## Member Function Documentation

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

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

Reimplemented from **SoSimplifyAction**.

### void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::addMethod (const SoType type, SoActionMethod method) \[static\]

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

### void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::enableElement (const SoType type, const int stackindex) \[static\]

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

### virtual const SoEnabledElementsList & SoGlobalSimplifyAction::getEnabledElements (void ) const \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Returns list of enabled elements.

Reimplemented from **SoSimplifyAction**.

### virtual void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::beginTraversal (SoNode \* node) \[protected\], \[virtual\]

This virtual method is called from **SoAction::apply()**, and is the entry point for the actual scene graph traversal.

It can be overridden to initialize the action at traversal start, for specific initializations in the action subclasses inheriting **SoAction**.

Default method just calls **traverse()**, which any overridden implementation of the method must do too (or call **SoAction::beginTraversal()**) to trigger the scene graph traversal.

Reimplemented from **SoSimplifyAction**.
