// <prerequisite>
//# Classes you should understand before using this one.
//   <li> <linkto class=IPosition>IPosition</linkto>
// </prerequisite>

// <etymology>
// TSMShape handles the shapes for the Tiled Storage Manager.
// </etymology>

// <synopsis> 
// TSMShape is an extension of class
// <linkto class=IPosition>IPosition</linkto>
// to handle shapes.
// It contains some precalculated values to speed up the calculation
// of an array offset from an array index (and vice-versa).
// </synopsis> 

// <motivation>
// The Tiled Hypercube Storage Manager is heavily using array shapes
// and determining offsets from array indices. This class makes these
// calculations more efficient.
// </motivation>

// <todo asof="$DATE:$">
//  <li> Integrate in a class like LatticeLayout.
// </todo>
