Locale (Java 3D Javadocs 0-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.scijava.java3d.Locale

```
public class Locale
extends Object
```
A Locale object defines a high-resolution position within a VirtualUniverse, and serves as a container for a collection of BranchGroup-rooted subgraphs (branch graphs), at that position. Objects within a Locale are defined using standard double-precision coordinates, relative to the origin of the Locale. This origin defines the Virtual World coordinate system for that Locale.
A Locale object defines methods to set and get its high-resolution coordinates, and methods to add, remove, and enumerate the branch graphs.
For more information, see the Introduction to the Java 3D API and Scene Graph Superstructure documents.
