//      PLUGIN DESCRIPTION

//      

//      This is an example of finding the intersection points on a mesh from a spotlight using the                      //      intersection acceleration methods in MFnMesh.

//      

//

//      PLUGIN INSTRUCTIONS

//

//      - create a spotlight and a poly plane (mesh)

//      - orient the light to shine onto the plane

//      - run the command as such: intersectCmd <spotLightName> <planeName>

//      - if there is an intersection, a small sphere will be created at the intersection point.

//      

//      Use the following script to automatically display intersections on the mesh (assuming 

//      a spotlight and a mesh with the names used here exist):

//

//      global proc intersectExample()

//      {

//              intersectCmd spotLight1 pPlane1;

//              select -r spotLight1;

//      }

//

//      scriptJob -ac "spotLight1.tx" intersectExample;

//      scriptJob -ac "spotLight1.ty" intersectExample;

//      scriptJob -ac "spotLight1.tz" intersectExample;

//

//      scriptJob -ac "spotLight1.rx" intersectExample;

//      scriptJob -ac "spotLight1.ry" intersectExample;

//      scriptJob -ac "spotLight1.rz" intersectExample;

//
