// .NAME vtkGenericCellTessellator - helper class to perform cell tessellation
// .SECTION Description
// vtkGenericCellTessellator is a helper class to perform adaptive tessellation
// of particular cell topologies. The major purpose for this class is to
// transform higher-order cell types (e.g., higher-order finite elements)
// into linear cells that can then be easily visualized by VTK. This class
// works in conjunction with the vtkGenericDataSet and vtkGenericAdaptorCell
// classes.
//
// This algorithm is based on edge subdivision. An error metric along each
// edge is evaluated, and if the error is greater than some tolerance, the
// edge is subdivided (as well as all connected 2D and 3D cells). The process
// repeats until the error metric is satisfied.
//
// A significant issue addressed by this algorithm is to insure face
// compatibility across neigboring cells. That is, diagonals due to face
// triangulation must match to insure that the mesh is compatible. The
// algorithm employs a precomputed table to accelerate the tessellation
// process. The table was generated with the help of vtkOrderedTriangulator;
// the basic idea is that the choice of diagonal is made by considering the
// relative value of the point ids.
