// .NAME vtkUnstructuredGridVolumeRayCastIterator
//
// .SECTION Description
//
// vtkUnstructuredGridVolumeRayCastIterator is a superclass for iterating
// over the intersections of a viewing ray with a group of unstructured
// cells.  These iterators are created with a
// vtkUnstructuredGridVolumeRayCastFunction.
//
// .SECTION See Also

  // information.  The number of intersections actually encountered is
  // returned.  0 is returned if and only if no more intersections are to
