DESCRIPTION
     SoJackDragger is a composite dragger in the shape of a jack from the
     children's game jacks. Three lines along the x, y, and z axes form the
     central star shape, which you can drag with the mouse to rotate the jack.
     Dragging any of the small cubes mounted at the end of the axes will scale
     the jack uniformly in all 3 dimensions. At the core of the jack is an
     SoDragPointDragger for translating the jack.

     Each of these shapes is a different dragger with the default geometry
     changed. All of them are parts of the jack dragger, which keeps them
     moving together. The star is an SoRotateSphericalDragger, and dragging it
     updates the rotation field of the jack dragger. The small cubes are an
     SoScaleUniformDragger, tied to the scaleFactor field. The position of the
     SoDragPointDragger is given by the translation field. As with all
     draggers, if you change the fields the dragger will move to match the new
     settings.

     Remember: This is not an SoTransform!. If you want to move other objects
     with this dragger, you can either:

     [a] Use an SoJackManip, which is subclassed from SoTransform. It creates
     one of these draggers and uses it as the interface to change its fields.
     (see the SoJackManip man page).
     [b] Use field-to-field connections to connect the fields of this dragger
     to those of any SoTransformation node.

     You can change the parts in any instance of this dragger using
     SoDraggerSetPart(). The default part geometries are defined as resources
     for this SoJackDragger class. They are detailed in the Dragger Resources
     section of the online reference page for this class. You can make your
     program use different default resources for the parts by copying the file
     /usr/share/data/draggerDefaults/jackDragger.iv into your own directory,
     editing the file, and then setting the environment variable
     SO_DRAGGER_DIR to be a path to that directory.

FIELDS
     SoSFRotation        rotation
          Orientation of the dragger.

     SoSFVec3f           scaleFactor
          Scale of the dragger.

     SoSFVec3f           translation
          Position of the dragger.
