+ * @brief Main class used for handling PSSM
+ * @details This is the main class for supporting PSSM, it is used by the PSSM
+ *   plugin to compute the position of the splits.
+ *
+ *   It supports handling a varying amount of cameras, and fitting those cameras
+ *   into the main camera frustum, to render distant shadows. It also supports
+ *   various optimizations for fitting the frustum, e.g. rotating the sources
+ *   to get a better coverage.
+ *
+ *   It also provides methods to get arrays of data about the used cameras
+ *   view-projection matrices and their near and far plane, which is required for
+ *   processing the data in the shadow sampling shader.
+ *
+ *   In this class, there is often referred to "Splits" or also called "Cascades".
+ *   These denote the different cameras which are used to split the frustum,
+ *   and are a common term related to the PSSM algorithm.
+ *
+ *   To understand the functionality of this class, a detailed knowledge of the
