          Functions from class SoDetail:

     SbBool              SoNkDtlIsOfType(const SoNkDtl *this, SoType type)


DESCRIPTION
     This class contains detail information about a nodekit. This consists of
     a pointer to the nodekit, a pointer to the child part within the nodekit,
     and the name of the child part.

     During a pick action, each nodekit along the picked path creates its own
     SoNodeKitDetail. Together, the full set of details gives you complete
     picture of the pickpath.

     Since nodekits have hidden children (See the reference page for
     SoBaseKit), a regular SoPath ends at the topmost nodekit in the path. If
     you cast the pickpath from an SoPath pointer to an SoNodeKitPath pointer,
     you can then retrieve all nodekits along the path and examine their
     corresponding details.

FUNCTIONS
     SoNodeKitDetail *   SoNkDtlCreate()
     void                SoNkDtlDelete(SoNkDtl *this)
          Constructor and destructor.

     SoBaseKit *         SoNkDtlGetNodeKit(const SoNkDtl *this)
          Returns a pointer to the nodekit that created this detail.

     SoNode *            SoNkDtlGetPart(const SoNkDtl *this)
          Returns a pointer to the part selected within the nodekit that
          created this detail.

     const SbName *      SoNkDtlGetPartName(const SoNkDtl *this)
          Returns the name of the part selected within the nodekit that
          created this detail. (See SoRayPickAction in the ACTIONS section of
          the SoBaseKit reference page for more information).
