## DESCRIPTION

**This node defines a 2D transformation applied to texture coordinates. This affects the way textures are applied to the surfaces of subsequent shapes. The transformation consists of (in order) a non-uniform** **scale about an arbitrary center point, a rotation about that same point, and a translation. (Note: while the transformations can be thought of as being applied in that order, the GL matrices are actually** **premultiplied in the opposite order. Therefore, the operations are listed in the reverse order throughout this reference page.) This allows a user to change the size and position of the textures on objects.**

## FIELDS

**SoSFVec2f**	**translation**\
 Translation in S and T.

**SoSFFloat**	**rotation**\
 Counter-clockwise rotation of the coordinate space, in radians. This results in a clockwise rotation of the texture on the object.

**SoSFVec2f**	**scaleFactor**\
 Scaling factors in S and T.

**SoSFVec2f**	**center**\
 Center point used for scaling and rotation.

## METHODS

	**SoTexture2Transform()**\
 Creates a texture transformation node with default settings.

**static SoType**	**getClassTypeId()**\
 Returns type identifier for this class.

## ACTION BEHAVIOR

**SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction**\
 Concatenates transformation with the current texture transformation.

## FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

```
Texture2Transform {
translation	0 0
rotation	0
scaleFactor	1 1
center	0 0
}
```
