Detailed Description

abstract superclass for non-linear cells

vtkNonLinearCell is an abstract superclass for non-linear cell types. Cells that are a direct subclass of vtkCell or vtkCell3D are linear; cells that are a subclass of vtkNonLinearCell have non-linear interpolation functions. Non-linear cells require special treatment when tessellating or converting to graphics primitives. Note that the linearity of the cell is a function of whether the cell needs tessellation, which does not strictly correlate with interpolation order (e.g., vtkHexahedron has non-linear interpolation functions (a product of three linear functions in r-s-t) even thought vtkHexahedron is considered linear.)

Non-linear cells require special treatment (tessellation) when converting to graphics primitives (during mapping). The vtkCell API IsLinear() is modified to indicate this requirement.
