DESCRIPTION
This node is the abstract base class for all profile nodes, which define
2D curves. A profile is not itself geometry, but is used to change or
delimit the geometry of something else. For an SoText3 node, the profile
determines the cross-section of the side of each text character. For an
SoNurbsSurface node, the profile is used to specify trim curves for the
surface.
The current profile state can consist of one or more profiles, each of
which can be made up of one or more instances of SoProfile subclass
nodes. Each profile node specifies (in the index field) a set of indices
that refer to the current set of profile coordinates, specified using
either an SoProfileCoordinate2 or an SoProfileCoordinate3 node. No
profile curve should intersect itself or another profile curve.
Profiles are part of the state, just like all other properties. The state
contains a current list of profiles. Depending on the linkage field, a
profile can clear the list and begin a new profile, begin a new profile
at the end of those already in the list, or append to the last profile in
the current list. Note that when appending profile B to the end of
profile A, B must begin at the same 2D point at which A ends.
FIELDS
SoMFInt32 index
Indices into profile coordinates.
SoSFEnum linkage
Specifies connectivity of profile curve with respect to profiles in
current list in state.

SoType SoProfGetClassTypeId()

ACTION BEHAVIOR
SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction,
SoRayPickAction
Adds profile to current traversal state.
