/**
 * \class MeshFunctionBase
 * \ingroup QEMeshModifierFunctions
 * \brief Base class for mesh function object modifiers.
 *
 * MeshFunctionBase is the base class for itkQE function objects specialised
 * in Mesh "small" (reduced in range) modification.
 * Subclasses of itk::FunctionBase cannot modify their InputType since
 * the signature of their Evaluate( const InputType& ) method guarantees it.
 * Consider a method that modifies (the geometry, the connectivity or both)
 * a mesh.
 * For large modifications of this mesh we follow the classical itk Filter
 * schema, which implies duplicating the mesh which can be space consuming.
 * But for small modifications (think of the Euler operators) that an
 * algorithm needs to apply many times, this systematic duplication can
 * be daunting.
 * MeshFunctionBase thus offers a leightweight alternative to itk Filter.
 * Subclasses of MeshFunctionBase, which should override Evaluate(), are
 * function objects that apply reduced and localised modifications
 * (geometry, or connectivity) on the InputType mesh.
 *
 * This class is template over the mesh type (to be modified) and
 * the output (usually a created/deleted vertex or face) type.
