DESCRIPTION
SoJackDragger is a composite dragger in the shape of a jack from the children's game
jacks. Three lines along the x, y, and z axes form the central star shape, which you can
drag with the mouse to rotate the jack. Dragging any of the small cubes mounted at the
end of the axes will scale the jack uniformly in all 3 dimensions. At the core of the jack
is an SoDragPointDragger for translating the jack.
Each of these shapes is a different dragger with the default geometry changed. All of them
are parts of the jack dragger, which keeps them moving together. The star is an
SoRotateSphericalDragger, and dragging it updates the rotation field of the jack dragger.
The small cubes are an SoScaleUniformDragger, tied to the scaleFactor field. The position
of the SoDragPointDragger is given by the translation field. 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 SoJackManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates one of these
draggers and uses it as the interface to change its fields. (see the SoJackManip man
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 SoJackDragger 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/jackDragger.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
SoSFRotation rotation
Orientation of the dragger.
SoSFVec3f scaleFactor
Scale of the dragger.
SoSFVec3f translation
Position of the dragger.
METHODS
SoJackDragger()
Constructor.
static const SoNodekitCatalog *
getClassNodekitCatalog() const
Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class
static SoType getClassTypeId()
Returns type identifier for this class.
