DESCRIPTION

       SbLineProjector projects a 2D point, typically the location of the cursor, onto a 3D line.

METHODS

                         SbLineProjector()
                         ~SbLineProjector()
          Constructor and destructor. The default line passes through the origin and is aligned with the Y axis.

     void                setLine(const SbLine &line)
     const SbLine &      getLine() const
          Set and get the line on which to project 2D points.

     virtual SbVec3f     getVector(const SbVec2f &mousePosition1, const SbVec2f &mousePosition2)
          Get a vector on this line given two normalized mouse points.

     virtual SbVec3f     getVector(const SbVec2f &mousePosition)
          Get  a  vector  given the current mouse point. Uses the last point on this projector from the previous
          call to getVector() or setStartPostion().  Do not use this if the working space transform is  changing
          since the new point will be in a different space than the old one.

     void                setStartPosition(const SbVec2f &mousePosition)
          Set the initial position from a mouse position.

     void                setStartPosition(const SbVec3f &point)
          Set the initial position from a point on the projector.
