Detailed Description
The SoVRMLTransform class is a grouping node that defines a transformation for its
children.

The Transform node is a grouping node that defines a coordinate system for its children
that is relative to the coordinate systems of its ancestors. See 4.4.4, Transformation
hierarchy (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-
IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.4.4), and 4.4.5, Standard units and coordinate
system (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-
IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.4.5), for a description of coordinate systems and
transformations.
4.6.5, Grouping and children nodes (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-
IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.5), provides a description of the children,
addChildren, and removeChildren fields and eventIns.
The bboxCenter and bboxSize fields specify a bounding box that encloses the children of
the Transform node. This is a hint that may be used for optimization purposes. The results
are undefined if the specified bounding box is smaller than the actual bounding box of the
children at any time. A default bboxSize value, (-1, -1, -1), implies that the bounding
box is not specified and, if needed, shall be calculated by the browser. The bounding box
shall be large enough at all times to enclose the union of the group's children's bounding
boxes; it shall not include any transformations performed by the group itself (i.e., the
bounding box is defined in the local coordinate system of the children). The results are
undefined if the specified bounding box is smaller than the true bounding box of the
group. A description of the bboxCenter and bboxSize fields is provided in 4.6.4, Bounding
boxes (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/vrml/ISO-
IEC-14772-VRML97/part1/concepts.html#4.6.4).
The translation, rotation, scale, scaleOrientation and center fields define a geometric 3D
transformation consisting of (in order):
• a (possibly) non-uniform scale about an arbitrary point;
• a rotation about an arbitrary point and axis;
• a translation.
The center field specifies a translation offset from the origin of the local coordinate
system (0,0,0). The rotation field specifies a rotation of the coordinate system. The
scale field specifies a non-uniform scale of the coordinate system. scale values shall be
greater than zero. The scaleOrientation specifies a rotation of the coordinate system
before the scale (to specify scales in arbitrary orientations). The scaleOrientation
applies only to the scale operation. The translation field specifies a translation to the
coordinate system.
Given a 3-dimensional point P and Transform node, P is transformed into point P' in its
parent's coordinate system by a series of intermediate transformations. In matrix
transformation notation, where C (center), SR (scaleOrientation), T (translation), R
(rotation), and S (scale) are the equivalent transformation matrices,
P' = T × C × R × SR × S × -SR × -C × P
The following Transform node:
Transform {
center C
rotation R
scale S
scaleOrientation SR
translation T
children [...]
}
is equivalent to the nested sequence of:
Transform {
translation T
children Transform {
translation C
children Transform {
rotation R
children Transform {
rotation SR
children Transform {
scale S
children Transform {
rotation -SR
children Transform {
translation -C
children [...]
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

Member Function Documentation
SoType SoVRMLTransform::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This
is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting. Usage example:
void foo(SoNode * node)
{
if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node; // safe downward cast, knows the type
}
}
For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines,
nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This
is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which
is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance
Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes),
Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.
For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the
toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

const SoFieldData * SoVRMLTransform::getFieldData (void) const [protected], [virtual]
Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no
fields are present, returns NULL.

void SoVRMLTransform::pointAt (const SbVec3f &from, const SbVec3f &to)
Sets the transformation to translate to frompoint, with a rotation so that the (0,0,-1)
vector is rotated into the vector from frompoint to topoint.

void SoVRMLTransform::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction *action) [virtual]
Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.
