// Class description:
//
// This is an Abstract Base class for the representation of positioned volume.  
// The volume is placed within a mother volume,  relative to its coordinate 
// system.  Either a single positioned volume or many positioned volume can 
// be represented by a particular G4VPhysicalVolume.

// History:
// 09.11.99 J.Apostolakis  Added GetObjectRotationValue() method & redid comments.
// 28.08.96 P.Kent Replaced transform by rotmat + vector
// 25.07.96 P.Kent Modified interface for new `Replica' capable geometry 
// 24.07.95 P.Kent First non-stub version
