Detailed Description

VSG extension Defines a 2D transformation.

The SoVRMLTextureTransform node defines a 2D transformation that is applied to texture coordinates (see SoVRMLTextureCoordinate). This node affects the way textures are applied to the surface of geometry. The transformation consists of (in order) a non-uniform scale about an arbitrary center point, a rotation about the center point, and a translation. This allows for changes to the size, orientation, and position of textures on shapes. Note that these changes appear reversed when viewed in the surface of geometry. For example, a scale value of 2 2 will scale the texture coordinates and have the net effect of shrinking the texture size by a factor of 2 (texture coordinates are twice as large and thus cause the texture to repeat). A translation of 0.5 0.0 translates the texture coordinates +.5 units along the S-axis and has the net effect of translating the texture -0.5 along the S-axis on the geometry's surface. A rotation of pi/2 of the texture coordinates results in a - pi/2 rotation of the texture on the geometry.

Note: The VRML97 specification indicates that transformations should be performed in the order translate, rotate, and scale. Open Inventor performs the transformations in the order scale, rotate, translate.

NOTE: This class does not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later.
