This node is one of the five matrix or transform property Nodes. Transform describes three geometric three-dimensional transformations.
FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
Transform {
translation 0 0 0 # SFVec3f
rotation 0 0 1 0 # SFRotation
scaleFactor 1 1 1 # SFVec3f
scaleOrientation 0 0 1 0 # SFRotation
center 0 0 0 # SFVec3f
}
The three possible transformations that this node can instigate include a non-uniform scale about an arbitrary point, a rotation about an arbitrary point and axis, and a translation. These three possibilities are in the order in which they might be called. Also keep in mind that the non-uniform scale about an arbitrary point is a possibility. The scale doesn't necessarily have to be non-uniform.
Example Use
The following code fragment is from Corner.wrl.

translation 5 5 0
rotation 1 1 0 3.14
scaleFactor 10 1 10
