DESCRIPTION

       SoTranslate2Dragger is a simple dragger that translates in  two  dimensions  when  dragged
       with  the  mouse.  It  moves  within  the  x-y plane of its local space, determined by its
       location in the scene graph. Transformation nodes placed before it will  affect  both  the
       dragger and the direction of motion.

       Pressing  the  <Shift>  key  allows  you to constrain motion to either the x axis or the y
       axis. The direction is determined by your initial mouse gesture after  pressing  the  key.
       Releasing the key removes the constraint.

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

       This  dragger  contains six parts, translator, translatorActive, feedback, feedbackActive,
       xAxisFeedback, and yAxisFeedback. The last two parts are only displayed during motion, and
       only  when  their  direction  of  motion  is  enabled.  (Pressing the <Shift> key and then
       dragging disables one of the two directions.)

       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/translate2Dragger.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           translation
          Position of the dragger.

METHODS

                         SoTranslate2Dragger()
          Constructor.

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

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