DESCRIPTION
     This node represents a cuboid aligned with the coordinate axes. By
     default, the cube is centered at (0,0,0) and measures 2 units in each
     dimension, from -1 to +1. The cube is transformed by the current
     cumulative transformation and is drawn with the current lighting model,
     drawing style, material, and geometric complexity.

     If the current material binding is PER_PART, PER_PART_INDEXED, PER_FACE,
     or PER_FACE_INDEXED, materials will be bound to the faces of the cube in
     this order: front, back, left, right, top, and bottom.

     Textures are applied individually to each face of the cube; the entire
     texture goes on each face. On the front, back, right, and left sides of
     the cube, the texture is applied right side up. On the top, the texture
     appears right side up when the top of the cube is tilted toward the
     camera. On the bottom, the texture appears right side up when the top of
     the cube is tilted away from the camera.

FIELDS
     SoSFFloat           width
     SoSFFloat           height
     SoSFFloat           depth
          Sizes in the x, y, and z dimensions, respectively.


METHODS
                         SoCube()
          Creates a cube node with default settings.

     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.


ACTION BEHAVIOR
     SoGLRenderAction
          Draws cube based on the current coordinates, materials, drawing
          style, and so on.

     SoRayPickAction
          Intersects the ray with the cube. The face of the cube that was
          picked is available from the SoCubeDetail.

     SoGetBoundingBoxAction
          Computes the bounding box that encloses the cube.

     SoCallbackAction
          If any triangle callbacks are registered with the action, they will
          be invoked for each successive triangle that approximates the cube.

     Cube {
          width   2
          height  2
