Subject: Re: *MOPER with beta MAP function...

The procedure looks for each point in all possible triangles
(tetrahedrons), and if it
does not fall inside or on the edge (face) of any triangle (tetrahedron), it
assumes that it is outside the region.
Thus there is no fast way of determining if a point is 'out of bounds'.
What it does to the out of bounds values could be modified.
Possibilities include:
1. Nearest edge value
2. Zero
3. Extrapolated value

Comments?
