DESCRIPTION
     A nodekit that is used for creating nodekit hierarchies. SoSeparatorKit
     contains a transform part, a childList part, and a few others in its
     catalog. The transform part (an SoTransform node) affects all of the
     children in the childList. Each of these children must be an
     SoSeparatorKit or from a class that is derived from SoSeparatorKit (e.g.,
     SoShapeKit and SoWrapperKit). Since all members of the childList are in
     turn SoSeparatorKits, and each contains a transform, these nested lists
     allow you to create a hierarchy of motion, in which each transform
     affects an entire subgraph of nodekits.

     The other parts added to the catalog for the SoSeparatorKit are
     pickStyle, appearance, units and texture2Transform. Furthermore, since
     SoSeparator is derived from SoBaseKit, it inherits the callbackList part.
     This is a list of SoCallback and/or SoEventCallback nodes which enable
     the SoSeparatorKit to perform special callbacks whenever an action is
     applied to it.

     By creating the pickStyle part, a user can alter the pick style for the
     entire nodekit hierarchy. The appearance part is an SoAppearanceKit
     nodekit. Note that all parts contained in the SoAppearanceKit catalog can
     be accessed as if they were part of the SoSeparatorKit. For example:

          myMtl = mySepKit->getPart("material",TRUE)

       and

          mySepKit->setPart("material",myMtl)

       See SoBaseKit for further explanation.

FIELDS
     SoSFEnum            renderCaching
          Set render caching mode. Default is AUTO.

     SoSFEnum            boundingBoxCaching
          Set bounding box caching mode. Default is ON. Setting this value to
          AUTO is equivalent to ON - automatic culling is not implemented.

     SoSFEnum            renderCulling
          Set render culling mode. Default is OFF. Setting this value to AUTO
          is equivalent to ON - automatic culling is not implemented.

     SoSFEnum            pickCulling
          Set pick culling mode. Default is AUTO.


PARTS
     (SoPickStyle)          pickStyle
          An SoPickStyle property node that can be used to set the picking
          style of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created
          automatically if necessary.

     (SoAppearanceKit)      appearance
          An SoAppearanceKit nodekit which can be used to set the appearance
          properties of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is
          created automatically if necessary.
     (SoUnits)              units
          An SoUnits node which can be used to set the types of units, (e.g.,
          feet), of its children. This part is NULL by default, but is created
          automatically if necessary.

     (SoTransform)          transform
          An SoTransform node which can be used to set the overall position,
          orientation, and scale of its children. This part is NULL by
          default, but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoTexture2Transform)  texture2Transform
          An SoTexture2Transform node which can be used to apply a
          transformation to any textures used by its children. This part is
          NULL by default, but is created automatically if necessary.

     (SoNodeKitListPart)    childList
          This part contains the children nodekits of this SoSeparatorKit.
          This part is a list part and can have multiple children. This part
          is NULL by default, but is created automatically when the first
          child is added to the childList. Also, when asked to build a member
          of the childList, the separatorKit will build an SoShapeKit by
          default. So if the childList part is NULL, and you call:
          getPart("childList[0]", TRUE), the separator kit will create the
          childList and add an SoShapeKit as the new element in the list.


METHODS
                         SoSeparatorKit()
          Constructor.

     static const SoNodekitCatalog *
                         getClassNodekitCatalog() const
          Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for the class SoSeparatorKit.

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