//
// Description:
//     Interactive tool to draw a helix.
//     Uses OpenGL to draw a guideline for the helix.
//
//
// Steps in creating a tool command
//
// 1. Create a tool command class. 
//    Same process as an MPxCommand except define 2 methods
//    for interactive use: cancel, and finalize.
//    There is also an addition constructor MPxToolCommand(), which 
//    is called from your context when the command needs to be invoked.
//
// 2. Define your context.
//    This is accomplished by deriving off of MPxContext and overriding
//    whatever methods you need.
//
// 3. Create a command class to create your context.
//    You will call this command in Maya to create and name a context.
