Functions
int	ABS (const int x)
	Returns the absolute value of an integer.
int	wIsFacingBack (const IPoint3 &v0, const IPoint3 &v1, const IPoint3 &v2, int flip=0)
	Given three points in a windows coordinate system (where the upper-left of the window is origin) returns TRUE if the face is facing backwards, FALSE otherwise.
int	hIsFacingBack (const IPoint3 &v0, const IPoint3 &v1, const IPoint3 &v2, int flip=0)
	Given three points in a coordinate system where the lower-left of the window is origin returns TRUE if the face is facing backwards, FALSE otherwise.
FacingType	wFacingType (const IPoint3 &v0, const IPoint3 &v1, const IPoint3 &v2, int flip=0)
	Returns the facing of a given triangle relative to the screen.
FacingType	hFacingType (const IPoint3 &v0, const IPoint3 &v1, const IPoint3 &v2, int flip=0)

DllExport BOOL	pointInRegion (int x, int y, HitRegion *hr)
	Returns TRUE if the specified point is inside the region `hr` or FALSE otherwise.
DllExport int	distToLine (int x, int y, int p1, int p2)
	Returns the signed distance from `x`, `y` to the line defined by `p1->p2`.
DllExport int	zDepthToLine (int x, int y, int p1, int p2)
	Returns z depth at closest point in the line defined by p1->p2 to x,y v = the vector from p1 to p2 w = the vector from p1 to q=(x,y) t = (w dot v) / (v dot v) p1[2] + (p2[2] - p1[2]) * t.
DllExport int	lineCrossesRect (RECT rc, int p1, int *p2)

	Given an integer returns another integer which is the closest power of 2.
Window / Crossing Mode Functions
DllExport void	setAutoCross (int onOff)
	Set to a non-zero value if crossing mode is used for selections, or zero if windowing mode is used instead.
DllExport int	getAutoCross ()
	Returns a non-zero value if crossing mode is used for selections, or zero if windowing mode is used instead.
DllExport void	setAutoCrossDir (int dir)
	Sets the type of crossing mechanism used in crossing mode of selections.
DllExport int	getAutoCrossDir ()
	Sets the type of crossing mechanism used in crossing mode of selections.
User-Defined Colors
Access to customizable colors used to draw viewport, scene and user interface elements (not elements of different color schemes available in 3ds Max).Clients of these methods should consider registering for NOTIFY_COLOR_CHANGE notification in order to ensure that they use the current custom colors.
#define	GetSelColor() GetUIColor(COLOR_SELECTION)
	Retrieves the selection color.
#define	GetSubSelColor() GetUIColor(COLOR_SUBSELECTION)
	Retrieves the sub-object selection color.
#define	GetFreezeColor() GetUIColor(COLOR_FREEZE)
	Retrieves the freeze color.
DllExport Point3	GetUIColor (int which)
	Retrieves the current value of the specified custom color.
DllExport void	SetUIColor (int which, Point3 *clr)
	Sets the current value of the specified custom color.
DllExport Point3	GetDefaultUIColor (int which)
	Retrieves the default value of the specified custom color.
