// <etymology> 
// A 1-dimensional Lorentzian's parameters.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis> 
// A <src>Lorentzian1D</src> is described by a height, center, and width.
// The parameters (height, center and width) may be changed at run time. 
//
// The width of the Lorentzian (for the constructors or the <src>setWidth
// </src> function) is always specified in terms of the full width at half
// maximum (FWHM). It is always positive and attempts to set a non-positive
// width will throw an assertion when in debug mode.
//
// The peak height of the Lorentzian can be specified at construction time or
// by using the <src> setHeight </src> function. Alternatively the <src>
// setFlux </src> function can be used to implicitly set the peak height by
// specifying the integrated area under the Lorentzian. The height (or flux)
// can be positive, negative or zero, as this class makes no assumptions on
// what quantity the height represents.
//
// <note role=tip> Changing the width of the Lorentzian will not affect
// its peak height but will change its flux. So you should always set the
// width before setting the flux. </note>
//
// The parameter interface (see 
// <linkto class="FunctionParam">FunctionParam</linkto> class), 
// is used to provide an interface to the
// <linkto module="Fitting">Fitting</linkto> classes. 
//
// There are 3 parameters that are used to describe the Lorentzian:
// <ol>
// <li> The height of the Lorentzian. This is identical to the value 
//      returned using the <src>height()</src> member function.
// <li> The center of the Lorentzian in the x direction. This is identical to
//      the value returned using the <src>center()</src> member function. 
// <li> The width (FWHM) of the Lorentzian. To aid convergence of
//      the non-linear fitting routines this parameter is allowed to be
//      negative. This does not affect the shape of the Lorentzian as the
//      square of the width is used when evaluating the function.
// </ol>
//
// An enumeration for the <src>HEIGHT</src>, <src>WIDTH</src> and
// <src>CENTER</src> parameter index is provided, enabling the setting
// and reading of parameters with the <src>[]</src> operator. The 
// <src>mask()</src> methods can be used to check and set the parameter masks.
//
// This class is in general used implicitly by the <src>Lorentzian1D</src>
// class only.
// </synopsis>

// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    Lorentzian1D<Double> gf(5.0, 25.0, 7);
//    gf(25);            // = 5.0
//    gf.setHeight(1.0);
//    gf[WIDTH](2.0);                
//    gf[CENTER](0.0);
//    gf(1);             // = 0.5*height = 0.5
// </srcblock>
// </example>

// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators and exp() function. Current
//      implementation only tested for real types (and their AutoDiffs).
// </templating>

// <thrown>
//    <li> Assertion in debug mode if attempt is made to set a negative width
//    <li> AipsError if incorrect parameter number specified.
// </thrown>

// <todo asof="2001/08/19">
//   <li> Lorentzians that know about their DFT's could be required eventually.
