NAME

       SoRotor -

       The SoRotor class is a node used to animate rotations.

       Insert this node in your hierarchy to apply a continuous rotation to
       some geometry. Since this node inherits the SoRotation node, rotation
       is restricted around the axis specified in the rotation field.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/nodes/SoRotor.h>

Detailed Description

       The SoRotor class is a node used to animate rotations.

       Insert this node in your hierarchy to apply a continuous rotation to
       some geometry. Since this node inherits the SoRotation node, rotation
       is restricted around the axis specified in the rotation field.

       The angle value of the SoRotation::rotation field (inherited by this
       node) gives the rotation direction. If the value is larger than 0.0,
       the rotation will be done in the counterclockwise direction, if it is
       negative the rotation will be done in the clockwise direction.

       Do not set the rotation value to exactly 0.0, as rotations are
       internally handled as quaternions, and when converting from an angle
       and a rotation value to a quaternion representation, the information
       about the angle ’gets lost’ if there is no actual rotation.

       Note also that the rotation will start at the given angle value.

       FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

           Rotor {
               rotation 0 0 1  0
               speed 1
               on TRUE
           }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoRotor::SoRotor (void) Constructor.
   SoRotor::~SoRotor () [protected, virtual] Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   void SoRotor::initClass (void) [static] Sets up initialization for data
       common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary
       information to the Coin type system.
       Reimplemented from SoRotation.

Member Data Documentation

   SoSFFloat SoRotor::speed Specifies the speed of rotation, in revolutions
       per second. Defaults to 1.0.
   SoSFBool SoRotor::on Enable/disable rotation. Default enabled.
