00053 // The LCExtension class is a specialization of class
00054 // <linkto class=LCRegion>LCRegion</linkto>.
00055 // It makes it possible to extend a LCRegion along straight lines to
00056 // other dimensions. E.g. a circle in the xy-plane can be extended to
00057 // a cylinder in the xyz-space.
00058 // It can be used for a lattice of any dimensionality as long as the
00059 // dimensionality of the (hyper-)extension matches the dimensionality of
00060 // the lattice.
