DESCRIPTION¶

SoTabBoxDragger is a composite dragger shaped like a box. Inside it are six SoTabPlaneDraggers which the dragger positions and orients to form a cube. The operations available in an SoTabPlaneDragger (translation, 1D scaling and 2D scaling) are available on each face of the cube. Since they each move in their local space, the dragger may be easily translated or scaled in any direction.

As a composite dragger, this class makes sure that when one plane is dragged, the entire box moves together.

As each sub-dragger is moved, the SoTabBoxDragger updates its scaleFactor and translation fields. As with all draggers, if you change a field 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 SoTabBoxManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates one of these draggers and uses it as the interface to change its fields. (see the SoTabBoxManip 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 SoTabBoxDragger class. They are detailed below 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/tabBoxDragger.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¶

SoTabBoxDragger()

Constructor.

void adjustScaleTabSize()

Cause the scale tab sizes to be re-adjusted on all 6 SoTabPlaneDraggers so that they remain a near constant screen space size. This happens automatically upon dragger finish. Call this to adjust the scale tab sizes at other times, for instance after the camera has changed in a viewer finish callback.

static const SoNodekitCatalog * getClassNodekitCatalog() const

Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for this class

static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.
