SoComplexity — shape complexity node

SoGLRenderAction,SoCallbackAction,SoGetBoundingBoxAction,SoRayPickAction
          Sets the current complexity in the state.

       This  node  sets  the  current shape complexity value. This is a heuristic value which provides a hint at
       what geometric complexity to render shape nodes. Values  range  from  0  to  1,  where  0  means  minimum
       complexity and 1 means maximum complexity. Each shape node interprets complexity in its own way.

       Shape  complexity  always  affects  rendering and primitive generation for the SoCallbackAction. For some
       shapes, it also affects picking.

       There are three ways to interpret shape complexity, depending on the type field. BOUNDING_BOX  complexity
       ignores  the  value  field  and renders all shapes as bounding boxes, using the current material, drawing
       style, etc. The other two types use the  value  field  to  determine  the  tessellation  of  shapes  into
       polygons.  OBJECT_SPACE  complexity  uses  value  directly  to  determine  the tessellation. SCREEN_SPACE
       complexity depends on value and the projected size of the shape on the screen; a value of 0 produces  the
       minimum  tessellation for a shape, and a value of 1 produces a tessellation that is fine enough that each
       edge of a polygon is about 1 or two pixels in length. Since the projected  size  depends  on  the  camera
       position,  objects may be tessellated differently every frame if the camera is moving; note that this may
       have adverse effects on render caching in SoSeparator nodes.

       The SoComplexity node also sets a hint for the quality of textures applied to shapes, based on the  value
       of  the  textureQuality  field.  The texture quality will take effect at the next Texture2 node; Texture2
       nodes previously traversed will not be affected.

     SoSFFloatvalue
          Complexity value.

     SoSFFloattextureQuality
          Hint about texture quality. A value of 0 indicates that the fastest texturing should be used, while  a
          value of 1 indicates that the best quality texturing should be used.
