16 *
17 * Shapes are present for denoting a specific region of the simulation domain.
18 * There are four primitive types present:
19 * - Sphere
20 * - Ellipsoid
21 * - Cuboid
22 * - Cylinder
23 *
24 * Note that all may be modified (shrink/grow, rotate, morph) via an arbitrary
25 * matrix.
26 *
27 * The shapes are for the moment only used within \ref descriptors to specify
28 * a specific subset of atoms, here that reside in a certain region of the
29 * simulation domain.
30 *
31 * \todo There is a certain relation between Tesselation and Shape. Hence, later
32 * Tesselation shall itself be a Shape, i.e. that describes a certain region in
33 * space, here via a tesselated mesh.
34 *
35 * \section shapes-constructive-geometry Constructive Geometry
36 *
37 * Again, Shapes can be joined via boolean operators:
38 * - add
39 * - or
40 * - not
41 *
42 * And thus are a very powerful concept called constructive geometry.
43 *
44 * E.g. a shape can be used like this
45 * \code
46 * Cuboid(Vector(0,0,0), Vector(2,2,2)) && !Sphere(Vector(1,1,1), 1.)
47 * \endcode
48 * which would match any object within the cuboid from (0,0,0) to (2,2,2)
49 * that is not in the unit sphere at (1,1,1).
