Detailed Description

The ICEDataProviderNode object represents a GetDataNode in an ICE graph.

The responsibility of an ICEDataProviderNode is to to read the data from Softimage objects and is typically used to initiate the data flow of the graph.

Example:

This example demonstrates how to log all the data provider nodes in a graph.

        X3DObject cube = sel[0];

        ICETree cubeICETree = cube.GetActivePrimitive().GetICETrees()[0];

        TraverseNodeGraph( cubeICETree );

        void TraverseNodeGraph( const ICENode& in_node )
        {
            Application xsi;
