Detailed Description

This is the client-side interface to analytic geometry suitable for using to generate mass properties, collisions, etc.

Analytic geometry types can also generate decorative geometry for visualization purposes.

Each object has its own local coordinate system and is defined self-consistently but independent of anything else. Clients can associate these with a Transform to produce the effect of attaching AnalyticGeometry objects to bodies.
