NAME
     SoDetail - base class for describing detail information about a shape
     node

INHERITS FROM
     SoDetail

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Inventor/details/SoDetail.h>

          Methods from class SoDetail:

     SoDetail *          copy() const
     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
     virtual SoType      getTypeId() const
     SbBool              isOfType(SoType type) const


DESCRIPTION
     SoDetail is the abstract base class for all detail classes. A detail
     contains shape-specific information about a particular shape during
     picking and primitive generation. Subclasses store information based on
     the particular type of shape.

METHODS
     SoDetail *          copy() const
          Returns an instance that is a copy of this instance. The caller is
          responsible for deleting the copy when it is no longer needed.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

     virtual SoType      getTypeId() const
          Returns the type identifier for a specific instance.

     SbBool              isOfType(SoType type) const
          Returns TRUE if this object is of the type specified in type or is
          derived from that type. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.
