Detailed Description

Instances of this class are typically allocated on the stack as automatic variables.

There is an SoBase pointer in the record that points to the base (node, path, or engine) from which the notification is being propagated. The contents of this pointer depend on the type of the notification. The type also indicates the nature of the notification. These are the possible types: 

CONTAINER:  A field has changed value and is notifying its
            container node or engine. The base is the container.

PARENT:     A child of a group has changed and is notifying
            its parent. The base is the child.

SENSOR:     A node or path is notifying a sensor of a change.
            The base is the thing to which the sensor is attached.

FIELD:      A field in a node or engine is notifying the
            field to which it is connected. The base is the
            container of the source field.

ENGINE:     An engine is notifying a field to which it is
            connected. The base is the engine.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Type

enum SoNotRec::Type

Note that these are also used for maintaining lists of auditors in SoBase instances. Each auditor uses one of these types to indicate how it is auditing the instance. This is then propagated to the auditors in the notification records.
