DESCRIPTION
SoHandleBoxDragger is a dragger shaped like a wireframe box with small corner cubes
mounted on each corner. Click and drag any of these cubes to scale the box uniformly. Six
other center cubes are centered on the sides of the box; white lines connect them to the
center of the dragger. Drag one of the center cubes along its line to stretch the box in
that direction. Dragging a face of the box translates the dragger within that plane.
While you drag a face of the box, purple feedback arrows display the possible directions
of motion. Press the <Shift> key to constrain the motion to one of the two major
directions in the plane. The constraint direction is chosen based on the next user
gesture. Press the <Control> key and the dragger will translate perpendicular to that
plane. The translation field is modified as the face is dragged.
By default, dragging any of the small cubes scales about the center of the object.
Pressing the <Control> key changes this: A corner cube will scale about its opposite
corner. A center cube will scale about the center of its opposite face. Dragging one of
the small cubes will usually result in changes to both the scaleFactor and translation
fields. This is because any scale about a point other than the origin has a translation
element.
As with all draggers, if you change the fields 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 SoHandleBoxManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates one of these
draggers and uses it as the interface to change its fields. (see the SoHandleBoxManip
reference 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 SoHandleBoxDragger class. They are detailed
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/handleBoxDragger.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
SoHandleBoxDragger()
Constructor.
static const SoNodekitCatalog *
getClassNodekitCatalog() const
Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.

NOTE
Unlike most multi-function draggers, SoHandleBoxDragger is not a compound dragger made up
of other draggers that perform its smaller tasks. This is not because it was
inappropriate, but because was written before implementation of the methods that
synchronize multiple child draggers. The younger SoTransformBoxDragger has similarities to
the handle box dragger, but the transform box dragger is a compound dragger.
