## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### SoCylinderDetail::SoCylinderDetail (void )

Constructor.

### SoCylinderDetail::~SoCylinderDetail () \[virtual\]

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

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

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

Implements **SoDetail**.

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

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

### void SoCylinderDetail::cleanupClass (void ) \[inline\], \[static\]

This static method cleans up static data of the class.

### SoDetail \* SoCylinderDetail::copy (void ) const \[virtual\]

Return a deep copy of ourself.

**Note that if the Coin library has been built as a DLL under Microsoft Windows and you use this method from application code, you** *must* **make sure that both the Coin DLL and the application executable are using the same instance of a C Run-Time (CRT) library. Otherwise, you** *will* **get memory heap corruption upon deallocating the returned instances, eventually leading to mysterious crashes.**\

*Implements* **SoDetail***.*

### void SoCylinderDetail::setPart (const int partarg)

*Set the part of a cylinder which was selected. A cylinder has three different conceptual parts;* **SoCylinder::SIDES***,* **SoCylinder::TOP** *or* **SoCylinder::BOTTOM***.*

### int SoCylinderDetail::getPart (void ) const

*Returns selected cylinder part.*

## Member Data Documentation

### int SoCylinderDetail::part \[protected\]

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