// .NAME vtkParametricFunction - abstract interface for parametric functions
// .SECTION Description
// vtkParametricFunction is an abstract interface for functions
// defined by parametric mapping i.e. f(u,v,w)->(x,y,z) where 
// u_min <= u < u_max, v_min <= v < v_max, w_min <= w < w_max. (For
// notational convenience, we will write f(u)->x and assume that
// u means (u,v,w) and x means (x,y,z).)
//
// The interface contains the pure virtual function, Evaluate(), that
// generates a point and the derivatives at that point which are then used to
// construct the surface. A second pure virtual function, EvaluateScalar(),
// can be used to generate a scalar for the surface. Finally, the
// GetDimension() virtual function is used to differentiate 1D, 2D, and 3D
// parametric functions. Since this abstract class defines a pure virtual
// API, its subclasses must implement the pure virtual functions
// GetDimension(), Evaluate() and EvaluateScalar().
//
// This class has also methods for defining a range of parametric values (u,v,w).
//

// Andrew Maclean a.maclean@cas.edu.au for creating and contributing the
// class.
