// .NAME vtkNonMergingPointLocator - direct / check-free point insertion.
//
// .SECTION Description
//  As a special sub-class of vtkPointLocator, vtkNonMergingPointLocator is
//  intended for direct / check-free insertion of points into a vtkPoints
//  object. In other words, any given point is always directly inserted.
//  The name emphasizes the difference between this class and its sibling
//  class vtkMergePoints in that the latter class performs check-based zero
//  tolerance point insertion (or to 'merge' exactly duplicate / coincident
//  points) by exploiting the uniform bin mechanism employed by the parent
//  class vtkPointLocator. vtkPointLocator allows for generic (zero and non-
//  zero) tolerance point insertion as well as point location.
//
// .SECTION See Also
//  vtkIncrementalPointLocator vtkPointLocator vtkMergePoints

  // Description:

  // this function always returns 1 since any point is always inserted. The
  // index of the point is returned via ptId.
