    // Description:
    //  The cgfxVector node is used to convert a vector in the scene to
    //  world coordinates.  The inputs are a vector in local coordinates,
    //  a flag indicating whether the vector is a position or a direction,
    //  and a matrix that will transoform the vector to world coordinates.
    //  This matrix is generally the worldInverseMatrix of the vector.
