// .NAME vtk3DWidget - an abstract superclass for 3D widgets
// .SECTION Description
// vtk3DWidget is an abstract superclass for 3D interactor observers. These
// 3D widgets represent themselves in the scene, and have special callbacks
// associated with them that allows interactive manipulation of the widget.
// Inparticular, the difference between a vtk3DWidget and its abstract
// superclass vtkInteractorObserver is that vtk3DWidgets are "placed" in 3D
// space.  vtkInteractorObservers have no notion of where they are placed,
// and may not exist in 3D space at all.  3D widgets also provide auxiliary
// functions like producing a transformation, creating polydata (for seeding
// streamlines, probes, etc.) or creating implicit functions. See the
// concrete subclasses for particulars.
//
// Typically the widget is used by specifying a vtkProp3D or VTK dataset as
// input, and then invoking the "On" method to activate it. (You can also
// specify a bounding box to help position the widget.) Prior to invoking the
// On() method, the user may also wish to use the PlaceWidget() to initially
// position it. The 'i' (for "interactor") keypresses also can be used to
// turn the widgets on and off (methods exist to change the key value
// and enable keypress activiation).
// 
// To support interactive manipulation of objects, this class (and
// subclasses) invoke the events StartInteractionEvent, InteractionEvent, and
// EndInteractionEvent.  These events are invoked when the vtk3DWidget enters
// a state where rapid response is desired: mouse motion, etc. The events can
// be used, for example, to set the desired update frame rate
// (StartInteractionEvent), operate on the vtkProp3D or other object
// (InteractionEvent), and set the desired frame rate back to normal values
// (EndInteractionEvent).
//
// Note that the Priority attribute inherited from vtkInteractorObserver has
// a new default value which is now 0.5 so that all 3D widgets have a higher
// priority than the usual interactor styles.

  // Description:
  // This method is used to initially place the widget.  The placement of the
  // widget depends on whether a Prop3D or input dataset is provided. If one
  // of these two is provided, they will be used to obtain a bounding box,
  // around which the widget is placed. Otherwise, you can manually specify a
  // bounds with the PlaceWidget(bounds) method. Note: PlaceWidget(bounds)
  // is required by all subclasses; the other methods are provided as
  // convenience methods.

  // Description:
  // Set/Get a factor representing the scaling of the widget upon placement
  // (via the PlaceWidget() method). Normally the widget is placed so that
  // it just fits within the bounding box defined in PlaceWidget(bounds).
  // The PlaceFactor will make the widget larger (PlaceFactor > 1) or smaller
  // (PlaceFactor < 1). By default, PlaceFactor is set to 0.5.
