Detailed Description

       The SoTransformerDragger provides geometry for translation, scaling and
       rotations.

       Here’s how the dragger looks with its default geometry in the inactive
       state:

       Translate the dragger by clicking and dragging any of the (invisible)
       sides. Translation will default be done in the plane of the side the
       end-user selected. The user can hold down a SHIFT key to lock
       translation to a single of the axes in the plane. By holding down a
       CTRL key instead, translation can be done along the plane’s normal
       vector.

       Scaling is done by dragging the corner cubes. By default, uniform
       scaling will be done. Hold down SHIFT before selecting any of the
       corners to do non-uniform scaling. Uniform scaling towards a corner-
       point can be accomplished by holding down CTRL before clicking and
       dragging one of the cubes.

       Rotation is done by dragging any of the 6 end-markers of the axis
       cross. The initial drag direction decides which orientation the
       rotation will be done in. Hold down SHIFT to do free-form rotation
       around the sphere instead.

       This is a big and complex dragger which needs a fair amount of proper
       documentation when provided in end-user applications. If what you are
       trying to accomplish in your application does not really demand most of
       the features of this dragger, you are advised to investigate whether or
       not any of the less complex draggers can fulfill your requirements --
       so you can provide an as simple as possible user interface to your end-
       users.

       For the application programmer’s convenience, the Coin library also
       provides a manipulator class called SoTransformerManip, which wraps the
       SoTransformerDragger into the necessary mechanisms for making direct
       insertion of this dragger into a scenegraph possible with very little
       effort.

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoTransformerDragger::State The various possible states the dragger
       might be in at any given time. That is: either
       SoTransformerDragger::INACTIVE if theres no interaction, or any of the
       other values to indicate what operation the end-user is currently
       executing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

       up the dragger nodekit catalog with the interaction and feedback
       geometry.

   SoTransformerDragger::~SoTransformerDragger (void) [protected, virtual]
       Protected destructor.
       (Dragger classes are derived from SoBase, so they are reference counted
       and automatically destroyed when their reference count goes to 0.)

Member Function Documentation

   void SoTransformerDragger::initClass (void) [static] Initializes type
       system for this dragger class.
       Application programmers should usually not have to invoke this method,
       see documentation of SoInteraction::init().

       Reimplemented from SoDragger.

   SoTransformerDragger::State SoTransformerDragger::getCurrentState (void)
       Returns an indicator for the current operation executed on the dragger
       by the end-user -- or SoTransformerDragger::INACTIVE if none.
   SbBool SoTransformerDragger::setUpConnections (SbBool onoff, SbBool
       doitalways = 0) [protected, virtual] Sets up all internal connections
       for instances of this class.
       (This method will usually not be of interest to the application
       programmer, unless you want to extend the library with new custom
       nodekits or dragger classes. If so, see the SoBaseKit class
       documentation.)

       Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.

   void SoTransformerDragger::setDefaultOnNonWritingFields (void) [protected,
       virtual] (Be aware that this method is unlikely to be of interest to
       the application programmer who does not want to extend the library with
       new custom nodekits or draggers. If you indeed are writing extensions,
       see the information in the SoBaseKit class documentation.)
       This is a virtual method, and the code in it should call
       SoField::setDefault() with argument TRUE on part fields that should not
       be written upon scenegraph export operations.

       This is typically done when:

       1.  field value is NULL and part is NULL by default

       2.  it is a leaf SoGroup or SoSeparator node with no children

       3.  it is a leaf listpart with no children and an SoGroup or
           SoSeparator container

       4.  it is a non-leaf part and it’s of SoGroup type and all fields are
           at their default values

       Subclasses should usually override this to do additional settings for
       new member fields. From the subclass, do remember to call ’upwards’ to
       your superclass’ setDefaultOnNonWritingFields() method.
       Reimplemented from SoDragger.

       Called when dragger is selected (picked) by the user.
   void SoTransformerDragger::drag (void) [protected] This API member is
       considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of
       interest to the application programmer.
       Called when user drags the mouse after picking the dragger.

       considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of

       the dragger.
