DESCRIPTION
     This node defines a 3D scaling about the origin. If the components of the
     scaling vector are not all the same, this produces a non-uniform scale.

FIELDS
     SoSFVec3f           scaleFactor
          The scaling factors in the x, y, and z dimensions. Non-positive
          values may cause undesirable results.


METHODS
                         SoScale()
          Creates a scale node with default settings.

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


ACTION BEHAVIOR
     SoGLRenderAction, SoCallbackAction, SoGetBoundingBoxAction,
     SoRayPickAction
          Accumulates scaling transformation into the current transformation.

     SoGetMatrixAction
          Returns the matrix corresponding to the scaling.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     Scale {
          scaleFactor  1 1 1
     }
