// .NAME vtkCell - abstract class to specify cell behavior
// .SECTION Description
// vtkCell is an abstract class that specifies the interfaces for data cells.
// Data cells are simple topological elements like points, lines, polygons, 
// and tetrahedra of which visualization datasets are composed. In some 
// cases visualization datasets may explicitly represent cells (e.g., 
// vtkPolyData, vtkUnstructuredGrid), and in some cases, the datasets are 
// implicitly composed of cells (e.g., vtkStructuredPoints).
//
// .SECTION Caveats
// The #define VTK_CELL_SIZE is a parameter used to construct cells and provide
// a general guideline for controlling object execution. This parameter is 
// not a hard boundary: you can create cells with more points.

// .SECTION See Also
// vtkHexahedron vtkLine vtkPixel vtkPolyLine vtkPolyVertex
// vtkPolygon vtkQuad vtkTetra vtkTriangle 
// vtkTriangleStrip vtkVertex vtkVoxel vtkWedge vtkPyramid

  // cells.

  // in which case, the closest point and dist2 are not found), and

  // number of points defining the cell). Note: on rare occasions a -1 is
  // returned from the method. This means that numerical error has occurred
  // and all data returned from this method should be ignored. Also,
  // inside/outside is determine parametrically. That is, a point is inside
  // if it satisfies parametric limits. This can cause problems for cells of
  // topological dimension 2 or less, since a point in 3D can project onto
  // the cell within parametric limits but be "far" from the cell.  Thus the

  // Description:
  // Generate contouring primitives. The scalar list cellScalars are
  // scalar values at each cell point. The point locator is essentially a 
  // points list that merges points as they are inserted (i.e., prevents 
  // duplicates). Contouring primitives can be vertices, lines, or
  // polygons. It is possible to interpolate point data along the edge
  // by providing input and output point data - if outPd is NULL, then
  // no interpolation is performed. Also, if the output cell data is
  // non-NULL, the cell data from the contoured cell is passed to the
  // generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() method
  // must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The 
  // cellId refers to the cell from which the cell data is copied.)

  // more cells of the same topological dimension as the original cell.

  // normally cell points whose scalar value is greater than "value" are
  // considered inside. If insideOut is on, this is reversed. Also, if the 
  // output cell data is non-NULL, the cell data from the clipped cell is 
  // passed to the generated contouring primitives. (Note: the CopyAllocate() 
  // method must be invoked on both the output cell and point data. The

  // Description:
  // Generate simplices of proper dimension. If cell is 3D, tetrahedron are 
  // generated; if 2D triangles; if 1D lines; if 0D points. The form of the
  // output is a sequence of points, each n+1 points (where n is topological 
  // cell dimension) defining a simplex. The index is a parameter that controls
  // which triangulation to use (if more than one is possible). If numerical
  // degeneracy encountered, 0 is returned, otherwise 1 is returned.
  // This method does not insert new points: all the points that define the
  // simplices are the points that define the cell.

  // Description:

  // the number of data values per cell point. Derivs are derivatives in the
  // x-y-z coordinate directions for each data value. Thus, if computing
  // derivatives for a scalar function in a hexahedron, dim=1, 8 values are
  // supplied, and 3 deriv values are returned (i.e., derivatives in x-y-z
  // directions). On the other hand, if computing derivatives of velocity
  // (vx,vy,vz) dim=3, 24 values are supplied ((vx,vy,vz)1, (vx,vy,vz)2,
  // ....()8), and 9 deriv values are returned
  // ((d(vx)/dx),(d(vx)/dy),(d(vx)/dz), (d(vy)/dx),(d(vy)/dy), (d(vy)/dz),
  // (d(vz)/dx),(d(vz)/dy),(d(vz)/dz)).

  // Compute Length squared of cell (i.e., bounding box diagonal squared).

  // Description:
  // Return center of the cell in parametric coordinates.  Note that the
  // parametric center is not always located at (0.5,0.5,0.5). The return
  // value is the subId that the center is in (if a composite cell). If you
  // want the center in x-y-z space, invoke the EvaluateLocation() method.
  virtual int GetParametricCenter(double pcoords[3]);


  // Description:
  // Return the distance of the parametric coordinate provided to the
  // cell. If inside the cell, a distance of zero is returned. This is
  // used during picking to get the correct cell picked. (The tolerance
  // will occasionally allow cells to be picked who are not really
  // intersected "inside" the cell.)
  virtual double GetParametricDistance(double pcoords[3]);


  // Description:
  // Return whether this cell type has a fixed topology or whether the
  // topology varies depending on the data (e.g., vtkConvexPointSet).
  // This compares to composite cells that are typically composed of
  // primary cells (e.g., a triangle strip composite cell is made up of
  // triangle primary cells).
  virtual int IsPrimaryCell() {return 1;}


  // Description: 
  // Return a contiguous array of parametric coordinates of the points
  // defining this cell. In other words, (px,py,pz, px,py,pz, etc..)  The
  // coordinates are ordered consistent with the definition of the point
  // ordering for the cell. This method returns a non-NULL pointer when
  // the cell is a primary type (i.e., IsPrimaryCell() is true). Note that
  // 3D parametric coordinates are returned no matter what the topological
  // dimension of the cell.
