of num enumeration names map to integer values, given by vals.

## getNumEnums()

int SoSFEnum::getNumEnums | ( | void |  | ) | const

Returns the number of enum names the SoSFEnum object understands.

Note that this API method is not part of the original SGI Inventor 2.1 API, and is an extension specific to Coin.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
  Coin 2.0

## getEnum()

int SoSFEnum::getEnum | ( | const int | idx,
|  | SbName & | name ) const

Returns the value of the Nth enum this SoSFEnum object understands, and mutates name to contain the Nth enum's name.

Note that this API method is not part of the original SGI Inventor 2.1 API, and is an extension specific to Coin.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
  Coin 2.0

## findEnumValue()

SbBool SoSFEnum::findEnumValue | ( | const SbName & | name,
|  | int & | val )

protected virtual

Return in val the enumeration value which matches the given enumeration name.

Returns `TRUE` if name is a valid enumeration string, otherwise `FALSE`.

## findEnumName()

SbBool SoSFEnum::findEnumName | ( | int | valuearg,
|  | const SbName *& | name ) const

protected virtual

Set the enumeration name which matches the given enumeration value.

Returns `TRUE` if value is a valid enumeration value, otherwise `FALSE`.

## Member Data Documentation

## numEnums

int SoSFEnum::numEnums

protected

Number of enumeration mappings.

## enumValues

int* SoSFEnum::enumValues

protected

Array of enumeration values. Maps 1-to-1 with the enumNames.

## enumNames

SbName* SoSFEnum::enumNames

protected

Array of enumeration names. Maps 1-to-1 with the enumValues.

## legalValuesSet

SbBool SoSFEnum::legalValuesSet

protected

Is `TRUE` if a set of enum name-to-value mappings has been set.
