NAME
SbTypeInfo -
SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description
template<typename T> class SbTypeInfo< T >
a type information library for Coin types and their relations.
Inventor/SbTypeInfo.h SbTypeInfo<> makes it possible to write generic
code using Coin types that is able to adjust itself to the parameter
types used. Usually you would be able to do that quite easily if the
Sb-classes had been template classes of Type and Dimension arguments.
This type library makes it possible to work around that lack of
genericity by looking up type relationships instead.
Certain inside types of SbTypeInfo<> are always defined. Others will
only be defined if the template argument type is of certain
characteristics.
Type is the type the SbTypeInfo<>-specialization is for. It is always
defined.
ParamType is a type deemed to be efficient for function parameter
transfer. It is always defined.
If the type is a primitive type that has a corresponding class that is
a two-dimensional vector of that type, then the Vec2Type type will be
defined. If there is a three-dimensional vector of that type, then
Vec3Type will be defined, and similarly for Vec4Type.
If the type is a primitive type that has a corresponding class that is
a two-dimensional box class of that type, then the Box2Type type will
be defined, and similarly for Box3Type.
