## Detailed Description

The **SoTabPlaneDragger** class is a dragger you can translate and scale within a plane.

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

For translation, click anywhere inside the dragger's plane and move it about in 2D.

For non-uniform scaling operations, click and drag any of the 4 side tabs. For uniform scaling, click and drag any of the 4 corner tabs.

**SoTabBoxDragger**

### SoTabPlaneDragger::~SoTabPlaneDragger (void ) \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Protected destructor.

(Dragger classes are derived from **SoBase**, so they are reference counted and automatically destroyed when their reference count goes to 0.)

## Member Function Documentation

### SoType SoTabPlaneDragger::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\]

This static method returns the **SoType** object associated with objects of this class.

### SoType SoTabPlaneDragger::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 **SoDragger**.

### const SoFieldData \*\* SoTabPlaneDragger::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 \* SoTabPlaneDragger::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 **SoDragger**.

### const SoNodekitCatalog \* SoTabPlaneDragger::getClassNodekitCatalog (void ) \[static\]

Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit.

### const SoNodekitCatalog \* SoTabPlaneDragger::getNodekitCatalog (void ) const \[virtual\]

Returns the nodekit catalog which defines the layout of this class' kit.

Reimplemented from **SoDragger**.

### const SoNodekitCatalog \*\* SoTabPlaneDragger::getClassNodekitCatalogPtr (void ) \[static\], \[protected\]

Returns the pointer to the pointer of the nodekit catalog for this class.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::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()**.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::adjustScaleTabSize (void )

Signals the dragger to recalculate the size of its tabs. This method is not doing anything useful in Coin, since the tab sizes are recalculated every time the dragger is rendered, even though this method has not been called.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction \* action) \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Action method for the **SoGLRenderAction**.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method.

Reimplemented from **SoDragger**.

### SbBool SoTabPlaneDragger::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 SoTabPlaneDragger::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 scene graph 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 is 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.

Reimplemented from **SoDragger**.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::reallyAdjustScaleTabSize (SoGLRenderAction \* action) \[protected\]

Recalculates the size of the tabs, based on the current view volume, the current viewport, the current model matrix and the current scale factor. If *action* == *NULL*, a default size will be used.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::getXYScreenLengths (SbVec2f & lengths, const SbMatrix & localtoscreen, const SbVec2s & winsize) \[protected\]

Not implemented.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::dragStart (void ) \[protected\]

*This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\

Called when dragger is selected (picked) by the user.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::drag (void ) \[protected\]

*This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\

Called when user drags the mouse after picking the dragger.

### void SoTabPlaneDragger::dragFinish (void ) \[protected\]

*This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.*\

Called when mouse button is released after picking and interacting with the dragger.

## Member Data Documentation

### SoSFVec3f SoTabPlaneDragger::translation

Continuously updated to contain the current translation from the dragger's local origo position.

### SoSFVec3f SoTabPlaneDragger::scaleFactor

Continuously updated to contain the current vector of scaling along the X, Y and Z axes. The Z component will always be 1.0.
