// .NAME vtkCameraInterpolator - interpolate a series of cameras to update a new camera
// .SECTION Description
// This class is used to interpolate a series of cameras to update a
// specified camera. Either linear interpolation or spline interpolation may
// be used. The instance variables currently interpolated include position,
// focal point, view up, view angle, parallel scale, and clipping range.
//
// To use this class, specify the type of interpolation to use, and add a
// series of cameras at various times "t" to the list of cameras from which to
// interpolate. Then to interpolate in between cameras, simply invoke the
// function InterpolateCamera(t,camera) where "camera" is the camera to be
// updated with interpolated values. Note that "t" should be in the range
// (min,max) times specified with the AddCamera() method. If outside this
// range, the interpolation is clamped. This class copies the camera information
// (as compared to referencing the cameras) so you do not need to keep separate
// instances of the camera around for each camera added to the list of cameras
// to interpolate.
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// The interpolator classes are initialized the first time InterpolateCamera()
// is called. Any later changes to the interpolators, or additions to the list of
// cameras to be interpolated, causes a reinitialization of the 
// interpolators the next time InterpolateCamera() is invoked. Thus the
// best performance is obtained by 1) configuring the interpolators, 2) adding 
// all the cameras, and 3) finally performing interpolation.
//
// Currently position, focal point and view up are interpolated to define
// the orientation of the camera. Quaternion interpolation may be added in the
// future as an alternative interpolation method for camera orientation.
