//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MPxGeometryIterator)
//
//  This is the base class for user defined geometry iterators.
//  Geometry iterator allow iterating over components in geometry
//  in a geometry independent manner. This base class defines
//  the interface to be used maya when a generic component iteration
//  is required.
//
//  This class is used in conjunction with MPxSurfaceShape to provide
//  an iterator for components in a user defined shape.
//  The main methods to override in this class are point and set point.
//  The reset, isDone, and next methods have a default implementation
//  and should only be overridden if the component being iterator on
//  is not a single indexed component type.
