NAME
     SoDetail (SoDtl) - base class for describing detail information about a
     shape node

INHERITS FROM
     SoDetail

SYNOPSIS
     #include <Inventor_c/details/SoDetail.h>

     typedef SoDetail    SoDtl

          Functions from class SoDetail:

     SoDetail *          SoDtlVirtual(const SoDtl *this)
     SoType              SoDtlGetClassTypeId()
     SoType              SoDtlGetTypeId(const SoDtl *this)
     SbBool              SoDtlIsOfType(const SoDtl *this, SoType type)


DESCRIPTION
     SoDetail is the abstract base class for all detail classes. A detail
     contains shape-specific information about a particular shape during
     picking and primitive generation. Subclasses store information based on
     the particular type of shape.

FUNCTIONS
     SoDetail *          SoDtlVirtual(const SoDtl *this)
          Returns an instance that is a copy of this instance. The caller is
          responsible for deleting the copy when it is no longer needed.

     SoType              SoDtlGetClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.

     SoType              SoDtlGetTypeId(const SoDtl *this)
          Returns the type identifier for a specific instance.

     SbBool              SoDtlIsOfType(const SoDtl *this, SoType type)
          Returns TRUE if this object is of the type specified in type or is
          derived from that type. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.
