SoSFNode — field containing a pointer to a node
Contents
Description
This field maintains a pointer to an SoNode instance, correctly maintaining its reference count.
SoSFNodes are written to file as the node they are pointing to. For example:
mySoSFNodeField Cube {}
is an SoSFNode field named 'mySoSFNodeField', pointing to an SoCube node. If the node is used elsewhere,
the regular DEF/USE instancing mechanism applies:
anotherSoSFNodeField USE topSeparator
is an SoSFNode field that points to a node named 'topSeparator' that was DEF'ed earlier in the scene.
