DESCRIPTION

       SoTabBoxManip  is  derived  from SoTransform (by way of SoTransformManip). When its fields
       change, nodes following it in the scene graph scale, and/or translate.

       As a subclass of SoTransformManip, this manip also has a 3D interface to edit some of  its
       fields.  In this case, the interface edits the scaleFactor and translation fields.

       A  manipulator  differs  from  a  dragger.  When  you  move  a dragger, no other nodes are
       affected. When you move an SoTransformManip, other nodes move  along  with  it.  (See  the
       reference page for SoTransformManip.)

       The  interface for an SoTabBoxManip is exactly the same as that of the SoTabBoxDragger. To
       find out more about the interface, see the reference page for SoTabBoxDragger. To find out
       how  the  manipulator  uses a dragger to provide its interface, see the reference page for
       SoTransformManip.

       On screen, this manip will surround the objects influenced by its motion. This is  because
       it  turns  on  the  surroundScale  part  of  the  dragger  (See  the  reference  page  for
       SoSurroundScale)
