        ---Purpose: Supports the Boundings Volumes.  A Bounding Volume
        --          is used to bound a shape to optimising algorithms.
        --          If  a point is  outside the Bounding   Volume of a
        --          shape it is also  outside the shape.  The contrary
        --          is not necessarily true.
        --          
        --          Various classes are  then implemented to  describe
        --          the usual  Bounding volumes. Not  all  classes are
        --          implemented.
        --

        --
