Purpose

SoRotateDiscDragger is a simple dragger that rotates about the z axis of its local space. The feel of the rotation is as if you were spinning a record on a turntable or rotating the volume knob of a radio. The local space is determined by its location in the scene graph. Transformation nodes placed before it will affect both the dragger and the direction of motion.

This node has a Rotation field which always reflects its orientation in local space. If you set the field, the dragger will rotate accordingly. You can also connect fields of other nodes or engines from this one to make them follow the dragger’s rotation.
