🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so SoJackManip is derived from SoTransform (by way of SoTransformManip, the scenic route 💫). when its fields change, the nodes following it in the scene graph rotate, scale, and/or translate. main character behavior, honestly.

as a subclass of SoTransformManip, this manip also has a 3D interface to edit some of its fields. in this case, the interface edits the scaleFactor, rotation and translation fields. periodt.

now, a manipulator differs from a dragger, and this is the part where people get confused so listen up bestie 👂 — when you move a dragger, no other nodes are affected. when you move an SoTransformManip, other nodes move along with it. (See the reference page for SoTransformManip).

the interface for an SoJackManip is exactly the same as that of the SoJackDragger. to find out more about the interface, see the reference page for SoJackDragger. to find out how the manipulator uses a dragger to provide its interface, see the reference page for SoTransformManip. (yes, we're sending you on a lil reading journey, it's fine, it's iconic 📚✨)

on screen, this manip will surround the objects influenced by its motion. why? because it turns on the surroundScale part of the dragger (See the reference page for SoSurroundScale). it's literally wrapping your objects in a lil hug, no cap 🫶

🔥 METHODS 🔥

• SoJackManip() — the constructor. she's born 💖
• static SoType getClassTypeId() — returns the type identifier for this class. it's the "who am i" of the class, and she always knows 🪞

🌈 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS 🌈

the defaults, untouched, unbothered, exactly as written:

JackManip {
    translation       0 0 0
    rotation          0 0 1  0
    scaleFactor       1 1 1
    scaleOrientation  0 0 1  0
    center            0 0 0
}

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🎀✨ this was SoJackManip(3IV), the source/version stamp says SoJackManip(3IV) and the date field is just... sitting there empty as (), which is honestly so real of it. anyway ily, go manipulate some transforms responsibly, mwah 💜🦋🌸
