### Example

The example shows how to manage a palm with the `Palm` class.

#### Create a palm with a constructor

```csharp
// Create a thumb MCP joint with the specified 2D position and 
// 3D position.
FingerJoint thumbMCP = new FingerJoint
(
    FingerJointType.ThumbMCP,
    new Vector2(3, 3),
    new Vector3(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f),
    new Quaternion()
);

// Create a pinky MCP joint with the specified 2D position and 
// 3D position.
FingerJoint pinkyMCP = new FingerJoint
(
    FingerJointType.PinkyMCP,
    new Vector2(3, 3),
    new Vector3(0.3f, 0.3f, 0.3f),
    new Quaternion()
);

 // Create a palm with the specified joints.
 Palm palm = new Palm
 (
     new Dictionary<FingerJointType, FingerJoint> 
     {
         { FingerJointType.ThumbMCP, thumbMCP },
         { FingerJointType.PinkyMCP, pinkyMCP }
     }
 );
```

#### Get joint information from a palm

```csharp
// Get palm pinky MCP joint.
FingerJoint pinkyMCPNew = palm.PinkyMCP;
```
