// .NAME vtkBivariateStatistics - Base class for bivariate statistics 
// algorithms
//
// .SECTION Description
// This class specializes statistics algorithms to the bivariate case, where
// a number of pairs of columns of interest can be selected in the input data set.
// This is done by the means of the following functions:
//
// ResetColumns() - reset the list of columns of interest.
// Add/RemoveColum( namColX, namColY ) - try to add/remove column pair ( namColX,
// namColy ) to/from the list.
// SetColumnStatus ( namCol, status ) - mostly for UI wrapping purposes, try to 
// add/remove (depending on status) namCol from a list of buffered columns, from
// which all possible pairs are generated.
// The verb "try" is used in the sense that neither attempting to 
// repeat an existing entry nor to remove a non-existent entry will work.
// 
// .SECTION Thanks
// Thanks to Philippe Pebay and David Thompson from Sandia National Laboratories 
// for implementing this class.
