// Class AliHelix
// Representation and extrapolation of AliTracks in a magnetic field.
//
// This class is meant to provide a means to display and extrapolate
// AliTrack objects in the presence of a constant homogeneous magnetic field. 
//
// For track/event displays the line width, colour etc... can be set using the
// standard facilities (see TAttLine).
// By default the linewith is set to 2 and the colour set to -1 in the constructor.
// The latter results in an automatic colour coding according to the track charge
// with the convention positive=red neutral=green negative=blue.
//
// To indicate the track starting point, the memberfunction SetMarker()
// may be used.
// By default no marker will be displayed. 
//

// In case the track can never reach the specified plane, the returned
// position pointer is zero.
// Detailed information of all the helix points used in the extrapolation
// can be obtained via the GetN() and GetP() memberfunctions of TPolyLine3D.
// It is assumed that the track charge is stored in elementary units
// (i.e. charge=1 for a proton).
// The input argument "scale" specifies the unit scale for the various
// locations where scale=0.01 indicates unit scales in cm etc...
// In case scale<=0, the unit scale for locations is determined from the
// begin, reference or endpoint of the track. If neither of these
// positions is present, all locations are assumed to be given in meter.
// The extrapolation parameters for the impact plane and required accuracy
// are specified by pars[0], pars[1] and pars[2], respectively.
// pars[0] = coordinate value of the plane for the impact point
// pars[1] = required accuracy on the specified impact plane coordinate
// pars[2] = the axis along which the value of par[0] is specified
//
// The parameters can be specified either w.r.t. the LAB frame or the Helix frame.
// The latter is the frame in which the Z axis points in the B direction.
//
// The conventions for the par[2] argument are the following :
// par[2] = 1 ==> X axis in the LAB frame
//          2 ==> Y axis in the LAB frame
//          3 ==> Z axis in the LAB frame
//         -1 ==> X axis in the Helix frame
//         -2 ==> Y axis in the Helix frame
//         -3 ==> Z axis in the Helix frame
//
// Example :
// ---------
// To obtain an extrapolation to the plane Z=0 in the LAB frame
// with an accuracy of 0.001 cm the input arguments would be
// pars[0]=0  pars[1]=0.001  pars[2]=3  scale=0.01
//
// Note : The default value for the scale is -1.
