Purpose¶

The node SoPointSet represents a set of points located at the coordinates specified by SoVertexProperty or the currently inherited coordinates. For optimal performance, using the vertexProperty field is recommended.

SoPointSet uses the coordinates in order, starting with the first one. The number of points in the set is specified by the Num Points field.

The coordinates of the point set are transformed by the current cumulative transformation. The points are rendered with the current light model and drawing style (drawing styles FILLED and LINES are treated as POINTS).

The treatment of the current material and normal binding is as follows: PER_PART, PER_FACE, and PER_VERTEX bindings bind one material or normal to each point. The default material binding is OVERALL, and the default normal binding is PER_VERTEX.
