Detailed Description

       The SoDragPointDragger class provides mechanisms for moving a point in
       3D.

       Here’s how the dragger looks with its default geometry in the inactive
       state:

       This dragger is convenient to use when it is desirable that the end-
       user should interact with points by positioning them freely in 3D
       space.

       The dragger consists of a part for 2D motion in a plane (like the
       SoTranslate2Dragger) and another part on the axis normal to the plane.

       While the dragger is inactive (ie the user is not currently grabbing
       and / or dragging it’s parts), the CTRL keys on the keyboard can be
       used to switch the orientation of the 2D-plane part and the normal-axis
       part so the normal-axis part points along one of the other principal
       axes. This is done by position the mouse pointer over the dragger
       geometry and pressing and releasing a CTRL key.

Member Function Documentation

   void SoDragPointDragger::initClass (void) [static] Initializes type system
       for this dragger class.
       Application programmers should usually not have to invoke this method,
       see documentation of SoInteraction::init().

       Reimplemented from SoDragger.

   void SoDragPointDragger::setJumpLimit (const float limit) The dragger plane
       jump limit is ignored in Coin, as we use a continuous moving plane.
       This method still included for API compatibility with the original SGI
       Inventor API.

   float SoDragPointDragger::getJumpLimit (void) const The dragger plane jump
       limit is ignored in Coin, as we use a continuous moving plane.
       This method still included for API compatibility with the original SGI
       Inventor API.

   void SoDragPointDragger::showNextDraggerSet (void) Circulate the draggers
       three different sets of geometry, to circulate the orientation of the
       translation axis and translation plane through the three principal
       axes.
       This function is triggered when the user taps the CTRL key.

   SbBool SoDragPointDragger::setUpConnections (SbBool onoff, SbBool
       doitalways = FALSE) [protected, virtual] Sets up all internal
       connections for instances of this class.
       (This method will usually not be of interest to the application
       programmer, unless you want to extend the library with new custom
       nodekits or dragger classes. If so, see the SoBaseKit class
       documentation.)

       Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.

   void SoDragPointDragger::setDefaultOnNonWritingFields (void) [protected,
       virtual] (Be aware that this method is unlikely to be of interest to
       the application programmer who does not want to extend the library with
       new custom nodekits or draggers. If you indeed are writing extensions,
       see the information in the SoBaseKit class documentation.)
       This is a virtual method, and the code in it should call
       SoField::setDefault() with argument TRUE on part fields that should not
       be written upon scenegraph export operations.

       This is typically done when:

       1.  field value is NULL and part is NULL by default

       2.  it is a leaf SoGroup or SoSeparator node with no children

       3.  it is a leaf listpart with no children and an SoGroup or
           SoSeparator container

       4.  it is a non-leaf part and it’s of SoGroup type and all fields are
           at their default values

       Subclasses should usually override this to do additional settings for
       new member fields. From the subclass, do remember to call ’upwards’ to
       your superclass’ setDefaultOnNonWritingFields() method.

       the dragger.

       is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
   void SoDragPointDragger::fieldSensorCB (void * d, SoSensor * s) [static,
       protected] This API member is considered internal to the library, as it
       is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
       Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.
   void SoDragPointDragger::valueChangedCB (void * f, SoDragger * d) [static,
       protected] This API member is considered internal to the library, as it
       is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Member Data Documentation

   SoSFVec3f SoDragPointDragger::translation Continuously updated to contain
       the current translation from the draggers local origo position.
       The application programmer applying this dragger in his code should
       connect the relevant node fields in the scene to this field to make it
       follow the dragger.
   SoFieldSensor * SoDragPointDragger::fieldSensor [protected] This API member
       is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of
       interest to the application programmer.
       Reimplemented from SoInteractionKit.
