//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MFnParticleSystem)
//
//  Particle object access class. Intended to be used by the software 
//	renderer for accessing relevant data from the particle object. The 
//	data stored in the particle object is a function of the particle 
//	render type. 
//
//	Safe to call these methods with any render type:
//
//	Method Name		Description
//	================================================================
//	isValid()		data is valid (predicate)
//	renderType()	object render type
//	count()			particle count at current frame
//	----------------------------------------------------------------
//
//
//	Use this table to determine which methods to call based on the
//	render type of the particle object.
//
//	Render Type		Valid Methods		Description
//	================================================================
//	kCloud			position()			particle position
//					radius()			particle radius
//					surfaceShading()	object surface shading value
//					betterIllum()		invoke thick cloud sampling
//					threshold()			object threshold
//					disableCloudAxis()	for internal use; do not call
//	----------------------------------------------------------------
//	kTube			position0()			particle start position
//					position1()			particle end position
//					radius0()			particle start radius
//					radius1()			particle end radius
//					tailSize()			length scale factor
//	----------------------------------------------------------------
//	kBlobby			position()			particle position
//					radius()			particle radius
//					threshold()			object threshold
//	----------------------------------------------------------------
//	kHardware		position()			particle position
//					radius()			particle radius
//	----------------------------------------------------------------
