DESCRIPTION

       This engine has two inputs, representing an axis of  rotation  and  a  rotation  angle  in
       radians. As output, the engine composes the inputs into a rotation field.

       The  input  fields  can  have  multiple  values,  allowing  the  engine to compose several
       rotations in parallel. Some inputs may have more values than others. In  such  cases,  the
       last value of the shorter inputs will be repeated as necessary.

INPUTS

     SoMFVec3f           axis
          Axis of rotation.

     SoMFFloat           angle
          Angle of rotation.

OUTPUTS

     (SoMFRotation)      rotation
          Rotation field, defined by the inputs.

METHODS

                         SoComposeRotation()
          Constructor
