## Member Function Documentation

### void SoNodeKit::init (void ) \[static\]

Initialize the nodekit system.

Note that this method is *not* called implicitly from **SoDB::init()**. As a matter of fact, this method calls **SoDB::init()** itself to make sure all the underlying classes for the nodekits classes have been initialized.

This method is also called from within **SoInteraction::init()**, as the interaction functionality in Coin depends on the nodekit classes.
