DESCRIPTION

70       This node is the abstract base  class  for  all  profile  nodes,  which
71       define  2D  curves.  A  profile  is not itself geometry, but is used to
72       change or delimit the geometry of something else. For an SoText3  node,
73       the profile determines the cross-section of the side of each text char‐
74       acter. For an SoNurbsSurface node, the profile is used to specify  trim
75       curves for the surface.
76
77       The  current profile state can consist of one or more profiles, each of
78       which can be made up of one or more  instances  of  SoProfile  subclass
79       nodes.  Each  profile  node  specifies  (in  the  index field) a set of
80       indices that refer to the current set of profile coordinates, specified
81       using  either  an SoProfileCoordinate2 or an SoProfileCoordinate3 node.
82       No profile curve should intersect itself or another profile curve.
83
84       Profiles are part of the state, just like  all  other  properties.  The
85       state  contains  a  current list of profiles.  Depending on the linkage
86       field, a profile can clear the list and begin a new  profile,  begin  a
87       new  profile  at the end of those already in the list, or append to the
88       last profile in the current list. Note that when appending profile B to
89       the  end  of  profile  A,  B must begin at the same 2D point at which A
90       ends.
