/** A Transform is a group node for which all children are transformed by
  * a 4x4 matrix. It is often used for positioning objects within a scene,
  * producing trackball functionality or for animation.
  *
  * Transform itself does not provide set/get functions, only the interface
  * for defining what the 4x4 transformation is.  Subclasses, such as
  * MatrixTransform and PositionAttitudeTransform support the use of an
  * osg::Matrix or a Vec3 and Quat respectively.
  *
  * Note: If the transformation matrix scales the subgraph then the normals
  * of the underlying geometry will need to be renormalized to be unit
  * vectors once more.  This can be done transparently through OpenGL's
  * use of either GL_NORMALIZE and GL_RESCALE_NORMAL modes. For further
  * background reading see the glNormalize documentation in the OpenGL
  * Reference Guide (the blue book). To enable it in the OSG, you simply
  * need to attach a local osg::StateSet to the osg::Transform, and set
  * the appropriate mode to ON via
  *   stateset->setMode(GL_NORMALIZE, osg::StateAttribute::ON);
