## DESCRIPTION

**This class is used as a base class for all editors which use Motif sliders to edit fields in an Inventor scene graph node. This class is not meant to be instanced by programmers who want to use an editor** **in a program. It should only be used as a base class when designing new editors.**

**SoXtSliderSetBase** is derived from **SoXtComponent**, but adds three concepts. First, there is a node to edit. Second, there are subcomponents. When an **SoXtSliderSetBase** is shown or hidden, so are its subcomponents. (As an example, an **SoXtTransformSliderSet** is composed of many subcomponents). Third, an **SoXtSliderSetBase** has a layout size, which is used to lay out the subcomponents.

## METHODS

**virtual void**	**setNode(SoNode \*newNode)**\
 Sets a new node as the node to be modified by this editor component.

**SoNode \***	**getNode() const**\
 Returns a pointer to the node currently being modified by this editor component.
