DESCRIPTION
     This node defines a 3D rotation about an arbitrary axis through the
     origin. The rotation is accumulated into the current transformation,
     which is applied to subsequent shapes. The rotation field provides a
     variety of methods for specifying the rotation.

FIELDS
     SoSFRotation        rotation
          Rotation specification.


FUNCTIONS
     SoRotation *        SoRotCreate()
          Creates a rotation node with default settings.

     SoType              SoRotGetClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.


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

     SoGetMatrixAction
          Returns the matrix corresponding to the rotation.


FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
     Rotation {
          rotation  0 0 1  0
     }
