DESCRIPTION
     This node specifies the color to use for subsequent shapes as an index
     into the current color table. This is used only for BASE_COLOR lighting
     (see SoLightModel) in color index mode. Color index mode may be enabled
     by the window in which rendering occurs.

     Since color indices make sense only in the context of OpenGL rendering,
     this node implements only a method for the SoGLRenderAction.

FIELDS
     SoMFInt32           index
          Color index.


FUNCTIONS
     SoColorIndex *      SoColIndCreate()
          Creates a color index node with default settings.

     SoType              SoColIndGetClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.


ACTION BEHAVIOR
     SoGLRenderAction
          Sets the color index for subsequent shapes rendered with BASE_COLOR
          lighting.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     ColorIndex {
          index  1
     }
