/** 
 *  @brief Factory for creating and configuring interfaces for pan/tilt units or camera
 *  pan/tilt/zoom control based on robot parameter file and command-line arguments.
 *
 *  First, create an ArPTZConnector object before 
 *  calling Aria::parseArgs().  After connecting to the robot, call
 *  Aria::parseArgs() to check arguments and parameters from the parameter
 *  file(s).  Then, call connect() to connect to all configured and enabled PTZs. To get
 *  access to a PTZ objects, use getPTZ(int i) and getNumPTZs(), or getPTZs().
 *  ArPTZ provides an interface to functions that most PTZ implementations
 *  (ArPTZ subclasses) implement. Some PTZ implementations have additional
 *  features. Use those subclasse directly to use these additional features
 *  (use dynamic_cast to cast an ArPTZ pointer to a subclass pointer, if
 *  possible.)
 *  
 *  ArPTZConnector has built in support for all the PTZ types with support
 *  included in the ARIA library, and other libraries or programs may register 
 *  new types as well. (For example, the ArVideo library contains support for
 *  additional camera PTZ types.)
 *
 * The following command-line arguments are checked:
 * @verbinclude ArPTZConnector_options
 *
 * PTZs are 0-indexed internally in this class, however, argument names,
 * parameter names and log messages displayed to users are 1-indexed. 

  @ingroup OptionalClasses
  @ingroup DeviceClasses
  @since 2.7.6
