// .NAME vtkTupleInterpolator - interpolate a tuple of arbitray size
// .SECTION Description
// This class is used to interpolate a tuple which may have an arbitrary
// number of components (but at least one component). The interpolation may
// be linear in form, or via a subclasses of vtkSpline.
//
// To use this class, begin by specifying the number of components of the
// tuple and the interpolation function to use. Then specify at least one
// pair of (t,tuple) with the AddTuple() method.  Next interpolate the
// tuples with the InterpolateTuple(t,tuple) method, where "t" must be in the
// range of (t_min,t_max) parameter values specified by the AddTuple() method
// (if not then t is clamped), and tuple[] is filled in by the method (make
// sure that tuple [] is long enough to hold the interpolated data).
//
// You can control the type of interpolation to use. By default, the
// interpolation is based on a Kochanek spline. However, other types of
// splines can be specified. You can also set the interpolation method
// to linear, in which case the specified spline has no effect on the
// interpolation.

// .SECTION Caveats
// Setting the number of components or changing the type of interpolation
// causes the list of tuples to be reset, so any data inserted up to that
// point is lost. Bisection methods are used to speed up the search for the
// interpolation interval.

  // Description:
  // Obtain some information about the interpolation range. The numbers

  // using the same time t value more than once replaces the previous tuple
  // value at t.  At least two tuples must be added to define an
  // interpolation function.

  // Description:
  // Interpolate the list of tuples and determine a new tuple (i.e.,
  // fill in the tuple provided). If t is outside the range of
  // (min,max) values, then t is clamped. Note that each component
  // of tuple[] is interpolated independently.

  // Description:
  // Specify which type of function to use for interpolation. By default
  // spline interpolation (SetInterpolationFunctionToSpline()) is used
  // (i.e., a Kochanek spline) and the InterpolatingSpline instance variable
  // is used to birth the actual interpolation splines via a combination of
  // NewInstance() and DeepCopy(). You may also choose to use linear
  // interpolation by invoking SetInterpolationFunctionToLinear(). Note that
  // changing the type of interpolation causes previously inserted data
  // to be discarded.

  // If the InterpolationType is set to spline, then this method applies. By
  // default Kochanek interpolation is used, but you can specify any instance
  // of vtkSpline to use. Note that the actual interpolating splines are
  // created by invoking NewInstance() followed by DeepCopy() on the
