In a hierarchical model you define how certain joints can be rotated
or moved. Then you select an object at the end of the hierarchy and
move it and Moray calculates how to rotate and move the joints you
specify such that the object you're dragging ends up where you're
dragging it to. The example that comes with Moray is a robot holding a
cube. It has a shoulder and a two-segment arm. You grab the little
cube and drag it and the arm extends and bends as specified.
