Detailed Description

PlanarSurface is an abstract class derived from ParentObject.

PlanarSurface is a pure virtual class to consolodate functions dealing with surface geometry.

Todo:
There is too much functionality in this class that is not common to all derived classes. These members need to be factored out of PlanarSurface.
