// </prerequisite>
//
// <synopsis>
// This class is used where the world and pixel values are determined by a
// lookup table. For fractional pixel values, a linear interpolation is used. 
// The values returned for, e.g., the increment, are based on 
// the average of the whole table.  At present,
// the values must either increase or decrease monotonically.
// </synopsis>
//
// <note role=caution>
// All pixels coordinates are zero relative.
// </note>
//
// <example>
// Let's make a non-linear TabularCoordinate  and convert a pixel
// value to world (which will use linear interpolation)
// <srcblock>
//    Vector<Double> pixelValues(3); 
//    Vector<Double> worldValues(3); 
//    pixelValues(0) = 122.0;
//    pixelValues(1) = 300.0;
//    pixelValues(2) = 6524.0;
//    worldValues(0) = 1.1e6;
//    worldValues(1) = 2.1e6;
//    worldValues(2) = 2.2e6;
//
//    String unit("km");
//    String axisName("length");
//
//    TabularCoordinate tc(pixelValues, worldValues, unit, axisName);
//
//    Double world, pixel;
//    pixel = 200.12;
//    if (!tc.toWorld(world, pixel)) {
//      cerr << "Error : " << tc.errorMessage() << endl;
//    } else {
//      cerr << "pixel, world = " << pixel << ", " << world << endl;
//    }
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// This class was motivated by the need for an irregular axis, such as a collection
// of frequencies.    For example, the SpectralCoordinate class contains a TabularCoordinate.
// </motivation>
//
//
// <thrown>

// <todo asof="1997/07/12">
// <li> Allow interpolations other than linear.
