Detailed Description

Base class for objects rendering fields on a fiber bundle via the technique of texture-based volume rendering.

Child classes implement different mapping algorithms, such as from data to color.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_humour

The vitreous humour (British spelling) or vitreous humor (US spelling) is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball of humans and other vertebrates. It is often referred to as the vitreous body or simply "the vitreous".

The vitreous is the transparent, colourless, gelatinous mass that fills the space between the lens of the eye and the retina lining the back of the eye. It is produced by certain retinal cells.
