Detailed Description

An instance of this class represents the tracking volume of a tracking device.

Documentation As it inherits from mitk::Surface it can be displayed in the 3D-window of MITK. The coordinate system is the same as the coordination system of the tracking device. To have the specific dimensions of the tracking volume of a tracking device the method SetTrackingDeviceType() needs to be called. For tracking devices that have a modifiable tracking volume (e.g. VirtualTrackingDevice, this class produces a tracking volume with default values (e.g. that are set in the class' constructor
