### SoProfilerStats::SoProfilerStats (void )

**Constructor**

### SoProfilerStats::~SoProfilerStats () \[protected\], \[virtual\]

**Destructor**

## Member Function Documentation

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

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

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

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

**Implements SoBase.**

### const SoFieldData \*\* SoProfilerStats::getFieldDataPtr (void ) \[static\], \[protected\]

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

 **Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.**

### const SoFieldData \* SoProfilerStats::getFieldData (void ) const \[protected\], \[virtual\]

**Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns** NULL**.**

**Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.**

### void SoProfilerStats::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.**

**This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::handleEvent (SoHandleEventAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for SoHandleEventAction.**

**Inspects the event data from** *action***, and processes it if it is something which this node should react to.**

**Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how event handling is done also override this method.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::rayPick (SoRayPickAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for SoRayPickAction.**

**Checks the ray specification of the** *action* **and tests for intersection with the data of the node.**

**Nodes influencing relevant state variables for how picking is done also override this method.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.**

**Calculates bounding box and center coordinates for node and modifies the values of the** *action* **to encompass the bounding box for this node and to shift the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node.**

**Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their bounding box also override this method to change the relevant state variables.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.**

**Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the** *action***.**

**Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::audioRender (SoAudioRenderAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for SoAudioRenderAction.**

**Does common processing for SoAudioRenderAction** *action* **instances.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::callback (SoCallbackAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for SoCallbackAction.**

**Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::getMatrix (SoGetMatrixAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for SoGetMatrixAction.**

**Updates** *action* **by accumulating with the transformation matrix of this node (if any).**

**Action method for SoSearchAction.**

**Compares the search criteria from the** *action* **to see if this node is a match. Searching is done by matching up** *all* **criteria set up in the SoSearchAction -- if** *any* **of the requested criteria is a miss, the search is not deemed successful for the node.**

**SoSearchAction**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

### void SoProfilerStats::write (SoWriteAction \* action) \[virtual\]

**Action method for SoWriteAction.**

**Writes out a node object, and any connected nodes, engines etc, if necessary.**

**Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made.**

**Reimplemented from SoNode.**

## Member Data Documentation

### SoMFName SoProfilerStats::renderedNodeType

**Name of types traversed during the current render traversal.**

**This field is tightly connected to the** *renderingTimePerNodeType* **field as it will contain the same number of elements, and each value in** *renderingTimePerNodeType* **matches the node type with the same index in this field.**

**See also**

**SoProfilerStats::renderingTimePerNodeType**

### SoMFTime SoProfilerStats::renderingTimePerNodeType

**Time spent, during the current render traversal, per node type.**

**This field is tightly connected to the** *renderedNodeType* **field as it will contain the same number of elements, and each value in this field matches the node type with the same index in** *renderedNodeType***.**
