DESCRIPTION

The SoBlinker class is derived from SoSwitch, so it selects one of its children to traverse. Using engines connected to the realTime global field, the whichChild field is animated over time. If the node has only one child, whichChild toggles between SO_SWITCH_NONE and 0, causing the child to be switched on and off repeatedly. If the node has more than one child, they are cycled through continuously.

FIELDS


SoSFFloat speed
 

Defines the speed of the blinker, in cycles per second.
 


SoSFBool on
 

Allows applications to enable or disable the blinking easily.
 

METHODS


SoBlinker()
 

Creates a blinker node with default settings.
 


static SoType getClassTypeId()
 

Returns type identifier for this class.
 

ACTION BEHAVIOR

SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoGetMatrixAction, SoHandleEventAction, SoRayPickAction, SoSearchAction
 

Same as for SoSwitch.
