Purpose

The SoEdgeEmphasize draws the silhouette edges and inner edges (feature lines) of the scene graph rooted by this node.

In contrast to the SoSilhouette module, translucent materials cannot be handled. The subgraph must be opaque.

Details

The SoEdgeEmphasize uses the OpenGL depth buffer to detect the feature lines.

The SoSilhouette module requires an OpenGL stencil buffer from which it uses 1-bit.
