Hi,

I am not so sure if I understand it right. Is Manta::Group designed in
according to the Composite design pattern? I mean Manta:Group is a
container for subclasses of Manta:Object and it can also recursively
contain instances of itself?

I'm not sure what you mean by Composite design pattern, but think of Group as a bucket of Objects, where any action that you can do on an object is performed sequentially on all Objects in the Group.

What operations can we "do" to the Manta::Objects? I can't find
a method/class that can do something like translate/rotate an Manta::Object.

Look at Inteface/Object.h.  Those are the operations you can do with an 
Object.

If you want to rotate/translate an object, you should do that with an 
Instance.  Instance objects apply changes to the incoming rays and then pass 
them down to their child object.
