// <summary>  An FTMachine for Gridded Fourier transforms </summary>

// <use visibility=export>

// <reviewed reviewer="" date="" tests="" demos="">

// <prerequisite>
//   <li> <linkto class=FTMachine>FTMachine</linkto> module
//   <li> <linkto class=SkyEquation>SkyEquation</linkto> module
//   <li> <linkto class=VisBuffer>VisBuffer</linkto> module

// <etymology>
// FTMachine is a Machine for Fourier Transforms. MosaicFT does
// Grid-based Fourier transforms.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis> 
// The <linkto class=SkyEquation>SkyEquation</linkto> needs to be able
// to perform Fourier transforms on visibility data. MosaicFT
// allows efficient Fourier Transform processing using a 
// <linkto class=VisBuffer>VisBuffer</linkto> which encapsulates
// a chunk of visibility (typically all baselines for one time)
// together with all the information needed for processing
// (e.g. UVW coordinates).
//
// Gridding and degridding in MosaicFT are performed using a
// novel sort-less algorithm. In this approach, the gridded plane is
// divided into small patches, a cache of which is maintained in memory
// using a general-purpose <linkto class=LatticeCache>LatticeCache</linkto> class. As the (time-sorted)
// visibility data move around slowly in the Fourier plane, patches are
// swapped in and out as necessary. Thus, optimally, one would keep at
// least one patch per baseline.  
//
// A grid cache is defined on construction. If the gridded uv plane is smaller
// than this, it is kept entirely in memory and all gridding and
// degridding is done entirely in memory. Otherwise a cache of tiles is
// kept an paged in and out as necessary. Optimally the cache should be
// big enough to hold all polarizations and frequencies for all
// baselines. The paging rate will then be small. As the cache size is
// reduced below this critical value, paging increases. The algorithm will
// work for only one patch but it will be very slow!
//
// This scheme works well for arrays having a moderate number of
// antennas since the saving in space goes as the ratio of
// baselines to image size. For the ATCA, VLBA and WSRT, this ratio is
// quite favorable. For the VLA, one requires images of greater than
// about 200 pixels on a side to make it worthwhile.
//
// The FFT step is done plane by plane for images having less than
// 1024 * 1024 pixels on each plane, and line by line otherwise.
//
// The gridding and degridding steps are implemented in Fortran
// for speed. In gridding, the visibilities are added onto the
// grid points in the neighborhood using a weighting function.
// In degridding, the value is derived by a weight summ of the
// same points, using the same weighting function.
// </synopsis> 
//
// <example>
// See the example for <linkto class=SkyModel>SkyModel</linkto>.
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Define an interface to allow efficient processing of chunks of 
// visibility data
// </motivation>
