#  COMPONENT: cloud - represents the mesh for a cloud of points
#
#  This object represents the mesh for a cloud of points in an XML
#  description of a device.  It simplifies the process of extracting
#  data that represent the mesh.

# USAGE: Rappture::Cloud::fetch <xmlobj> <path>

# a particular <path> in the <xmlobj>.  When the client is done with
# the cloud, he calls "release" to decrement the reference count.
# When the cloud is no longer needed, it is cleaned up automatically.

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# USAGE: Rappture::Cloud::release <obj>
#

# previously by the "fetch" proc.  This decrements the reference
# count for the cloud and destroys the object when it is no longer
# in use.
