DESCRIPTION
     A nodekit that is used for creating a shape (i.e. geometry). SoShapeKit
     is derived from SoSeparatorKit and SoBaseKit, and thus inherits all the
     parts defined by these classes.

     Furthermore, SoShapeKit adds numerous parts that can be used to define a
     variety of shape objects, a localTransform part, and of course a shape
     part.

     All of the property nodes requires to define any of the Inventor shapes
     are included as parts in this class. Not all of these parts (nodes) are
     needed for any one type of shape. For example, if you set the shape part
     to be an SoSphere node, then it is not necessary to create a
     profileCoordinate3 part since it will be ignored in drawing the sphere.
     (And the unneeded parts will not be created, so there is no performance
     penalty for using this class of node.

     This class contains two private parts. They are both SoSeparator nodes.
     One of them sits just below the nodekit itself, and serves to contain all
     properties within this nodekit from affecting nodes that come after this
     nodekit. The second separator sits above the shape part, and serves to
     cache the shape even when the transform, localTransform, or appearance
     parts are changing.

PARTS
     (SoSeparator)	     shapeSeparator
	  This is a private part. The parent node of the actual shape part. It
	  is a SoSeparator and is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

     (SoMaterialBinding)     materialBinding
	  An SoMaterialBinding node that can be used to set the material
	  binding for the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

SoShapeKit(3IV)

     (SoNormalBinding)	     normalBinding
	  An SoNormalBinding node that can be used to set the normal binding
	  for the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

     (SoTextureCoordinateBinding)
			     textureCoordinateBinding
	  An SoTextureCoordinateBinding node that can be used to set the
	  texture coordinate binding for the shape. This part is NULL by
	  default, but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoShapeHints)	     shapeHints
	  An SoShapeHints node that can be used to set the shape hints for the
	  shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if
	  necessary.

     (SoCoordinate3)	     coordinate3
	  An SoCoordinate3 node that can be used to set the 3D coordinates for
	  a vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

     (SoCoordinate4)	     coordinate4
	  An SoCoordinate4 node that can be used to set the 4D coordinates for
	  a NURBS shapes. This part is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

     (SoNormal)		     normal
	  An SoNormal node that can be used to set the normal vectors for a
	  vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

     (SoTextureCoordinate2)  textureCoordinate2
	  An SoTextureCoordinate2 node that can be used to set the texture
	  coordinates for a vertex-based shape. This part is NULL by default,
	  but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoTextureCoordinateFunction)
			     textureCoordinateFunction
	  An SoTextureCoordinateFunction node that can be used to set the a
	  procedural texture coordinates function for a vertex-based shape.
	  This part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if
	  necessary.

     (SoProfileCoordinate2)  profileCoordinate2
	  An SoProfileCoordinate2 node that can be used to set the 2D profile
	  coordinates for a shape that uses them, (e.g., SoText3). This part
	  is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoProfileCoordinate3)  profileCoordinate3
	  An SoProfileCoordinate3 node that can be used to set the 3D profile
	  coordinates for a shape that uses them, (e.g., SoSoNURBSCurve). This
	  part is NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoNodeKitListPart)     profileList
	  An SoProfileList node that can be used to set the profile curve for
	  a shape that uses them, (e.g., SoNurbsCurve). This part is NULL by
	  default, but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoTransform)	     localTransform
	  An SoTransform node that can be used to set a local tranformation on
	  the shape. This part is NULL by default, but is created
	  automatically if necessary.

     (SoShape)		     shape
	  This is the part which specifies the actual shape node. This can be
	  any node derived from SoShape By default, an SoCube is created. It
	  is important to set all of the appropriate parts within this nodekit
	  to suit the type of SoShape that is used. For example, if the shape
	  part is set to an SoFaceSet, then the coordinate3 shape and probably
	  the normal shape would be set as well. See the reference page of the
	  shape used for details on which other nodes are necessary.

FUNCTIONS
     SoShapeKit *	       SoShapeKitCreate()
	  Constructor.

     const SoNodekitCatalog *  SoShapeKitGetClassNkitCat()
	  Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for the class SoShapeKit.

     SoType		       SoShapeKitGetClassTypeId()
	  Returns type identifier for this class.
