Are there any good examples of manipulators beyond what is in the SDK examples?

I have a light node derived from a locator with a custom manipulator. I need to emulate some of the features of the standard Maya spotlight manipulator, are there any samples available? I’m especially interested in toggling the drawing of manipulators and getting them properly aligned with the locator.

Also, how do I change the manipulator when looking through selected?

I was able to do most of what I wanted in the manipulator draw function. The thing I’m stuck on is creating a direction manipulator to aim the locator in the same way you can aim a spotlight with it’s manipulator. How is this achieved?
