Detailed Description

class of refinable parameter types.

This is used to categorize all parameters, to be able to modify a complete category of parameters (fix/unfix, set limits,...). The types are organized as a tree.

Parameters should be allocated globally in the heap, so we only use pointers in the interface.

Note:

when modifying (fixing, changing limits) for a given RefParType (ie a 'family' of parameters), it affects all RefinablePar of this type and the parameters belonging to the children of this RefParType. eg fixing for the type "gpRefParTypeScatt" will fix all the derived postionnal, orientationnal, and population parameters for the scatterers.

Remarks:

In the future, why not use a tree with multiple inheritance ?? It would be easy to allow multiple parents... But beware of loops...
