## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

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

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

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

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

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

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

### void \* SoGLDrawStyleElement::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 SoGLDrawStyleElement::initClass (void ) \[static\]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system.

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

FIXME: write doc.

Reimplemented from **SoDrawStyleElement**.

### void SoGLDrawStyleElement::push (SoState \* state) \[virtual\]

This method is called every time a new element is required in one of the stacks. This happens when a writable element is requested, using **SoState::getElement()** or indirectly **SoElement::getElement()**, and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth.

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. The **push()** method is called on the new element, and the previous element can be found using **SoElement::getNextInStack()**.

Reimplemented from **SoElement**.

### void SoGLDrawStyleElement::pop (SoState \* state, const SoElement \* prevTopElement) \[virtual\]

This method is called when the state is popped, and the depth of the element is bigger than the current state depth. **pop()** is called on the new top of stack, and a pointer to the previous top of stack is passed in *prevTopElement*.

Override this method if you need to copy some state information from the previous top of stack.

Reimplemented from **SoElement**.

### void SoGLDrawStyleElement::setElt (int32\_t value) \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Set element value.

Reimplemented from **SoInt32Element**.
