DESCRIPTION

       This node defines a geometric 3D transformation with a single  SbMatrix.  Note  that  some
       matrices  (such  as  singular  ones)  may result in errors in bounding boxes, picking, and
       lighting.

FIELDS

     SoSFMatrix          matrix
          Transformation matrix.

METHODS

                         SoMatrixTransform()
          Creates a matrix transformation node with default settings.

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

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoRayPickAction
          Concatenates matrix given in the matrix field with the current transformation matrix.

     SoGetMatrixAction
          Returns transformation matrix specified in the matrix field.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
