manipulating a transformation. A manipulator is used by replacing the node you want to edit in the graph with the manipulator. Draggers are used to manipulate the node. When manipulation is finished, the node is put back into the graph, replacing the manipulator. **See also** **SoHandleBoxDragger**, **SoDragger** ## Constructor & Destructor Documentation ### SoHandleBoxManip::SoHandleBoxManip (void ) Constructor sets us up with an **SoHandleBoxDragger** for manipulating a transformation. ### SoHandleBoxManip::~SoHandleBoxManip (void ) \[protected\], \[virtual\] Protected destructor. (**SoHandleBoxManip** is automatically destructed when its reference count goes to 0.) ## Member Function Documentation ### SoType SoHandleBoxManip::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\] This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class. ### SoType SoHandleBoxManip::getTypeId (void ) const \[virtual\] Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting **SoBase**. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting. Reimplemented from **SoTransformManip**. ### const SoFieldData \*\* SoHandleBoxManip::getFieldDataPtr (void ) \[static\], \[protected\] *This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\ Returns the **SoFieldData** class which holds information about fields in this node. ### const SoFieldData \* SoHandleBoxManip::getFieldData (void ) const \[protected\], \[virtual\] Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL. Reimplemented from **SoTransformManip**. ## Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.
