Detailed Description

       The SoDragPointDragger class provides mechanisms for moving a point in 3D.

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

       This dragger is convenient to use when it is desirable that the end-user should interact
       with points by positioning them freely in 3D space.

       The dragger consists of a part for 2D motion in a plane (like the SoTranslate2Dragger) and
       another part on the axis normal to the plane.

       While the dragger is inactive (ie the user is not currently grabbing and / or dragging
       it's parts), the CTRL keys on the keyboard can be used to switch the orientation of the
       2D-plane part and the normal-axis part so the normal-axis part points along one of the
       other principal axes. This is done by position the mouse pointer over the dragger geometry
       and pressing and releasing a CTRL key.

   SoDragPointDragger::~SoDragPointDragger (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

   SoType SoDragPointDragger::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
       Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This
       is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting. Usage example:

       void foo(SoNode * node)
       {
         if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
           SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
         }
       }

       For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines,
       nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This
       is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which
       is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance
       Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes),
       Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

       For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the
       toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

       Reimplemented from SoDragger.

   const SoFieldData * SoDragPointDragger::getFieldData (void) const [protected],  [virtual]
       Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no
       fields are present, returns NULL.

       Reimplemented from SoDragger.

   const SoNodekitCatalog * SoDragPointDragger::getNodekitCatalog (void) const [virtual]
       Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit.

       Reimplemented from SoDragger.

   void SoDragPointDragger::setJumpLimit (const floatlimit)
       The dragger plane jump limit is ignored in Coin, as we use a continuous moving plane.

       This method still included for API compatibility with the original SGI Inventor API.

   float SoDragPointDragger::getJumpLimit (void) const
       The dragger plane jump limit is ignored in Coin, as we use a continuous moving plane.

       This method still included for API compatibility with the original SGI Inventor API.

   void SoDragPointDragger::showNextDraggerSet (void)
       Circulate the dragger's three different sets of geometry, to circulate the orientation of
       the translation axis and translation plane through the three principal axes.

       This function is triggered when the user taps the CTRL key.

   SbBool SoDragPointDragger::setUpConnections (SbBoolonoff, SbBooldoitalways = FALSE)
       [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 SoDragPointDragger::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.

Member Data Documentation

   SoSFVec3f SoDragPointDragger::translation
       Continuously updated to contain the current translation from the dragger's local origo
       position.
       The application programmer applying this dragger in his code should connect the relevant
       node fields in the scene to this field to make it follow the dragger.
   SoFieldSensor * SoDragPointDragger::fieldSensor [protected]
       This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of
       interest to the application programmer.
