NAME

       SoInteraction -

       The SoInteraction class takes care of initalizing internal classes.

       SoInteraction is present for the sole purpose of providing an interface to the initialization methods of the classes in Coin which are
       somehow related to user interaction, like the draggers and manipulators.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/SoInteraction.h>

   Static Public Member Functions
       static void init (void)

Detailed Description
       The SoInteraction class takes care of initalizing internal classes.

       SoInteraction is present for the sole purpose of providing an interface to the initialization methods of the classes in Coin which are
       somehow related to user interaction, like the draggers and manipulators.

       It is unlikely that the application programmer should need to worry about this class, as SoInteraction::init() is called by the GUI
       specific initialization methods.

Member Function Documentation
   void SoInteraction::init (void) [static]
       Calls the initClass() method of these classes: SoAntiSquish, SoSelection, SoExtSelection, SoSurroundScale, SoInteractionKit, SoDragger,
       SoClipPlaneManip, SoDirectionalLightManip, SoPointLightManip, SoSpotLightManip, SoTransformManip, SoCenterballManip, SoHandleBoxManip,
       SoJackManip, SoTabBoxManip, SoTrackballManip, SoTransformBoxManip, SoTransformerManip.

       Note that this method calls SoDB::init() and SoNodeKit::init() to make sure all classes that the interaction functionality depends on have
       been initialized.

       Application programmers should usually not have to invoke this method directly from application code, as it is indirectly called from the
       GUI-binding libraries' init()-functions. Only if you are using your own GUI-binding (and not one of Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies SoQt,
       SoGtk, SoXt, SoWin, Sc21 etc. libraries) do you have to explicitly call SoInteraction::init().

	 int main(int argc, char ** argv )
	 {
	   // SoQt::init() calls SoDB::init(), SoNodeKit::init() and
	   // SoInteraction::init().
	   QWidget * window = SoQt::init( argv[0] );

	   SoSeparator * root = make_scenegraph();
	   root->ref();
	   /// [... etc ...] ///

NAME

       Manipulator Classes -

   Classes
       class SoCenterballManip
	   The SoCenterballManip wraps an SoCenterballDragger for convenience.

	"
   class SoClipPlaneManip
       The SoClipPlaneManip class is used to manipulate clip planes.

	"
   class SoDirectionalLightManip
       The SoDirectionalLightManip class is used to manipulate SoDirectionalLight nodes.

	"
   class SoHandleBoxManip
       The SoHandleBoxManip class wraps an SoHandleBoxDragger for manipulating a transformation.

	"
   class SoJackManip
       The SoJackManip wraps an SoJackDragger for convenience.

	"
   class SoPointLightManip
       The SoPointLightManip class is used to manipulate point light nodes.

	"
   class SoSpotLightManip
       The SoSpotLightManip class is used to manipulate spot light nodes.

	"
   class SoTabBoxManip
       The SoTabBoxManip class wraps an SoTabBoxDragger.

	"
   class SoTrackballManip
       The SoTrackballManip wraps an SoTrackballDragger for convenience.

	"
   class SoTransformBoxManip
       The SoTransformBoxManip wraps an SoTransformBoxDragger for convenience.

	"
   class SoTransformManip
       The SoTransformManip class is used to manipulate transformations.

       A manipulator is used by replacing the node you want to edit in the graph with the manipulator. Draggers are used to to manipulate the
       node. When manipulation is finished, the node is put back into the graph, replacing the manipulator. "
   class SoTransformerManip
       The SoTransformerManip wraps an SoTransformerDragger for convenience.

	"

Detailed Description
       Manipulators are objects you can swap back and forth into a scene graph at locations where you have an SoTransform node. They take the
       place of the SoTransform, continue to act like the SoTransform, but in addition give the user a 3D user interface, using draggers, for
       controlling the transform. When the user is done manipulating, the manipulator can swap itself back out, replacing itself with an
       SoTransform that represent the new transform value.

       Manipulators is one of the concepts that really made Open Inventor stand out against the alternatives when it came out.
