/*! Returns the 4x4 OpenGL transformation matrix represented by the Frame.

  This method should be used in conjunction with \c glMultMatrixd() to modify the OpenGL modelview
  matrix from a Frame hierarchy. With this Frame hierarchy:
  \code

  Frame* leftArm  = new Frame();
  Frame* rightArm = new Frame();
  leftArm->setReferenceFrame(body);
  rightArm->setReferenceFrame(body);
  \endcode

  The associated OpenGL drawing code should look like:
  \code
  void Viewer::draw()
  {
    glPushMatrix();
    glMultMatrixd(body->matrix());
    drawBody();

    glPushMatrix();
    glMultMatrixd(leftArm->matrix());
    drawArm();
    glPopMatrix();

    glPushMatrix();
    glMultMatrixd(rightArm->matrix());
    drawArm();
    glPopMatrix();

    glPopMatrix();
  }
  \endcode
  Note the use of nested \c glPushMatrix() and \c glPopMatrix() blocks to represent the frame hierarchy: \c
  leftArm and \c rightArm are both correctly drawn with respect to the \c body coordinate system.

  This matrix only represents the local Frame transformation (i.e. with respect to the
  referenceFrame()). Use worldMatrix() to get the full Frame transformation matrix (i.e. from the
  world to the Frame coordinate system). These two match when the referenceFrame() is \c NULL.

  The result is only valid until the next call to matrix(), getMatrix(), worldMatrix() or
  getWorldMatrix(). Use it immediately (as above) or use getMatrix() instead.

  representation (translation is on the last \e line instead of the last \e column).

/////////////////////////////////   ALIGN   /////////////////////////////////

/*! Aligns the Frame with \p frame, so that two of their axis are parallel.

If one of the X, Y and Z axis of the Frame is almost parallel to any of the X, Y, or Z axis of \p
frame, the Frame is rotated so that these two axis actually become parallel.

If, after this first rotation, two other axis are also almost parallel, a second alignment is
performed. The two frames then have identical orientations, up to 90 degrees rotations.

\p threshold measures how close two axis must be to be considered parallel. It is compared with the
absolute values of the dot product of the normalized axis.

When \p move is set to \c true, the Frame position() is also affected by the alignment. The new
Frame position() is such that the \p frame position (computed with coordinatesOf(), in the Frame
coordinates system) does not change.

\p frame may be \c NULL and then represents the world coordinate system (same convention than for
the referenceFrame()).

The rotation (and translation when \p move is \c true) applied to the Frame are filtered by the
possible constraint(). */
