/**
 * @class   vtkAssemblyPath
 * @brief   a list of nodes that form an assembly path
 *
 * vtkAssemblyPath represents an ordered list of assembly nodes that
 * represent a fully evaluated assembly path. This class is used primarily
 * for picking. Note that the use of this class is to add one or more
 * assembly nodes to form the path. (An assembly node consists of an instance
 * of vtkProp and vtkMatrix4x4, the matrix may be NULL.) As each node is
 * added, the matrices are concatenated to create a final, evaluated matrix.
