Tool Widget Help

The Tool Widget consists of arbitrary geometry which is provided by some external agent. The primary use of the Tool Widget is in surgical simulation, where simulated tools such as a scalpel, a laser, and suction will be needed.

The user moves the Tool Widget by dragging any of its graphical components and setting an orientation. The six degrees of freedom will frequently be provided by a "flying mouse."
