DESCRIPTION
The SoAppearanceKit is used to create a group of property nodes that will be used to affect subsequent shape nodes or nodekits in the scene graph.

This nodekit defines seven new parts: lightModel, environment, drawStyle, material, complexity, texture2, and font. Note that it does not include binding nodes such as SoMaterialBinding.

SoAppearanceKit is derived from SoBaseKit and thus also includes a callbackList part for adding callback nodes.

PARTS
(SoLightModel)  lightModel
An SoLightModel node that affects any shapes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.
(SoEnvironment)  environment
An SoEnvironment node that affects any nodes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.
(SoDrawStyle)  drawStyle
An SoDrawStyle node that affects any shapes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.
(SoMaterial)  material
An SoMaterial node that affects any shapes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.
(SoComplexity)  complexity
An SoComplexity node that affects any shapes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.
(SoTexture2)  texture2
An SoTexture2 node that affects any shapes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.
(SoFont)  font
An SoFont node that affects any text nodes that follow this nodekit in the scene graph. This part is NULL by default.

METHODS
SoAppearanceKit()
Constructor.
static const SoNodekitCatalog * getClassNodekitCatalog() const
Returns the SoNodekitCatalog for this class
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.
