PointArray -- a container for solutions

Description

PointArray is a data structure that organizes the solutions found by a solver. Each HomotopyNode object V has an associated PointArray accessed via V.PartialSols. A "fingerprinting" scheme allows for equality of points to be checked quickly.

Methods that use an object of class PointArray :

appendPoint(PointArray,AbstractPoint) -- see appendPoint -- append a point at the end of a PointArray
appendPoints(PointArray,List) -- see appendPoints -- append a list of points at the end of a PointArray
indices(PointArray) -- returns indices of a PointArray
isMember(AbstractPoint,PointArray) -- test point membership in a PointArray
isMember(AbstractPoint,PointArray,FunctionClosure) (missing documentation)
length(PointArray) -- number of items stored in a PointArray
net(PointArray) -- pretty printing

For the programmer

The object PointArray is a type, with ancestor classes MutableHashTable < HashTable < Thing.
