DESCRIPTION

       SoRotateDiscDragger is a simple dragger that rotates about the z axis of its local  space.
       The  feel  of  the rotation is as if you were spinning a record on a turntable or rotating
       the volume knob of a radio. The local space is determined by its  location  in  the  scene
       graph.  Transformation  nodes  placed  before  it  will  affect  both  the dragger and the
       direction of motion.

       This node has a rotation field which always reflects its orientation in  local  space.  If
       you  set  the  field,  the dragger will rotate accordingly. You can also connect fields of
       other nodes or engines from this one to make them follow the dragger's rotation.

       This dragger contains four parts, rotator, rotatorActive, feedback, and feedbackActive.

       Each of these is set by default from a resource described in the Dragger Resources section
       of  the  online reference page for this class. You can change the parts in any instance of
       this dragger using setPart().

       You can make your program use different default resources for the  parts  by  copying  the
       file /usr/share/data/draggerDefaults/rotateDiscDragger.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.

METHODS

                         SoRotateDiscDragger()
          Constructor.

     static const SoNodekitCatalog *
                         getClassNodekitCatalog() const
          Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.
