Purpose

SoTabBoxManip is derived from SoTransform (via SoTransformerManip). When its fields change, nodes following it in the scene graph are scaled and/or translated.

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

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

On screen, this manipulator will surround the objects influenced by its motion.
