// .NAME vtkIncrementalPointLocator - Abstract class in support of both
//  point location and point insertion.
//
// .SECTION Description
//  Compared to a static point locator for pure location functionalities
//  through some search structure established from a fixed set of points,
//  an incremental point locator allows for, in addition, point insertion
//  capabilities, with the search structure maintaining a dynamically
//  increasing number of points. There are two incremental point locators,
//  i.e., vtkPointLocator and vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator. As opposed
//  to the uniform bin-based search structure (adopted in vtkPointLocator)
//  with a fixed spatial resolution, an octree mechanism (employed in
//  vtkIncrementalOctreePointlocator) resorts to a hierarchy of tree-like
//  sub-division of the 3D data domain. Thus it enables data-aware multi-
//  resolution and accordingly accelerated point location as well as point
//  insertion, particularly when handling a radically imbalanced layout of
//  points as not uncommon in datasets defined on adaptive meshes. In other
//  words, vtkIncrementalOctreePointLocator is an octree-based accelerated
//  implementation of all functionalities of vtkPointLocator.
