// Example custom transform:
//      This plug-in implements an example custom transform that
//      can be used to perform a rocking motion around the X axix.
//      Geometry of any rotation can be made a child of this transform
//      to demonstrate the effect.
//      The plug-in contains two pieces:
//      1. The custom transform node -- rockingTransformCheckNode
//      2. The custom transformation matrix -- rockingTransformCheckMatrix
//      These classes are used together in order to implement the
//      rocking motion.  Note that the rock attribute is stored outside
//      of the regular transform attributes.
//
// MEL usage:
/*
        // Create a rocking transform and make a rotated plane
        // its child.
        loadPlugin rockingTransformCheck;
        file -f -new;
        polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 10 -sy 10 -ax 0 1 0 -tx 1 -ch 1;
        select -r pPlane1 ;
        rotate -r -ws -15 -15 -15 ;
        createNode rockingTransformCheck;
        parent pPlane1 rockingTransformCheck1;
        setAttr rockingTransformCheck1.rockx 10;
