// .NAME vtkVolumeRayCastMIPFunction - A maximum intensity projection ray caster for volumes
//
// .SECTION Description
// vtkVolumeRayCastMIPFunction is a volume ray cast function that
// computes the maximum value encountered along the ray. This is
// either the maximum scalar value, or the maximum opacity, as
// defined by the MaximizeMethod. The color and opacity returned
// by this function is based on the color, scalar opacity, and
// gradient opacity transfer functions defined in the vtkVolumeProperty
// of the vtkVolume.
//
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkVolumeRayCastFunction vtkVolumeRayCastMapper vtkVolumeProperty
// vtkVolumeRayCastCompositeFunction vtkVolumeRayCastIsosurfaceFunction
