SoNormalBinding — node that specifies how multiple surface normals are bound to shapes

Action Behavior

SoGLRenderAction,SoCallbackAction,SoRayPickAction
          Sets the current normal binding type.

Description

       This  node  specifies  how  the  current normals are bound to shapes that follow in the scene graph. Each
       shape node may interpret bindings differently.

       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.  For  bindings  that
       require  multiple  normals, be sure to have at least as many normals defined as are necessary; otherwise,
       errors will occur.

Fields

SoSFEnumvalue
          Specifies how to bind normals to shapes.
