// CLASS DECLARATION (MPxAnimCurveInterpolator)

//! \ingroup  OpenMaya MPx
//! \brief Base Class for User-defined Animation Curve Interpolation Types
/*!
	MPxAnimCurveInterpolator is the base class for user defined Anim Curve Interpolation Types.
	It allows for the creation and evaluation of customized animation curves, in addition to 
	determination of the type ID and name of the curve. The evaluation of an animCurve between 
	two of its keyframes is determined by interpolators (also known as "tangent types") at those 
	keyframes. This class allows for the creation of custom tangent types. Note that the valid 
	type ranges are:

	Types 1 to 18		Maya's built-in tangent types. See MFnAnimCurve::TangentType.
	Types 19 to 26		Custom tangent types which are available to all users, 
						and should only be used internally.
	Types 27 to 63		Maya's built-in tangent types. See MFnAnimCurve::TangentType.
	Types 64 to 32767	Custom tangent types which can be reserved by customers. You can request 
						between 1 to 8 id's per request. Visit <a href="http://mayaid.autodesk.io/">
						Autodesk Maya Developer Tangent Types ID Block Registration</a> to submit
						your request. See also <a href="http://www.autodesk.com/developmaya">Autodesk Developer Network</a>
						for more information.
