.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
The \fBSoProto\fP class handles PROTO definitions\&. 

\fBSoProto\fP and \fBSoProtoInstance\fP are mostly internal classes\&. They're designed to read and handle VRML97 PROTOs\&. However, it's possible to define your PROTOs in C++\&. You must define your PROTO in a char array, and read that char array using \fBSoInput::setBuffer()\fP and \fBSoDB::readAllVRML()\fP\&. Example:
.PP
.PP
.nf
char myproto[] =
"#VRML V2\&.0 utf8\\n"
"PROTO ColorCube [\\n"
"  field SFColor color 1 1 1\\n"
"  field SFVec3f size 1 1 1\\n"
"]\\n"
"{\\n"
"  Shape {\\n"
"    appearance Appearance {\\n"
"      material Material {\\n"
"        diffuseColor IS color\\n"
"      }\\n"
"    }\\n"
"    geometry Box { size IS size }\\n"
"  }\\n"
"}\\n"
"ColorCube { color 1 0 0 size 2 1 1 }\\n";

Now you can create new instances of the ColorCube PROTO using \fBSoProto::findProto()\fP and \fBSoProto::createProtoInstance()\fP\&. If you want to insert PROTO instances into your scene graph, you should insert the node returned from \fBSoProtoInstance::getRootNode()\fP\&.

.PP
Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting \fBSoBase\fP\&. This is used for runtime type checking and 'downward' casting\&. Usage example:
.PP
.PP
.nf
void foo(SoNode * node)
{
  if (node\->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
    SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
  }
}

.PP
For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in \fIall\fP subclasses\&. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the predefined macros available through for instance \fBInventor/nodes/SoSubNode\&.h\fP (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), \fBInventor/engines/SoSubEngine\&.h\fP (for engine classes) and so on\&.

Implements \fBSoBase\fP\&.
.SS "\fBSoProto\fP * SoProto::findProto (\fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & name)\fC [static]\fP"
Returns the PROTO definition named \fIname\fP or NULL if not found\&. 
.SS "\fBSoProtoInstance\fP * SoProto::createProtoInstance (\fBvoid\fP)"
Creates an instance of the PROTO\&. 
.SS "\fBvoid\fP SoProto::addISReference (\fBSoNode\fP * container, \fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & fieldname, \fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & interfacename)"
Adds an IS reference for this PROTO definition\&. 
.SS "\fBSbName\fP SoProto::findISReference (\fBconst\fP \fBSoFieldContainer\fP * container, \fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & fieldname)"
If \fIcontainer\fP is a PROTO definition node with an IS interface field named \fIfieldname\fP, return the interface name, otherwise return an empty \fBSbName\fP\&. 
.SS "\fBvoid\fP SoProto::addReference (\fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & name, \fBSoBase\fP * base)"
Adds a reference for this PROTO definition\&. 
.SS "\fBvoid\fP SoProto::removeReference (\fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & name)"
Removes a reference for this PROTO definition\&. 
.SS "\fBSoBase\fP * SoProto::findReference (\fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & name) const"
Finds a reference for this PROTO definition\&. 
.SS "\fBvoid\fP SoProto::addRoute (\fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & fromnode, \fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & fromfield, \fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & tonode, \fBconst\fP \fBSbName\fP & tofield)"
Adds a ROUTE for this PROTO definition\&. 
.SS "\fBSbName\fP SoProto::getProtoName (\fBvoid\fP) const"
Returns the PROTO name\&. 
.SS "SbBool SoProto::readInstance (\fBSoInput\fP * in, \fBunsigned\fP short flags)\fC [virtual]\fP"
This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import operations\&.
.PP
It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream \fIin\fP\&. The input stream state points to the start of a serialized / persistent representation of an instance of this class type\&.
.PP
\fCTRUE\fP or \fCFALSE\fP is returned, depending on if the instantiation and configuration of the new object of this class type went OK or not\&. The import process should be robust and handle corrupted input streams by returning \fCFALSE\fP\&.
.PP
\fIflags\fP is used internally during binary import when reading user extension nodes, group nodes or engines\&. 
.PP
Reimplemented from \fBSoNode\fP\&.
.SS "\fBvoid\fP SoProto::write (\fBSoWriteAction\fP * action)\fC [virtual]\fP"
Action method for \fBSoWriteAction\fP\&.
.PP
Writes out a node object, and any connected nodes, engines etc, if necessary\&. 
.PP
Reimplemented from \fBSoNode\fP\&.
.SS "\fBvoid\fP SoProto::destroy (\fBvoid\fP)\fC [protected]\fP, \fC [virtual]\fP"
Cleans up all hanging references to and from this instance, and then commits suicide\&.
.PP
Called automatically when the reference count goes to zero\&.
