Purpose

SoHandleBoxManip is derived SoTransform (by way of SoTransformerManip). When its fields change, nodes following it in the scene graph rotate, scale, and/or translate.

As a subclass of SoTransformerManip, this manipulator also has a 3D interface to edit some of its fields. In this case, the interface edits the Scale Factor and Translation fields.

A manipulator differs from a dragger. When you move a dragger, no other nodes are affected. When you move an SoTransformerManip, other nodes move along with it.
