Detailed Description

Helper class to determine if a TrajectoryStateOnSurface would cross a layer from the inside, or from the outside, if propagated with a propagator with a defined direction. No propagations performed, the result is very fast but not correct in case of a looping track that first goes outwards, then inwards, before crossing a layer.
