This structure holds controls on the behaviour of the derivatives of the
lofted surfaces in the loft direction at a profile, or the profile direction at
a guide wire (which one is determined by context).  Note that derivative
conditions cannot be applied to either occurrence of a repeated profile.

Used in:

PK_BODY_loft_end_conds_t
PK_BODY_make_lofted_body_o_t

The derivative conditions structure has the following fields.

'curvature_condition'       Specifies the type of constraint to be applied
                            to curvature across the profile or guide.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_natural_c zero curvature is
                            implied and hence the natural loft end condition
                            is applied there. No further clamp conditions are
                            allowed. You cannot use natural curvature on
                            intermediate profiles, periodic lofts or on guide
                            wires.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_unconstrained_c (the default)
                            no condition is imposed explicitly on the
                            curvature. Subsequent clamp conditions are then
                            examined.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamped_c, the curvature is
                            constrained according to the clamp conditions. This
                            may only be used if 'type' is
                            PK_BODY_loft_clamp_face_c or
                            PK_BODY_loft_clamp_vec_face_c.

'type'                      Indicates the type of clamp conditions to be
                            applied to the derivatives of the loft surface
                            across the profile or guide. The selection of
                            clamp condition indicates which of the following
                            fields actually holds the description of
                            constraint.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamp_vector_c the 'vector_clamp'
                            field is examined for the description.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamp_face_c the 'face_clamp'
                            field is examined for the description.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamp_planar_c the 'planar_clamp'
                            field is examined for the description.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamp_vec_face_c both the
                            'vector_clamp' and 'face_clamp' fields are examined
                            for the description.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamp_vec_planar_c both the
                            'vector_clamp' and 'planar_clamp' fields are
                            examined for the description.

                            For PK_BODY_loft_clamp_no_c (the default)
                            no field is examined for the description. This is
                            the only allowed value when 'curvature_condition'
                            is set to PK_BODY_loft_natural_c or if the profile
                            the clamp is to be applied to is repeated.

'vector_clamp'              Holds the first derivative constraint as a
                            collections of derivatives to be matched at each of
                            the vertices of the profile or guide.

'face_clamp'                Specifies a set of faces neighbouring the profile
                            or guide whose derivatives at their boundary, and
                            across the profile or along the guide, must be
                            matched by the loft surface.

'planar_clamp'              Specifies a normal vector that defines a plane
                            for clamping the loft, and a magnitude that
                            controls the size of the clamped derivatives.
