// .NAME vtkExtentTranslator - Generates a structured extent from unstructured.

// .SECTION Description
// vtkExtentTranslator generates a structured extent from an unstructured
// extent.  It uses a recursive scheme that splits the largest axis.  A hard
// coded extent can be used for a starting point.

// .SECTION Caveats
// This object is still under development.
