Building a Node Kit

Let us explain the concept of creating a node kit by using a simple example. We assume that it is not necessary to explain the use of a node kit. We would like to create a node kit which creates a candle. The use of the CandleKit is simple like: CandleKit *candle = new CandleKit(); candle->ref(); The node kit itself consists out of two ShapeKits which have as default shape two cylinders. The shape can be redefined like in all SoShapeKits. The class definition shows that the kit is a sub class of SoBaseKit. The constructor initialize the kit and set the default representation. If you don't want to compile it by yourself, download it.
