Detailed Description
The ActorTree class implements a generic tree whose nodes contain Actor[s].
Each node of the tree can have any number of children.
Use this class when you want to have direct control over how the Actor[s] are grouped together or to implement specific space partitioning schemes like BSP trees, Quadtrees, Octrees etc. For example you can use the ActorTree class to build a quadtree by assigning 4 children per node and filling them appropriately. Of course you can also use an ActorTree to group a set of Actor[s] based on any other principle. For example animated Actor[s] are usually kept in separate "flat" trees (for example all in a single node) as the computational cost of rebuilding every frame the BSP tree, Quadtree, Octree etc. might be to high.
Note that for performance reasons the ActorKdTree class derives from the ActorTreeAbstract and implements a space partitioning scheme (based on a binary tree) where the splitting planes are in turn choosen so that they are aligned to the world space x, y and z axes.
