-//! Class for keeping and computing transformation persistence.
-//! Note that instance of this class can not define
-//! no transformation persistence Graphic3d_TMF_None - NULL handle should be used for this purpose.
+//! Transformation Persistence definition.
+//!
+//! Transformation Persistence defines a mutable Local Coordinate system which depends on camera position,
+//! so that visual appearance of the object becomes partially immutable while camera moves.
+//! Object visually preserves particular property such as size, placement, rotation or their combination.
+//!
+//! Graphic3d_TMF_ZoomPers, Graphic3d_TMF_RotatePers and Graphic3d_TMF_ZoomRotatePers define Local Coordinate system
+//! having origin in specified anchor point defined in World Coordinate system,
+//! while Graphic3d_TMF_TriedronPers and Graphic3d_TMF_2d define origin as 2D offset from screen corner in pixels.
+//!
+//! Graphic3d_TMF_2d, Graphic3d_TMF_TriedronPers and Graphic3d_TMF_ZoomPers defines Local Coordinate system where length units are pixels.
+//! Beware that Graphic3d_RenderingParams::ResolutionRatio() will be ignored!
+//! For other Persistence flags, normal (world) length units will apply.
+//!
+//! WARNING: Graphic3d_TMF_None is not permitted for defining instance of this class - NULL handle should be used for this purpose!
