DESCRIPTION

The SoShuttle class is derived from SoTranslation, so it applies a translation to the current transformation. Using engines connected to the realTime global field, the translation value is animated over time between two fixed translations, achieving a shuttling effect. The period of the motion can be adjusted by changing the speed field. The current translation at any time is available in the translation field, inherited from SoTranslation

FIELDS

SoSFVec3f translation0

SoSFVec3f translation1

These define the two fixed translations that are interpolated to create the shuttling motion.

SoSFFloat speed

Defines the speed of the shuttle, in cycles per second.

SoSFBool on

Allows applications to enable or disable the motion easily.

METHODS

SoShuttle()

Creates a shuttle node with default settings.

static SoType getClassTypeId()

Returns type identifier for this class.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction, SoRayPickAction

Concatenates interpolated translation value with the current transformation matrix.

SoGetMatrixAction

Returns transformation matrix specified by the interpolated translation.
