-**Vob framework:**
-Fenfire's Vob graphics model provides a simple way of
-specifying geometry and automatic animation between views.
-A vob is a visual object that knows how to draw itself in
-one or more coordinate systems (for example, a connection line
-vob draws a line between the origins of two coordinate systems). 
-Views place vobs and coordinate systems into *vob scenes*
-(rendered keyframes).
-When the user moves from one scene to another,
-the coordinate systems of the first view are 
-interpolated to the corresponding coordinate systems of the
-following view, resulting in smooth animation.
-Furthermore, many source code changes yield immediate effects 
-without rebuilding.
-
-Our aim is to obtain a theoretical foundation for the framework 
-regarding the performance vs. dynamical compiling 
-and rapid development aspects tradeoff 
-of the code as well as results about the generality and properties
-of the coordinate systems and transformations.
