// This class is called via the TPluginManager from classes that        //
// do not require linking with libG3d except in some rare cases like    //
// rotating a 3-d object in the pad or drawing 3-d axis in the pad.     //
// The concrete implementation TUtil3D is defined in system.rootrc      //
// and can be overridden by a user to extend the functionality.         //
// This abstract interface has three main goals:                        //
//   - it decouples libG3d from the calling classes                     //
//   - it does not require the use of magic strings like when using     //
//     gROOT->ProcessLine to instantiate classes in libG3d.             //
//   - it allows advanced users to redefine or extend some functions.   //
//                                                                      //
