DESCRIPTION
     This engine has inputs that specify values for translation, rotation,
     scale, and center of transformation. As output, it produces a
     transformation matrix that transforms objects into the space specified by
     the scale, rotation, and translation inputs (in that order).

     The input fields can have multiple values, allowing the engine to compose
     several matrices in parallel. Some inputs may have more values than
     others. In such cases, the last value of the shorter inputs will be
     repeated as necessary.

INPUTS
     SoMFVec3f           translation
          Translation in x, y, and z.

     SoMFRotation        rotation
          Rotation.

     SoMFVec3f           scaleFactor
          Scale factors in x, y, and z.

     SoMFRotation        scaleOrientation
          Rotational space for scaling.

     SoMFVec3f           center
          Center point for scaling and rotating.


OUTPUTS
     (SoMFMatrix)        matrix
          Transformation matrix that transforms from object space into the
          space specified by the inputs.
