8.2 coords -- A structured collection of 3D coordinates.

This module defines the Coords class, which is the basic data structure in pyFormex to store coordinates of points in a 3D space.

The coords module implements a data class for storing large sets of 3D coordinates and provides a extensive set of methods for transforming these coordinates. The Coords class is used by other classes, such as Formex and Surface, which thus inherit the same transformation capabilities. In future, other geometrical data models may (and should) also derive from the Coords class. While the user will mostly use the higher level classes, he might occasionally find good reason to use the Coords class directly as well.
