DESCRIPTION

       SoCenterballManip  is  derived  from  SoTransform  (by  way of SoTransformManip). When its
       fields change, nodes following it in the scene graph rotate, scale, and/or translate.

       As a subclass of SoTransformManip, this manipulator also has a 3D interface to  edit  some
       of its fields. In this case, the interface edits the rotation and center fields.

       A  manipulator  differs  from  a  dragger.  When  you  move  a dragger, no other nodes are
       affected. When you move an SoTransformManip, other nodes move  along  with  it.  (See  the
       reference page for SoTransformManip.)

       The   interface   for   an   SoCenterballManip   is  exactly  the  same  as  that  of  the
       SoCenterballDragger. To find out more about the interface,  see  the  reference  page  for
       SoCenterballDragger.  To  find  out  how  the  manipulator  uses  a dragger to provide its
       interface, see the reference page for SoTransformManip.

       On screen, this manipulator will surround the objects influenced by its  motion.  This  is
       because  it  turns  on the surroundScale part of the dragger.  (See the reference page for
       SoSurroundScale.)
