## Detailed Description

The **SoCreaseAngleElement** class stores the crease angle during a scene graph traversal.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### SoCreaseAngleElement::~SoCreaseAngleElement (void ) \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

### SoType SoCreaseAngleElement::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\]

This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class.

This static method returns the class type.

### int SoCreaseAngleElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) \[static\]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class.

### void \* SoCreaseAngleElement::createInstance (void ) \[static\]

*This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\

 Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the **SoType** object.

### void SoCreaseAngleElement::initClass (void ) \[static\]

This static method initializes static data for the **SoCreaseAngleElement** class.

### void SoCreaseAngleElement::init (SoState \* state) \[virtual\]

Initializes the element to its default value. The default value is 0.0.

Reimplemented from **SoFloatElement**.

### void SoCreaseAngleElement::set (SoState \*const state, SoNode \*const node, const float complexity) \[static\]

Sets the value of this element.

### void SoCreaseAngleElement::set (SoState \*const state, const float complexity) \[static\]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

### float SoCreaseAngleElement::get (SoState \*const state) \[static\]

Returns the element value. This method can be used if you know that the node that is going to use the crease angle is an Inventor node.

### float SoCreaseAngleElement::get (SoState \*const state, const SbBool isvrml1) \[static\]

Returns the element value. *isvrml1* should be TRUE if the node requesting the value is a VRML1 node.

This method is an extension versus the Open Inventor API.

**SoNode::getNodeType()**

### float SoCreaseAngleElement::getDefault (void ) \[static\]

Returns the default value for Inventor scene graphs (0.0).

### float SoCreaseAngleElement::getDefault (const SbBool isvrml1) \[static\]

Returns the default value for this element. *isvrml1* should be TRUE if the node requesting the value is a VRML1 node.

This method is an extension versus the Open Inventor API.
