DESCRIPTION
     This node defines the current drawing style for all subsequent shape
     nodes in a scene graph. SoDrawStyle specifies how primitives should be
     rendered. The drawing style has no effect on picking or callback
     primitive generation.

FIELDS
     SoSFEnum            style
          Drawing style.

     SoSFFloat           pointSize
          Radius of points (for POINTS style).

     SoSFFloat           lineWidth
          Width of lines (for LINES style).

     SoSFUShort          linePattern
          Stipple pattern for lines (for LINES style). Values can range from 0
          (invisible) to 0xffff (solid). This specifies how dashed or dotted
          lines will be drawn.


METHODS
                         SoDrawStyle()
          Creates a drawing style node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.


ACTION BEHAVIOR
     SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction
          Sets the current drawing style.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     DrawStyle {
          style        FILLED
          pointSize    0
          lineWidth    0
          linePattern  0xffff
     }
