Tool Class Reference

A Tool represents a virtual device used to manipulate objects on the screen. Tools use input from VMDTracker, Feedback, and Button devices and draw a pointer on the screen. Tools can give up their devices to another tool to effectively allow a tool to change its type on the fly. More...
