31// Class G4VIntersectionLocator
32//
33// class description:
34//
35// Base class for the calculation of the intersection point with a boundary
36// when PropagationInField is used.
37// Gives possibility to choose the method of intersection; concrete locators
38// implemented are: G4SimpleLocator, G4MultiLevelLocator, G4BrentLocator.
39//
40// Key Method: EstimateIntersectionPoint()
