<h1>The mouseGrabber example</h1>

<p>
 <code>MouseGrabber</code>s enable complex mouse interaction.
</p>
<p>
 A <code>MouseGrabber</code> is an abstract class which defines objects that are sensitive to the
 mouse. When activated, they grab the mouse events. Possible applications are interactive 2D or 3D
 GUI, object auto-selection, auto drop-down menu and much more.
</p>
<p>
 <code>ManipulatedFrame</code> are indeed <code>MouseGrabbers</code> as is illustrated here. Simply
 hover on a spiral to automatically "select" it. Mouse events will then be grabbed by the
 associated <code>ManipulatedFrame</code>, which can be moved without any key press or GUI
 interaction. Useful to easily manipulate scene objects. Note that by default, a
 <code>ManipulatedFrame</code> grabs the mouse when the cursor is close enough to its
 <code>position()</code>. You may want to overload the <code>checkIfGrabsMouse()</code> function to
 define a more complex grabbing test.
</p>
<p>
 That's what is done in the <code>CameraPathPlayer</code> class, which is associated to a Camera
 keyFrame paths or position. It is displayed as a text on the left hand side of the window (when
 its associated path is defined). It reacts to mouse hovering and clicking the text will play
 (resp. restore) the Camera path (resp. position).
