Detailed Description

Implementation of a point.

This class provides an implementation of a point. Numerous convienence operators are provided to help with the manipulation of points. This includes operators that work with the MVector and MMatrix classes.

All methods that query the point are threadsafe, all methods that modify the point are not threadsafe.
