DESCRIPTION
     This node is the abstract base class for all shape (geometry) nodes. All
     classes derived from SoShape draw geometry during render traversal.

FUNCTIONS
     SoType              SoShapeGetClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     This is an abstract class. See the reference page of a derived class for
     the format and default values.
