DESCRIPTION
     This node is the abstract base class for all vertex-based shapes that are
     not constructed from indices, such as SoFaceSet, SoLineSet, and
     SoQuadMesh.

     All subclasses of SoNonIndexedShape construct objects by using the
     coordinates specified in the vertexProperty field (from SoVertexShape),
     or the current inherited coordinates. The startIndex field defined by
     this class is now obsolete, and is provided here only for compatibility
     with old files and programs.

     The subclass decides what to do with this and any subsequent coordinates.
     The shape is drawn with the current lighting model and drawing style and
     is transformed by the current transformation matrix.

     Material, normal, and texture coordinate bindings for shapes derived from
     this class ignore any index specifications. That is, a binding value of
     PER_FACE_INDEXED is treated the same way as PER_FACE, and so on.

     If there aren't sufficient values in the current coordinates, material,
     or texture coordinates, errors will occur.

FIELDS
     SoSFInt32           startIndex
          Obsolete field, provided only for compatibility reasons. Index of
          first coordinate of shape.


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