.RI "\fIThe \fBSoCache\fP class is the superclass for all internal cache classes\&.
.PP
It organizes reference counting to make it possible to share cache instances\&. It also organizes a list of elements that will affect the cache\&. If any of the elements have changed since the cache was created, the cache is invalid\&. \fP"

.PP
\fBSoConvexDataCache\fP is used to speed up rendering of concave polygons by tessellating all polygons into triangles and storing the newly generated primitives in an internal cache\&. \fP"
