| GetDelaySensorTimeout | Returns the current delay queue timeout value. |
| GetGlobalField | Returns the global field with the given name, or NULL if there is none. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetHeaderString | Returns the i'th header. |

| GetNumHeaders | Returns the number of valid headers, including standard Open Inventor headers, and user-registered headers. |
| GetNumRenderCaches | Returns the current maximum number of render caches. |
| GetRealTimeInterval | Returns how often the database is updating the realTime global field. |
| GetRenderCacheMode | Returns the current render cache mode. |
| GetTickCount | Returns the current time. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetVersion | Obsolete. Returns a character string identifying the version of the Open Inventor library in use. |
| IsMultiThread | Returns whether multi-thread support is enabled in Open Inventor. |
| IsPrioritizedChildrenCaching | Obsolete. Returns the children caching priority state. |
| IsValidHeader | This returns true if the given character string is one of the valid Open Inventor file headers, (e.g., "#Inventor V2.0 binary"), or if the string has been registered as a valid header through the registerHeader() method. |
| LicenseCheck(String, Single) | Obsolete. Calls LicenseCheck(productName, version, (System.String ^)nullptr, true, (cli.array<System.String^>^)nullptr). |
| LicenseCheck(String, Single, String) | Obsolete. Calls LicenseCheck(productName, version, licenseString, true, (cli.array<System.String^>^)nullptr). |
| LicenseCheck(String, Single, String, Boolean) | Obsolete. Calls LicenseCheck(productName, version, licenseString, printWarning, (cli.array<System.String^>^)nullptr). |
| LicenseCheck(String, Single, String, Boolean, String) | Obsolete. Query if Open Inventor or an extension module is licensed on this machine. |
| OpenRegistryKey | Calls OpenRegistryKey(false). |
| OpenRegistryKey(Boolean) | |
| OpenTGSRegistryKey | Obsolete. Calls OpenTGSRegistryKey(false). |
| OpenTGSRegistryKey(Boolean) | Obsolete. Obsoletesince Open Inventor 8100 Use SoDB.openRegistryKey instead. |
| PrioritizeChildrenCaching | Obsolete. Set the priority to children caching. |
| ProcessEvents | Process Open Inventor sensor queues (TimerQueue and DelayQueue). |
| Read(SoInput, SoNode) | |
| Read(SoInput, SoPath) | Reads a graph from the file specified by the given SoInput, returning the resulting path in path. |
| ReadAll(String) |
Read all graphs from the file specified by the file name. See #ReadAll(SoInput) for more details.
|
| ReadAll(SoInput) | Reads all graphs and paths from the file specified by the given SoInput. |
| ReadAllVRML | Obsolete. Reads all graphs and paths from the VRML file specified by the given SoInput. |
| Readlock | Acquire a non-exclusive global scene graph read-lock. |
| ReadPROTOFromFile | |
| Readunlock | Release a non-exclusive global scene graph read-lock. |
| RemoveConverter | Remove a previously added converter. |
| RemovePlugin | Unloads the specified plugin library. |
| RemovePluginsDirectory | Remove directory from the list of search directories for plugin loading. |
| RemoveRoute | Removes a VRML 2.0 ROUTE-TO connection. |
| RenameGlobalField | Renames the global field named oldName. |
| SetDelaySensorTimeout | This sets the timeout value for sensors that are delay queue sensors (one-shot sensors, data sensors). |
| SetIvTuneAllowed | |
| SetNumRenderCaches | This method sets the maximum number of caches for nodes that create render caches. |
| SetRealTimeInterval | The database automatically creates one global field when SoDB.init() is called. |
| SetRenderCacheMode | This method specifies the way render caches (display lists) will be created. |
| SetSystemTimer | The system dependent timer allows Inventor to manage its sensor queue (for timers, animation) when creating custom viewers. |
| TGSLicenseCheck(String, Single) | Obsolete. Calls TGSLicenseCheck(productName, version, (System.String ^)nullptr, true). |
| TGSLicenseCheck(String, Single, String) | Obsolete. Calls TGSLicenseCheck(productName, version, licenseString, true). |
| TGSLicenseCheck(String, Single, String, Boolean) | Obsolete. Obsoletesince Open Inventor 8000 Use SoDB.LicenseCheck instead. |
| ThreadInit |
Initializes the database with support for multi thread programs.
|
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Writelock | Acquire the global scene graph write-lock. |
| Writeunlock | Release the global scene graph write-lock. |
RemarksThe SoDB class holds all scene graphs, each representing a 3D scene used by an application. A scene graph is a collection of SoNode objects which come in several varieties (see SoNode).
All methods in this class are static.
Data Files:
SoDB also provides convenient methods for reading data files, for example:
String filename = "$OIVHOME/data/models/bird.iv"; SoSeparator rootSep = null; SoInput input = new SoInput(); if (input.OpenFile(filename)) { rootSep = SoDB.ReadAll( input ); input.CloseFile(); }
Open Inventor
VRML/X3D
OpenFlight
DXF
STL (see SoSTLFileFormat and SoSTLInputReader)
Open Inventor also supports many standard CAD file formats. See SoCADInputReader for the current list. Also see SoCADFileFormat.
Version Number:
Please use the SoLicensesInfo class to query the Open Inventor version number.
