patch with a incomplete hack to fix and lots of comments

[carl.anderson@…]

apply the patch to make SubgraphDepthLocater more chatty

Notice that the LineSegments pushed back into the stabbedSegments list are NOT the same

as the values retrieved from the list

Need to fix this by adding a deep copy to the constructor for DepthSegment


bash-3.2$ XMLTester -v u5small.xml
 SubgraphDepthLocater::findStabbedSegments:  evaluate segment 0 (215 1191 1620 1203)  segment above or below stabbing line, skipping 
 SubgraphDepthLocater::findStabbedSegments:  evaluate segment 1 (1620 1203 1483 0)      depth: 1  right:1, left:0 swapped:1
     push back: (LINESEGMENT(1483 0,1620 1203) 1)
 SubgraphDepthLocater::findStabbedSegments:  evaluate segment 2 (1483 0 215 1191)      depth: 0  right:1, left:0 swapped:0
     push back: (LINESEGMENT(1483 0,215 1191) 0)
 SubgraphDepthLocater::DepthSegmentLessThen LINESEGMENT(1483 0,215 1191):0  LINESEGMENT(1483 0,215 1191):1 == 0
 SubgraphDepthLocater::getDepth()
   found these stabbed segments
    (0: LINESEGMENT(1483 0,215 1191) 0)
    (1: LINESEGMENT(1483 0,215 1191) 1)

SubgraphDepthLocater::getDepth(485 185): 0

[carl.anderson@…]

Issue was that DepthSegment was not createing a copy of the LineSegment and was only cachign the pointer passed.

Except that findStabbedSegments was repeatedly initializing DepthSegments using the same var pointer.

This patch causes a copy of the LineSegment to be made.
Other corrective techniques exist.
