// <synopsis>
// This class extracts an interpolated 1-D slice from a Lattice
// with a range of interpolation schemes available. The slice must lie in 
// the plane of two cardinal axes.
// </synopsis>
//
// <note role=tip>
// </note>
//
// <example>
// <srcBlock>
// IPosition shape(2, 20, 30);                    // Create MaskedLattice
// ArrayLattice<Float> arrLat(shape);
// SubLattice<Float> subLat(arrLat);
// LatticeSlice1D<Float> slicer(subLat);
//
// IPosition blc(2); blc = 0;                     // Extract slice between corners
// IPosition trc(shape-1);
// Vector<Float> data;
// Vector<Bool> mask;
// slicer.getSlice (data, mask, blc, trc);
// </srcBlock>
// </example>

// <motivation>
// Users often want to see cross-cuts through their data.
// </motivation>

// <todo asof="2004/04/16">
//   <li> Handle curves not in cardinal axis plane
//   <li> Derive from MaskedLattice ?
