## Detailed Description

The **SoGLLinePatternElement** class changes the line stipple pattern of the OpenGL render state.

Requests from the scene graph to change the stipple pattern when rendering OpenGL line primitives will be made through this element, which forwards it to the appropriate native OpenGL call.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

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

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Initializes element in state to default value.

Reimplemented from **SoLinePatternElement**.

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

Creates new element in stack.

Reimplemented from **SoElement**.

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

Removes element from stack.

Reimplemented from **SoElement**.

### void SoGLLinePatternElement::setElt (int32\_t pattern) \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Called whenever element value is set. Triggers GL update.

Reimplemented from **SoInt32Element**.
