// CLASS:    MPxNode

//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MPxNode)
//
// MPxNode is the the parent class for user defined
// dependency nodes.  A dependency node is an object that resides in the 
// dependency graph.  It computes output attributes based on a set of input 
// attributes.  When an input changes, the compute method is called for each
// dependent output.
//
// The dependency graph is made up of nodes that have connections between  
// their attributes.  When an attribute changes, recomputation propagates
// through the graph until all affected values have been updated.
//
// When writing a dependency node, there is a very basic rule that should
// be observed.  The outputs should be calculated only using the values of
// the inputs.  All information about the world outside the node should 
// come from input attributes.  If this rule is not observed, then 
// the results may be unpredictable.
