## Detailed Description

The SoImage class draws a 2D image on the viewport.

An image can be specified either by using the image field, or by specifying a filename. If width and/or height is specified, the image will be resized to match those values before it is displayed.

The current modelview matrix will be used to find the viewport position, and the image is rendered in that position, with z-buffer testing activated.

Here's a simple, standalone example on how to set up and show an SoImage:

Note that an SoImage node in the scene graph will have its positioning / rendering influenced by the current viewport and camera. This has important implications for how to layout your scene graph for the best possible rendering performance. See the note about this issue in the SoText2 class documentation.

SoScale nodes cannot be used to influence the dimensions of the rendering output of SoImage nodes.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## SoImage()

SoImage::SoImage | ( | void |  | ) |

Constructor.

## ~SoImage()

SoImage::~SoImage | ( |  | ) |

protected virtual

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## getClassTypeId()

SoType SoImage::getClassTypeId | ( | void |  | ) |

static

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

## getTypeId()

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

virtual

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

Reimplemented from SoShape.

## getFieldDataPtr()

const SoFieldData ** SoImage::getFieldDataPtr | ( | void |  | ) |

static protected

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

## getFieldData()

const SoFieldData * SoImage::getFieldData | ( | void |  | ) | const

protected virtual

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns `NULL`.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

## initClass()

void SoImage::initClass | ( | void |  | ) |

static

## GLRender()

void SoImage::GLRender | ( | SoGLRenderAction * | action | ) |

virtual

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

## rayPick()

void SoImage::rayPick | ( | SoRayPickAction * | action | ) |

virtual

Calculates picked point based on primitives generated by subclasses.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

## getPrimitiveCount()

void SoImage::getPrimitiveCount | ( | SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * | action | ) |

virtual

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

## generatePrimitives()

void SoImage::generatePrimitives | ( | SoAction * | action | ) |

protected virtual

Will generate a textured quad, representing the image in 3D.

Implements SoShape.

## computeBBox()

void SoImage::computeBBox | ( | SoAction * | action,
|  | SbBox3f & | box,
|  | SbVec3f & | center )

protected virtual

Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local coordinate system.

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon function entry.

Implements SoShape.

## readInstance()

SbBool SoImage::readInstance | ( | SoInput * | in,
|  | unsigned short | flags )

protected virtual

This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import operations.

It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream in. The input stream state points to the start of a serialized / persistent representation of an instance of this class type.

`TRUE` or `FALSE` is returned, depending on if the instantiation and configuration of the new object of this class type went OK or not. The import process should be robust and handle corrupted input streams by returning `FALSE`.

flags is used internally during binary import when reading user extension nodes, group nodes or engines.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

## notify()

void SoImage::notify | ( | SoNotList * | l | ) |

protected virtual

Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

## getReadStatus()

int SoImage::getReadStatus | ( | void |  | ) |

protected

Returns TRUE if node was read OK.

## setReadStatus()

void SoImage::setReadStatus | ( | SbBool | flag | ) |

protected

Set read status for this node.
