Detailed Description

A class template to execute extrusion actions on an object.

The vertex array of the object is extrudeded into a set of consecutive dimensions.

As I find the concept hard to explain in words, let me give a few examples to illustrate the idea:

 Extrude<4, 0, 0> line;

A line in four-space. A point is extruded along dimension 0 (x ).

 Extrude<4, 0, 1> square;

A point is extruded into two dimensions, giving a square.

 Extrude<4, 2, 2> cube;

The square is extruded into the third dimension to a cube.

  Taper<4, 1, 1> triangle(line);
  Extrude<4, 2, 2> prism;

A line is tapered into a triangle, and then extruded to become a prism.

 Extrude<4, 0, 3> tesseract;

Extruding a point i four dimensions gives a hypercube or tesseract.

Template Parameters:

D	Dimension of the vector space we're working in
Dmin	First of the set of dimensions being tapered into
Dmax	Last of the set of dimensions being tapered into
