## Detailed Description

The **SoTexture3Transform** class is used to define 3D texture transformations.

Textures applied to shapes in the scene can be transformed by "prefixing" in the state with instances of this node type. Translations, rotations and scaling in 3D can all be done.

The default settings of this node's fields equals a "nulltransform", i.e. no transformation.

Be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.\
\
  **FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:**

```
Texture3Transform {
    translation 0 0 0
    rotation 0 0 1  0
    scaleFactor 1 1 1
    scaleOrientation 0 0 1  0
    center 0 0 0
}
```

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### SoTexture3Transform::SoTexture3Transform (void )

Constructor.

### SoTexture3Transform::~SoTexture3Transform () \[protected\], \[virtual\]

Destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

### SoType SoTexture3Transform::getClassTypeId (void ) \[static\]

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

### SoType SoTexture3Transform::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.

Implements **SoBase**.

### const SoFieldData \*\* SoTexture3Transform::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 \* SoTexture3Transform::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 **SoFieldContainer**.

### void SoTexture3Transform::doAction (SoAction \* action) \[virtual\]

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from **SoNode**.

### void SoTexture3Transform::callback (SoCallbackAction \* action) \[virtual\]

Action method for **SoCallbackAction**.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the **SoCallbackAction** for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from **SoNode**.

### void SoTexture3Transform::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction \* action) \[virtual\]

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 **SoNode**.

### void SoTexture3Transform::getMatrix (SoGetMatrixAction \* action) \[virtual\]

Action method for **SoGetMatrixAction**.

Updates *action* by accumulating with the transformation matrix of this node (if any).

Reimplemented from **SoNode**.

### void SoTexture3Transform::pick (SoPickAction \* action) \[virtual\]

Action method for **SoPickAction**.

Does common processing for **SoPickAction** *action* instances.

Reimplemented from **SoNode**.

## Member Data Documentation

### SoSFVec3f SoTexture3Transform::translation

Texture coordinate translation. Default value is \[0, 0, 0\].

### SoSFRotation SoTexture3Transform::rotation

Texture coordinate rotation (s is X-axis, t is Y-axis and r is Z-axis). Defaults to an identity rotation (i.e. zero rotation).

### SoSFVec3f SoTexture3Transform::scaleFactor

Texture coordinate scale factors. Default value is \[1, 1, 1\].

### SoSFRotation SoTexture3Transform::scaleOrientation

The orientation the texture is set to before scaling. Defaults to an identity rotation (i.e. zero rotation).

### SoSFVec3f SoTexture3Transform::center

Center for scale and rotation. Default value is \[0, 0, 0\].
