// Class G4BREPSolidPCone
//
// Class description:
//
//  The polyconical solid G4BREPSolidPCone is a shape defined by a set of 
//  inner and outer conical or cylindrical surface sections and two planes 
//  perpendicular to the Z axis. Each conical surface is defined by its 
//  radius at two different planes perpendicular to the Z-axis. Inner and 
//  outer conical surfaces are defined using common Z planes:
//
//  G4BREPSolidPCone( const G4String& name,
//                          G4double start_angle,
//                          G4double opening_angle,        
//                          G4int    num_z_planes,
