This node represents a set of points located at the coordinates specified by the
vertexProperty field (from
SoVertexShape) or the current inherited coordinates. For optimal performance, the
vertexProperty field is recommended.
SoPointSet uses the coordinates
in order, starting with the first one. The number of points in the set is specified by the
numPoints field.
The coordinates of the point set are transformed by the current cumulative transformation. The points
are drawn with the current light model and drawing style (drawing styles
FILLED and
LINES are treated as
POINTS).
Treatment of the current material and normal binding is as follows:
PER_PART,
PER_FACE, and
PER_VERTEX bindings bind one material
or normal to each point. The default material binding is
OVERALL. The default normal binding is
PER_VERTEX.
Draws points based on the current coordinates, normals, materials, drawing style, and so on.
