Detailed Description

Highest node in a 3D topological structure.

The vtol_block class is used to represent the highest node in a 3D topological structure. A vtol_block consists of its inferior 2-chains which must be cyclic, and no topological superiors.

    Modifications:
     JLM Dec 1995, Added timeStamp (Touch) to operations which affect bounds.
     JLM Dec 1995  (Need to decide proper policy for curved volumes
                   and possibly inconsistent polyhedra volume geometry)
     JNS Dec 1998, Added is_within functions (used in 2D display of a block,
                   these functions must be wrong for 3D use)
     Dec. 2002, Peter Vanroose -interface change: vtol objects -> smart pointers
