## DESCRIPTION

**SoWrapperKit** is derived from **SoSeparatorKit**. It adds the capability to wrap an arbitrary scene graph, (non-nodekit), within an **SoSeparatorKit**, so that it may be used along with other shape kits in a hierarchy. There are two additional parts included in **SoWrapperKit**: *localTransform* and *contents*.

The part *contents* is an **SoSeparator** node beneath which any arbitrary scene graph can be added. This is especially useful for importing scene graphs of unknown structure (non-nodekits) into nodekit format.

Since an **SoWrapperKit** is a class descended from **SoSeparatorKit**, it may be put into another **SoSeparatorKit**'s *childList*.

## PARTS

**(SoTransform)**	**localTransform**\
 This part is an **SoTransform** node that is used to affect the scene graph defined in *contents* part. This part is **NULL** by default and is automatically created if requested.

**(SoSeparator)**	**contents**\
 This part is an **SoSeparator** node that contains a user-supplied scene graph. This scene graph can contain any nodes. This part is **NULL** by default and an **SoSeparator** is automatically created if the user asks the nodekit to build the part.

## METHODS

	**SoWrapperKit()**\
 Constructor.

**static const SoNodekitCatalog \***\
 	**getClassNodekitCatalog() const**\
 Returns an **SoNodekitCatalog** for the class **SoWrapperKit**.

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