## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### SoGLCacheList::SoGLCacheList (int numcaches = 2)

Constructor.

### SoGLCacheList::~SoGLCacheList ()

Destructor. Frees remaining caches.

## Member Function Documentation

### SbBool SoGLCacheList::call (SoGLRenderAction \* action)

Test for valid cache and execute. Returns TRUE if a valid cache could be found, FALSE otherwise. Note that when a valid cache is found, it is executed before returning from this method.

### void SoGLCacheList::open (SoGLRenderAction \* action, SbBool autocache = TRUE)

Start recording a new cache. Remember to call **close()** when you've finished recording the cache.

**See also**

**close()**

### void SoGLCacheList::close (SoGLRenderAction \* action)

Finish recording the currently open cache.

**open()**

### void SoGLCacheList::invalidateAll (void )

Invalidate all caches in this instance. Should be called from the notify() method of nodes doing caching.
