NAME
       coin_actions - Action Classes

        - Actions are objects that traverse a scene graph to drive some scene-
       related process.


SYNOPSIS
   Classes
       class SoAction
           The SoAction class is the base class for all traversal actions.
       class SoBoxHighlightRenderAction
           The SoBoxHighlightRenderAction class renders the scene with
           highlighted boxes around selections.
       class SoCallbackAction
           The SoCallbackAction class invokes callbacks at specific nodes.
       class SoGLRenderAction
           The SoGLRenderAction class renders the scene graph with OpenGL
           calls.
       class SoGetBoundingBoxAction
           The SoGetBoundingBoxAction class calculates bounding boxes for
           nodes and subgraphs.
       class SoGetMatrixAction
           The SoGetMatrixAction class is an action for accumulating the
           transformation matrix of a subgraph.
       class SoGetPrimitiveCountAction
           The SoGetPrimitiveCountAction class counts the primitives in a
           scene.
       class SoHandleEventAction
           The SoHandleEventAction class distributes user events to the scene.
       class SoLineHighlightRenderAction
           The SoLineHighlightRenderAction class renders selections with line
           highlighting.
       class SoPickAction
           The SoPickAction class is the base class for picking actions.
       class SoRayPickAction
           The SoRayPickAction class does ray intersection with scene graphs.
       class SoReorganizeAction
           The SoReorganizeAction class reorganizes your scene graph to
           optimize traversal/rendering.
       class SoSearchAction
           The SoSearchAction class provides methods for searching through
           scene graphs.
       class SoToVRMLAction
           The SoToVRMLAction class builds a new scene graph using only VRML
           1.0 nodes.
       class SoToVRML2Action
           The SoToVRML2Action class builds a new scene graph, using only
           VRML97/VRML2 nodes.
       class SoWriteAction
           The SoWriteAction class writes a scene graph to file.
       class SoAudioRenderAction
           The SoAudioRenderAction class renders the aural parts of the scene
           graph.
       class SoActionMethodList
           The SoActionMethodList class contains function pointers for action
           methods.
       class SoEnabledElementsList
           The SoEnabledElementsList class is a container for type info for
           element types that are enabled in actions.
       class SoIntersectionDetectionAction
           The SoIntersectionDetectionAction class is for detecting
           intersecting primitives in a scene.

Detailed Description
       Actions are objects that traverse a scene graph to drive some scene-
       related process.

       One example is OpenGL rendering, and another one ray picking. At the
       most basic level, most action management will be done for the user
       behind the scenes in an SoSceneManager object, and the only actions one
       might need to get acquainted with are SoSearchAction and SoWriteAction.

       For more advanced usage of Coin, one might want (or need) to take full
       control over driving all the actions oneself, in which case one will
       also need to know about the SoGLRenderAction, SoHandleEventAction,
       SoGetBoundingBoxAction, and SoRayPickAction.

       The remaining actions are mostly more special-purpose actions of
       various kinds, except for the SoCallbackAction.

       Before going to the step of implementing an extension action, one
       should really take a good look at the SoCallbackAction class, which is
       a general-purpose action that can be used as the framework for
       implementing almost any traversal-based process, with callback-hooks
       for all kinds of events that happen during traversal. In most cases,
       one can avoid the hassle of writing a new action, and just use
       SoCallbackAction instead.
