Description
SoJackDragger is a composite dragger in the shape of a jack from the children's game jacks. Three lines
along the x, y, and z axes form the central star shape, which you can drag with the mouse to rotate the
jack. Dragging any of the small cubes mounted at the end of the axes will scale the jack uniformly in
all 3 dimensions. At the core of the jack is an SoDragPointDragger for translating the jack.
Each of these shapes is a different dragger with the default geometry changed. All of them are parts of
the jack dragger, which keeps them moving together. The star is an SoRotateSphericalDragger, and dragging
it updates the rotation field of the jack dragger. The small cubes are an SoScaleUniformDragger, tied to
the scaleFactor field. The position of the SoDragPointDragger is given by the translation field. As with
all draggers, if you change the fields 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 SoJackManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates one of these draggers and uses
it as the interface to change its fields. (see the SoJackManip 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 SoJackDragger class. They are detailed 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/jackDragger.iv into your own directory,
editing the file, and then setting the environment variable SO_DRAGGER_DIR to be a path to that
directory.
