Purpose

This node represents a 3D shape formed by constructing polylines from vertices located at the coordinates specified in SoVertexProperty or the current inherited coordinates. For optimal performance, the vertexProperty field is recommended.

SoLineSet uses the coordinates in order, starting with the first one. Each line has a number of vertices specified by a value in the Num Vertices field. For example, an SoLineSet with a Num Vertices of [3,4,2] would use coordinates 1, 2, and 3 for the first line, coordinates 4, 5, 6, and 7 for the second line, and coordinates 8 and 9 for the third.

The number of values in the Num Vertices field indicates the number of polylines in the set.

The coordinates of the line set are transformed by the current cumulative transformation. The lines are drawn with the current light model and drawing style (drawing style FILLED is treated as LINES).
