# ScXMLDocument(3)

## NAME

ScXMLDocument

## SYNOPSIS

\#include \<Inventor/scxml/Document.h\>

Inherits **ScXMLObject**.

### Public Member Functions

virtual **SoType** **getTypeId** (void) const\
 Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting **SoBase**. This is used for runtime type checking and *downward"*casting. void **setFilename** (const char \*filename)\
 const char \* **getFilename** (void) const\
 virtual void **setRoot** (**ScXMLScxmlElt** \*root)\
 **ScXMLScxmlElt** \* **getRoot** (void) const\
 **ScXMLAbstractStateElt** \* **getStateById** (**SbName** id) const\
 **ScXMLDataElt** \* **getDataById** (**SbName** id) const\

Public Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLObject** SbBool **isOfType** (**SoType** type) const\
 Returns TRUE if the type of this object is either of the same type or inherited from *type*.

### Static Public Member Functions

static **SoType** **getClassTypeId** (void)\
 static void \* **createInstance** (void)\
 static void **initClass** (void)\
 static void **cleanClass** (void)\
 static **ScXMLDocument** \* **readFile** (const char \*filename)\
 static **ScXMLDocument** \* **readBuffer** (const **SbByteBuffer** &buffer)\
 static **ScXMLDocument** \* **readXMLData** (cc\_xml\_doc \*xmldoc)\

Static Public Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLObject** static **SoType** **getClassTypeId** (void)\
 This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class.     static void **initClass** (void)\
 Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.     static void **cleanClass** (void)\
 Does the opposite of initClass, deallocates any class specific resources and resets the class to an uninitialized state with respect to the Coin type system.

### Additional Inherited Members

Static Protected Member Functions inherited from **ScXMLObject** static void **registerClassType** (const char \*xmlns, const char \*classname, **SoType** type)\
 static void **registerInvokeClassType** (const char \*xmlns, const char \*targettype, const char \*source, **SoType** type)\

## Detailed Description

The \<**ScXMLDocument** class is a container class for a complete SCXML document.

## Member Function Documentation

### SoType ScXMLDocument::getTypeId (void ) const \[virtual\]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting **SoBase**. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

**SoBase::getTypeId() const**

Implements **ScXMLObject**.
