Hello,
I'm to much of a novice to answer the transform group question. The only
suggestion is to go to http://www.web3d.org site and troll around for "The
Annotated VRML 2.0 reference Manual" which is in electronic form and is a
VRML reference.
However, there are some examples and discussions in the Jav3D API book (the
CD has some examples that use the vrmlloader) and the "3D user interfaces
with Java3D" book by Barrilleaux.
