 To use the tools in RGG you should import the following packages:

-import de.grogra.pointcloud.groimp.*;

+===== Local transformation =====
+It is key to understand that in GroIMP each node have a local transformation, and the global coordinate of a node depends on the resolution of all previous local transformations from its parents in the graph.
+For point clouds nodes, it means that two point clouds with points that have the SAME coordinates, might be displayed at different global coordinates. The coordinates of Points are local by default. For instance, the two following point clouds are imported from the same file (and thus have the same local coordinates):
+{{:groimp-platform:pc_relativepos2.png?200| PC F}} {{ :groimp-platform:pc_relativepos1.png?200|F PC}}
+The first image results from //PointCloud F// and the second from //F PointCloud//.
+It is possible to force a point cloud to have global coordinates by moving it to the root of the graph and transforming it with its globalTransformation with :
+<code java>
+PointCloud myPC = ...;
+Matrix34d transfo = de.grogra.pointcloud.utils.Utils.getGlobalTransform( myPC);
+Matrix4d localT = myPC.getLocalTransformation();
+myPC.setTransform( transfo.transform( localT ) );

 In that example, the points of PC1 are translated by the //F// Node, but their local coordinates do not include this translation. Similarly, the points of PC2 are translated twice, once per F.

 If we merge the //RED// point cloud (PC2) into the //BLACK// one we have the following result (the points of PC2 are translated only by the first F):
