//       Class : CMotionTrail
// Description : The method used in creating the motion trail is 
//               based on taking samples of time and transformations 
//               (the position and orientation matrix) in real-time.
//               The method also requires a number of vertices 
//               (positions) that determines "shape" of the motion 
//               trail (i.e. the edge of a blade).  A start color 
//               and end color is also required for each vertex. 
//               The color is interpolated as function of time.
//               The colors are typically used to fade the motion
//               trail so the end color is typically black.
//
//               The vertices are submitted via the "add_vertex" 
//               function.  For each frame, a sample is submited via 
//               the "update_motion_trail" function.  During the 
//               "update_motion_trail" function, the motion trail 
//               geometry is created dynamically from the sample 
//               history and the vertices.  
//
//               The user must specifiy a GeomNode via 
//               "set_geom_node".
//
//               The duration of the sample history is specified by 
//               a time window. A larger time window creates longer 
//               motion trails (given constant speed).  Samples that 
//               are no longer within the time window are 
//               automatically discarded.
//
//               The nurbs option can be used to create smooth 
//               interpolated curves from the samples.  The nurbs 
//               option is useful for animations that lack sampling 
//               to begin with, animations that move very quickly, 
//               or low frame rates.
//
//               The texture option be used to create variation to 
//               the motion trail.  The u coordinate of the texture 
//               corresponds to time and the v coordinate 
//               corresponds to the "shape" of the motion trail.
