DESCRIPTION

79       The  SoBlinker class is derived from SoSwitch, so it selects one of its
80       children to traverse. Using engines connected to  the  realTime  global
81       field, the whichChild field is animated over time. If the node has only
82       one child, whichChild toggles between SO_SWITCH_NONE and 0, causing the
83       child  to  be switched on and off repeatedly. If the node has more than
84       one child, they are cycled through continuously.
85

FIELDS

87     SoSFFloat           speed
88          Defines the speed of the blinker, in cycles per second.
89
90     SoSFBool            on
91          Allows applications to enable or disable the blinking easily.

93

METHODS

95                         SoBlinker()
96          Creates a blinker node with default settings.
97
98     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
99          Returns type identifier for this class.

103       SoGLRenderAction,  SoCallbackAction,  SoGetBoundingBoxAction,  SoGetMa‐
104       trixAction, SoHandleEventAction, SoRayPickAction, SoSearchAction
105          Same as for SoSwitch.
