DESCRIPTION

       This is the abstract base class for all nodes that perform geometric  transformations.  It
       exists  only  to  make  it  easy  for  applications to test whether a particular node is a
       transformation node (that is, is derived from this class).

METHODS

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

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

       This is an abstract class. See the reference page of a derived class for  the  format  and
       default values.
