% Package pgfplots, library for higher order patch plots.
% It contains advanced patch plots like quadratic triangles,
% biquadratic quadrilaterals, coons patches and others.
% The basic implementation for patches supports already line, triangle
% and rectangle (=2 triangles) patches.

	% NOTES:
	% In general, a Bezier spline C:[0,1] -> \R of order n fulfills
	% C'(0) = n ( P_1 - P_0 ),
	% C'(1) = n ( P_n - P_{n-1} ).
	% For n=3 and given P_0 and P_3, I can directly compute P_1 and P_2 once I know
	% the derivatives at t=0 and t=1.

		% ah. We have view depth. Use it!
		% The idea here is as follows.
		% According to pdf standard, the COONS Shading is
		% generated in the unit cube and then mapped to the
		% shading. If u,v in [0,1] are the coordinates in the unit
		% cube, pixel values for v=1 overwrite values for v=0.
		% If pixel values have the same v, u=1 overwrites u=0.
		% In other words, the loop is
		% for v= 0 to Nv
		% 	for u = 0 to Nu
		% 	   shade pixel for (u,v)
		%
		% BB-------CC   <--v=1
		%  |        |
		%  |        |
		%  |        |
		% AA-------DD   <--v=0
		%  |        |
		%  u=0      u=1
		%
		%
		% IDEA: re-order the sequence of vertices such that z
		% buffering is obtained.
		%
		% APPROACH:
		%  the edge BB--CC collapses into just one point, namely
		%  the FOREGROUND point (i.e. it is drawn on top of
		%  everything else).
		%
		%  The AA point is the second nearest foreground point.
		%  The sequence is chosen such that AA,BB is the first
		%  edge.
		%
		%  What is to do (besides determining the vertices for AA
		%  and BB)? Well, make sure, that we can arrange them in
		%  the desired order. This involves a periodic "next vertex"
		%  algorithm which might either go forward
		%  or backward.
		%
		% sort according to depth.
		% To do so, prepare macros \PA,\PB,\PC for use in
		% \pgfplotsutilsortthree. FORMAT:

		\begingroup
		%
		% An early version of this shader used Coons patch shadings
		% (which provides coordinates only for the 9 boundary
		% vertices, not for the inner vertices). That is a little bit
		% simpler than what you see in the following lines of code: a
		% transformation to a tensor bezier shading.
		%
		% What we need is to map the 3x3 data from lagrangrian
		% (interpolation) representation to 4x4 cubic bezier - and
		% handle the four INNER nodes correctly.
		%
		% The algorithm to convert from 1d curves with 3 point langrange to 4 point
		% bezier is well-known and relatively simple. Fortunately, the
		% extension to 3x3 -> 4x4 can be boiled down to a successive
		% application of the 1d algorithm - applied to horizontal and
		% vertical lines in the data matrizes.
		%
		% NOTE: the algorithm in the following lines results in
		% EXACTLY THE SAME four cubic boundary curves as the approach
		% in 'fill path'. The only difference is that it also does the
		% right thing for the inner node.
		%
		% STEP 1: ensure that the patch's coordinates are streamed in
		% a sequence which is compatible with the DEPTH of the
		% corners.
		%
		% we use
		% \pgfplotspatchclass@rect@to@coonspatch@findshadingsequence@for@depth
		% which works for bilinear, biquadratic, and bicubic
		\pgfplotspatchclass@rect@to@coonspatch@findshadingsequence@for@depth
			{pgfplotspatchclass@biquad@}{\Pcur}{\Pnextseq}%
		%
		% STEP 2:
		% now, translate the result into our matrix form.
		% This means to (a) identify the FIRST point which needs to be
		% streamed (it is stored in \Pcur as 'A', 'B', 'C', or 'D')
		% and (b) keep in mind that we have to take care of the
		% sequence in which points are streamed ("forward" means to
		% rotate the matrix elements and "backward" means to transpose
		% the "forward" result).
