// Class BGeometryBase
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  A BGeometryBase can be considered a 3-dimensional space line parameterised by
//  the distance along the line (arc length) s. All Geometries have an exit
//  and entrance plane and an origin. At any position s, a BGeometryBase can define
//  a unique 3-d rectilinear coordinate frame whose origin is on the geometry
//  at s, and whose local z-axis is tangential to the geometry at s. The
//  orientation of the local x- and y-axes are arbitrarilly specified by
//  the BGeometryBase. A special frame, referred to as the BGeometryBase Local Frame
//  (or Local Frame when it is unambiguous) is specified at s = origin. The
//  Local Frame is is used to define that frame about which translations and
//  rotations can be applied to the BGeometryBase. The entrance and exit planes
//  are defined as those x-y planes (z=0, s=constant) in the frames defined
//  at s=entrance and s=exit.
