Purpose

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.
