DESCRIPTION
     This class contains detail information about a point in a vertex-based
     shape made of points. It is used for returning information about an
     intersection with or primitives generated by a set of points. It is also
     used by SoFaceDetail and SoLineDetail to return information about the
     vertices of faces and line segments.

METHODS
                         SoPointDetail()
     virtual             ~SoPointDetail()
          Constructor and destructor.

     int32_t             getCoordinateIndex() const
          Returns the index of the point within the relevant coordinate node.

     int32_t             getMaterialIndex() const
          Returns the index of the material for the point within the relevant
          material node.

     int32_t             getNormalIndex() const
          Returns the index of the surface normal at the point within the
          relevant normal node. Note that if normals have been generated for a
          shape, the index may not be into an existing normal node.
     int32_t             getTextureCoordIndex() const
          Returns the index of the texture coordinates for the point within
          the relevant normal node. Note that if texture coordinates have been
          generated for a shape, the index may not be into an existing texture
          coordinate node.
