## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### SoFieldList::SoFieldList (void ) \[inline\]

Default constructor.

### SoFieldList::SoFieldList (const int sizehint) \[inline\]

This constructor initializes the internal allocated size for the list to *sizehint*. Note that the list will still initially contain zero items.

**See also**

**SbList::SbList(const int)**

### SoFieldList::SoFieldList (const SoFieldList & l) \[inline\]

Copy constructor.

**See also**

**SbList::SbList(const SbList\<Type\> & l)**

## Member Function Documentation

### void SoFieldList::append (SoField \* field) \[inline\]

Append *item* to the end of the list.

Automatically allocates more items internally if needed.

Overloaded from parent to accept an **SoField** pointer argument.

**See also**

**SbPList::append()**

### void SoFieldList::insert (SoField \* field, const int insertbefore) \[inline\]

Insert *item* at index *insertbefore*.

*insertbefore* should not be larger than the current number of items in the list.

Overloaded from parent to accept an **SoField** pointer argument.

**See also**

**SbPList::insert()**

### SoField \* SoFieldList::operator\[\] (const int idx) const \[inline\]

Returns element at *index*.

Will automatically expand the size of the internal array if *index* is outside the current bounds of the list. The values of any additional pointers are then set to NULL.

Overloaded from parent to return an **SoField** pointer.

**See also**

**SbPList::operator\[\]()**

### void SoFieldList::set (const int index, SoField \* item) \[inline\]

Overloaded from parent to accept an **SoField** pointer argument.

### SoField \* SoFieldList::get (const int idx) const \[inline\]

Returns element at *index*. Does *not* expand array bounds if *index* is outside the list.

Overloaded from parent to return an **SoField** pointer.

**See also**

**SbPList::get()**
