% Package pgfplots
%
% Provides a user-friendly interface to create function plots (normal
% plots, semi-logplots and double-logplots).

% It is based on Till Tantau's PGF package.

% The low-level tikz plot handler for 3D mesh and surface plots.
%
% It expects 
% a) a coordinate stream which is a linearized matrix, iterated either
% rowwise or column wise,
% b) the current set of options in /pgfplots/mesh/.
%
%
% ATTENTION:
% 	this handler is NOT as general as the others. In particular, it
% 	can't be interrupted by TeX groups: every single statement,
% 	starting with streamstart and ending with stream end, must be in
% 	the same scope!
%
% 	As a consequence, you can't use this handler inside of (all) TikZ
% 	input streams. Try it out. It will work in pgfplots, however.
%
% Furthermore, it relies on a couple of pgfplots macros. This may
% change in future versions.
% It relies on:
% 	- \ifpgfplots@curplot@threedim
% 	- \pgfplots@current@point@meta
% 		-> it also invokes \pgfplots@perpointmeta@preparetrafo and its
% 		@APPLY counterpart which checks for
% 	- \pgfplots@metamax
% 		If you use it outside of pgfplots, use
% 		\global\let\pgfplots@metamax=\pgfutil@empty
% 		This is can be used without an initialised
% 		pgfplots axes - as long as \pgfplots@current@point@meta is in
% 		the range [0,1000].
% 	- for the case 'shader=interp', a bounding box must be established
% 	before the plot is finished. This must be done using 
%	\def\pgfplotspointbbupperright{\pgfqpointxyz{2}{2}{0.9}}
%	\def\pgfplotspointbblowerleft {\pgfqpointxyz{0}{0}{0.1}}
%	or something like that.
%
% Besides these internals, it also relies on all public /pgfplots
% configuration keys related to mesh/surface plots.
%
% Please note that the 'z buffer' feature will not work without
% pgfplots (especially the z buffer=sort feature).
%
% Here is an example which compiles without a pgfplots axes:

% Ideas: make sure that the foreground edge is the 'v=1'
% edge of the coons patch, i.e. that it is drawn on top of
% the rest.
%
% Furthermore, for fixed v, the 'u=1' point should belong
% to the foreground (as it is drawn on top of u=0).
%
% In other words, if the coons patch looks like 
%
% BB-------CC   <--v=1
%  |        |
%  |        |

% where the AA,BB,CC,DD are the corners of the coons
% patch, The FOREGROUND POINT of our visualization here should be CC, 
% the second most foreground point BB (assuming that
% foreground point and second most foreground point are
% adjacent).
%
% Thus, if 'CC' is behind of 'BB' in the A,B,C,D ordering:
%    start the coons patch with AA := BB-1 in forward
%    direction.

%    start the coons patch with AA := BB+1 in reverse

% Thus, \csname #1A\endcsname is the first vertex, \csname #1B\endcsname the second
% and #1C, #1D the third and fourth.
%

% to stream to the shader. It will be defined to be either A,B,C or D.
% [output] #3: A macro name which indicates whether the stream shall
% be forward or backward. It will be defined to be either empty or 'r'. If
% it is empty, the coons patch shall be in the sequence
% #2,next(#2),next(next(#2),....
% If it is 'r', the coons patch shall be in the sequence
% #2,prev(#2),prev(prev(#2),...
