  // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  // Please read the following information that will help implement your projector:

  // FLTNB is a macro defining the precision of the code (float, double, long double) that can be customized through some compilation options.
  // So please, DO NOT USE 'float' or 'double' keywords but USE INSTEAD 'FLTNB'.
  // Same for integers used to define image dimensions, DO NOT USE 'int' or 'long int' but USE INSTEAD 'INTNB'.

  // All 3D vectors of type FLTNB* or INTNB* carry the information in the following order: X then Y then Z.

  // The image dimensions can be accessed via some local copies of the parameters:
  //  - number of voxels: mp_nbVox[0] (along X), mp_nbVox[1] (along Y), mp_nbVox[2] (along Z),
  //  - size of voxels in mm: mp_voxSize[0] (along X), mp_voxSize[1] (along Y), mp_voxSize[2] (along Z),
  //  - half image dimensions in mm: mp_halfFOV[0] (along X), mp_halfFOV[1] (along Y), mp_halfFOV (along Z).

  // For code efficiency and readability, the spatial index of a voxel is a cumulative 1D index. That is to say, given a voxel [indexX,indexY,indexZ],
  // its cumulative 1D index is computed by 'index = indexZ*m_nbVoxXY + indexY*mp_nbVox[0] + indexX'.

  // All information that you may need about the line of response are embedded into the oProjectionLine object given as a parameter. So take a look
  // at this class to know how to get those information through some ap_ProjectionLine->GetXXX() functions.

  // The end points of the line are already computed by the vProjector with respect to the different options provided; e.g. mean depth of
  // interaction, actual position of interaction (POI), randomization of end points, etc. However, if you want to customize those end points,
  // take a look at what the vScanner and children can do through the use of some dedicated functions. If it cannot do what you want, consider adding
  // this function into the vScanner or children classes. The vScanner object can be accessed using the mp_Scanner member object of this class.

  // The projected line must go from point 1 to point 2 and voxel contributions by sorted in order to be compatible with SPECT attenuation correction.

  // Finally, to add the contribution of a given voxel to this projection line, simply use this instruction:
  // ap_ProjectionLine->AddVoxel(a_direction, my_index, my_weight), where 'my_index' is the spatial index of the voxel and 'my_weight' is its
  // associated weight (i.e. its contribution to the line).

  // Finally, remember that the mantra of CASToR is the genericity, so when you add some code, think about it twice in order to ensure that this
  // piece of code can be used by anyone in any context!
