 |
 |   Description:
 |      This file defines the SbSphereSheetProjector class. This is a
 |      sphere with a hyperbolic sheet draped over it. As the
 |      mouse moves away from the sphere, rotation gradually
 |      turns into pure roll.
 |
 |      This projector is good for trackballs that want to do
 |      constinuous roll. It allows pure roll as you move away
 |      from the sphere. (This projector uses the same paradigm 
 |      as the "Flip" demo.)
 |
 |      Warning: This projector tends to become unstable when
 |      the mouse position is beyond about 2*radius from the
 |      center of the sphere. Therefore, it is best to use this
 |      as a large, window-sized trackball.
 |
