## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<Inventor/details/SoLineDetail.h\>**

Methods from class SoLineDetail:

	**SoLineDetail()**\
 **virtual** 	**~SoLineDetail()**\
 **const SoPointDetail \***	**getPoint0() const**\
 **const SoPointDetail \***	**getPoint1() const**\
 **int32\_t**	**getLineIndex() const**\
 **int32\_t**	**getPartIndex() const**\

**SoDetail \***	**copy() const**\
 **virtual SoType**	**getTypeId() const**\
 **SbBool**	**isOfType(SoType type) const**

## DESCRIPTION

**This class contains detail information about a point on a line segment in a vertex-based shape made of line segments. The information includes the points at the ends of the segment, and the index of the** **segment within the shape.**

## METHODS

	**SoLineDetail()**\
 **virtual** 	**~SoLineDetail()**\
 Constructor and destructor.

**const SoPointDetail \***	**getPoint0() const**\
 **const SoPointDetail \***	**getPoint1() const**\
 These return information about the two points forming the end vertices of the line segment, represented as an **SoPointDetail**.

**int32\_t**	**getLineIndex() const**\
 Returns the index of the line the segment is part of within a shape, such as the third line within an **SoLineSet**.

**int32\_t**	**getPartIndex() const**\
 Returns the index of the part containing the line segment within the shape. Usually, the part index is the same as the line segment index, such as the fifth segment overall within an **SoLineSet**.

**static SoType**	**getClassTypeId()**\
 Returns type identifier for this class.
