SoRotor — animated rotation node

Action Behavior

SoGLRenderAction,SoCallbackAction,SoGetBoundingBoxAction,SoRayPickAction
          Concatenates current rotation value with the current transformation matrix.

     SoGetMatrixAction
          Returns transformation matrix specified by the rotation.

Description

       The  SoRotor  class  is  derived from SoRotation, so it applies a rotation to the current transformation.
       Using engines connected to the realTime global field, the rotation value is animated over time, achieving
       a spinning effect.  The period of the rotation can be adjusted by changing the speed field.

       The current rotation at any time is available in the rotation  field,  inherited  from  SoRotation.  This
       field can also be set to specify the axis of rotation.  Note that unless a non-zero rotation is specified
       for the rotation, the node will not know which axis to use. For example, to set a rotor to spin about the
       y-axis, use the following:
          rotor->rotation.setValue(axis,0.1);
     where axis is a vector containing (0,1,0). Any non-zero angle can be used in this code.

Fields

SoSFFloatspeed
          Defines the speed of the rotor, in revolutions per second.

     SoSFBoolon
          Allows applications to enable or disable the motion easily.
