DESCRIPTION
     This nodekit class is used to create camera nodes that have a local
     transformation. SoCameraKit adds two public parts to the basic nodekit:
     transform and camera.

     The camera part is created by default as an SoPerspectiveCamera node, but
     may later be changed to any subclass of SoCamera.

     You can move the camera relative to the rest of the scene by creating and
     editing the transform part.

     SoCameraKit also adds a private part, transformGroup, which is of type
     SoTransformSeparator. The kit uses this part to contain the effect of
     transform to move only the camera, while allowing the camera to affect
     the rest of the scene.

     SoCameraKit is derived from SoBaseKit and thus also includes a
     callbackList part for adding callback nodes.

PARTS
     (SoTransform)       transform
          A transform that positions and orients the camera relative to the
          rest of the scene. Private parts keep the effect of the transform
          part localized. This part is NULL by default, but may be set to any
          subclass of SoTransform

     (SoCamera)          camera
          The camera node for this nodekit. The camera part is created by
          default as an SoPerspectiveCamera node, but may later be changed to
          any subclass of SoCamera. (e.g., SoPerspectiveCamera,
          SoOrthographicCamera).


METHODS
                         SoCameraKit()
          Constructor.

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

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