/* @file  pmModelClass.h
 *
 * The object model function types are desined to allow for the flexible addition of new
 * object models. Every object model, with parameters represented by pmModel, has an
 * associated set of functions which provide necessary support operations.  A These
 * functions allow the programmer to select the approriate function or property for a
 * specific object model class.
 *
 * Every model instance belongs to a class of models, defined by the value of the
 * pmModelType type entry. Various functions need access to information about each of the
 * models. Some of this information varies from model to model, and may depend on the
 * current parameter values or other data quantities. In order to keep the code from
 * requiring the information about each model to be coded into the low-level fitting
 * routines, we define a collection of functions which allow us to abstract this type of
 * model-dependent information. These generic functions take the model type and return the
 * corresponding function pointer for the specified model. Each model is defined by
 * creating this collection of specific functions, and placing them in a single file for
 * each model. We define the following structure to carry the collection of information
 * about the models.
