/** \brief A Class which provides coordinate transforms between any two frames in a system.
 *
 * This class provides a simple interface to allow recording and lookup of
 * relationships between arbitrary frames of the system.
 *
 * libTF assumes that there is a tree of coordinate frame transforms which define the relationship between all coordinate frames.
 * For example your typical robot would have a transform from global to real world.  And then from base to hand, and from base to head.
 * But Base to Hand really is composed of base to shoulder to elbow to wrist to hand.
 * libTF is designed to take care of all the intermediate steps for you.
 *
 * Internal Representation
 * libTF will store frames with the parameters necessary for generating the transform into that frame from it's parent and a reference to the parent frame.
 * Frames are designated using an std::string
 * 0 is a frame without a parent (the top of a tree)
 * The positions of frames over time must be pushed in.
 *
 * All function calls which pass frame ids can potentially throw the exception tf::LookupException
