Spot Report Manipulation

The Spot Report example demonstrates the following:

• How to build a plugin module for the VR-Forces Gui
• How to make spot reports selectable
• How to know when spot reports are selected
• How to know when spot reports are double clicked on
• How to know when spot reports are right clicked on

The Spot Report Manipulation example demonstrates how to manipulate the selection of spot report objects
