// .NAME vtkRungeKutta4 - Integrate an initial value problem using 4th
// order Runge-Kutta method.

// .SECTION Description
// This is a concrete sub-class of vtkInitialValueProblemSolver.
// It uses a 4th order Runge-Kutta method to obtain the values of
// a set of functions at the next time step.

// .SECTION See Also
// vtkInitialValueProblemSolver vtkRungeKutta45 vtkRungeKutta2 vtkFunctionSet

  // Description:
  // Given initial values, xprev , initial time, t and a requested time 
  // interval, delT calculate values of x at t+delT (xnext).
  // delTActual is always equal to delT.
  // Since this class can not provide an estimate for the error error
  // is set to 0.  
  // maxStep, minStep and maxError are unused.
  // This method returns an error code representing the nature of
  // the failure:
  // OutOfDomain = 1,
  // NotInitialized = 2,
  // UnexpectedValue = 3
