DESCRIPTION
SoTransformBoxDragger is a composite dragger shaped like a box with small cubes at the corners. Click and
drag any of these cubes to scale the box uniformly. Drag any edge of the box to rotate the whole dragger
about its center, along an axis parallel to that edge. Pick any face of the box for 2D translation in the
plane of that face.
Although the box looks just about like a wireframe cube, it is composed of many different simple draggers
arranged in a composite assembly. When one part is dragged, the transformBox makes sure they all move
together. Each of the parts of the box is a different dragger with the default geometry changed. The
faces of the box are SoTranslate2Draggers, the edges are SoRotateCylindricalDraggers, and the cubes are
an SoScaleUniformDragger. Drag them and the dragger will update its translation, rotation and scaleFactor
fields to reflect the changes. As with all draggers, if you change the fields the dragger will move to
match the new settings.
Remember: This is not an SoTransform!. If you want to move other objects with this dragger, you can
either:
[a] Use an SoTransformBoxManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates one of these draggers
and uses it as the interface to change its fields. (see the SoTransformBoxManip man page).
[b] Use field-to-field connections to connect the fields of this dragger to those of any SoTransformation
node.
You can change the parts in any instance of this dragger using setPart(). The default part geometries are
defined as resources for this SoTransformBoxDragger class. They are detailed in the Dragger Resources
section of the online reference page for this class. You can make your program use different default
resources for the parts by copying the file /usr/share/data/draggerDefaults/transformBoxDragger.iv into
your own directory, editing the file, and then setting the environment variable SO_DRAGGER_DIR to be a
path to that directory.
FIELDS
SoSFRotation rotation
Orientation of the dragger.
SoSFVec3f translation
Position of the dragger.
SoSFVec3f scaleFactor
Scale of the dragger.
METHODS
SoTransformBoxDragger()
Constructor.
static const SoNodekitCatalog *
getClassNodekitCatalog() const
Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.

DRAGGER RESOURCES
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxScalerScaler
.in 0n+.5i
Part: scaler.scaler
Appearance: Eight small white cubes at the corners of the box
Description: Picking this initiates uniform 3D scaling of the dragger.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxScalerScalerActive
.in 0n+.5i
Part: scaler.scalerActive
Appearance: Yellow version of the regular scaler part
Description: Displayed while the dragger is being scaled.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxScalerFeedback
.in 0n+.5i
Part: scaler.feedback
Appearance: Empty separator
Description: Removes any feedback geometry created in the constructor of the SoScaleUniformDragger.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxScalerFeedbackActive
.in 0n+.5i
Part: scaler.feedbackActive
Appearance: Empty separator
Description: Removes any feedbackActive geometry created in the constructor of the
SoScaleUniformDragger.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxRotatorRotator
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: rotator1.rotator
rotator2.rotator
rotator3.rotator
Appearance: Four white lines along the edges of the box
Description: Picking this begins rotational dragging. In each of the three rotateCylindrical draggers,
the lines of the rotator part are oriented parallel to the axis of rotation.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxRotatorRotatorActive
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: rotator1.rotatorActive
rotator2.rotatorActive
rotator3.rotatorActive
Appearance: Four yellow lines along the edges of the box
Description: Displayed while the dragger is being rotated
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxRotatorFeedback
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: rotator1.feedback
rotator2.feedback
rotator3.feedback
Appearance: Empty separator
Description: Removes any feedback geometry created in the constructor of the
SoRotateCylindricalDragger.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxRotatorFeedbackActive
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: rotator1.feedbackActive
rotator2.feedbackActive
rotator3.feedbackActive
Appearance: Thin purple line through center of box
Description: Displayed to show axis of rotation during rotational dragging.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxTranslatorTranslator
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: translator1.translator
translator2.translator
translator3.translator
translator4.translator
translator5.translator
translator6.translator
Appearance: Invisible but pickable square surface
Description: Picking these begins 2-D translational dragging within the plane of one of the sides of
the box. The invisible squares of the six translate2Draggers are arranged to form the
sides of the box. The squares are easy to discern, although rendered as invisible;
they are bounded by the lines of the rotational dragger parts.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxTranslatorTranslatorActive
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: translator1.translatorActive
translator2.translatorActive
translator3.translatorActive
translator4.translatorActive

.in 0n+.5i
Parts: translator1.xAxisFeedback
translator2.xAxisFeedback
translator3.xAxisFeedback
translator4.xAxisFeedback
translator5.xAxisFeedback
translator6.xAxisFeedback
Appearance: Short thin purple line
Description: Only shown if dragger is moving and the axis is a permissable direction of motion. When
pressing <shift>, motion is constrained, and this is displayed only if the primary
motion is in the X direction.
.in 0n+.5i
Resource: transformBoxTranslatorYAxisFeedback
.in 0n+.5i
Parts: translator1.yAxisFeedback

pressing <shift>, motion is constrained, and this is displayed only if the primary
motion is in the Y direction.
