// .NAME vtkPlanes - implicit function for convex set of planes
// .SECTION Description
// vtkPlanes computes the implicit function and function gradient for a set
// of planes. The planes must define a convex space.
//
// The function value is the closest first order distance of a point to the
// convex region defined by the planes. The function gradient is the plane
// normal at the function value.  Note that the normals must point outside of
// the convex region. Thus, a negative function value means that a point is
// inside the convex region.
//
// There are several methods to define the set of planes. The most general is
// to supply an instance of vtkPoints and an instance of vtkDataArray. (The
// points define a point on the plane, and the normals corresponding plane
// normals.) Two other specialized ways are to 1) supply six planes defining
// the view frustrum of a camera, and 2) provide a bounding box.
