DESCRIPTION
SoTabBoxDragger is a composite dragger shaped like a box. Inside it are six
SoTabPlaneDraggers which the dragger positions and orients to form a cube. The operations
available in an SoTabPlaneDragger (translation, 1D scaling and 2D scaling) are available
on each face of the cube. Since they each move in their local space, the dragger may be
easily translated or scaled in any direction.
As a composite dragger, this class makes sure that when one plane is dragged, the entire
box moves together.
As each sub-dragger is moved, the SoTabBoxDragger updates its scaleFactor and translation
fields. As with all draggers, if you change a field 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 SoTabBoxManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates one of these
draggers and uses it as the interface to change its fields. (see the SoTabBoxManip 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 SoTabBoxDragger class. They are detailed
below 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/tabBoxDragger.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
SoSFVec3f scaleFactor
Scale of the dragger.
SoSFVec3f translation
Position of the dragger.
METHODS
SoTabBoxDragger()
Constructor.
void adjustScaleTabSize()
Cause the scale tab sizes to be re-adjusted on all 6 SoTabPlaneDraggers so that they
remain a near constant screen space size. This happens automatically upon dragger
finish. Call this to adjust the scale tab sizes at other times, for instance after the
camera has changed in a viewer finish callback.
static const SoNodekitCatalog *
getClassNodekitCatalog() const
Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.
