"TheSbClipclassisagenericpolygonclipperclass.

It is used by first adding all vertices in the polygon, and then clipping against any number of planes. If you need to supply additional information per vertex (e.g. texture coordinates), you should supply a callback in the constructor, and a pointer to your vertex structure in addVertex(). For every new vertex created, the callback is called with the line being clipped, including the pointers to your vertex structures and the position of the new (clipped against some plane) vertex. You should then create a new vertex structure, calculate your data (e.g. a new texture coordinate) and return a pointer to this structure. " class SbColor

The SbIntList class is a container for integer list arrays. class SbList< Type >

"TheSbListclassisatemplatecontainerclassforlists.

SbList is an extension of the Coin library versus the original Open Inventor API. Open Inventor handles most list classes by inheriting the SbPList class, which contains an array of generic void* pointers. By using this template-based class instead, we can share more code and make the list handling code more typesafe. " class SbPList
