// A 1-dimensional sinc function.

// <synopsis> 
// A <src>Sinc</src> is described by a height, a center and a width
// (halfwidth). The value is:
// <srcblock>
//      let y = (x-center)/width
//      height                              (x == center)
//      height*sin(pi*y)/(pi*y)             (x |= center)
// </srcblock>
// The parameters are enumerated by HEIGHT, CENTER and WIDTH. They have
// default values of (1, 0, 1).
// </synopsis> 
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    SincFunction<Double> sf(5.0, 25.0, 7);
//    sf(25);            // = 5.0
// </srcblock>
// </example>

// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators
// </templating>

// <thrown>
//    <li> AipsError if incorrect parameter number specified.
// </thrown>
