// .NAME vtkParametricSpline - parametric function for 1D interpolating splines
// .SECTION Description
// vtkParametricSpline is a parametric function for 1D interpolating splines.
// vtkParametricSpline maps the single parameter u into a 3D point (x,y,z)
// using three instances of interpolating splines.  This family of 1D splines
// is quaranteed to be parameterized in the interval [0,1].  Attempting to
// evaluate outside this interval will cause the parameter u to be clamped in
// the range [0,1].
//
// When constructed, this class creates instances of vtkCardinalSpline for
// each of the x-y-z coordinates. The user may choose to replace these with
// their own instances of subclasses of vtkSpline.
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// If you wish to tessellate the spline, use the class 
// vtkParametricFunctionSource.
