/**
 * @brief G4PVDivision represents many touchable detector elements differing
 * only in their positioning. The elements' positions are calculated by means
 * of a simple linear formula.
 * 
 * Division may occur along:
 *
 * o Cartesian axes (kXAxis,kYAxis,kZAxis)
 *
 *   The divisions, of specified width have coordinates of
 *   form (-width*(nReplicas-1)*0.5+n*width,0,0) where n=0.. nReplicas-1
 *   for the case of kXAxis, and are unrotated.
 *
 * o Radial axis (cylindrical polar) (kRho)
 *
 *   The divisions are cons/tubs sections, centred on the origin
 *   and are unrotated.
 *   They have radii of width*n+offset to width*(n+1)+offset
 *                      where n=0..nReplicas-1
 *
 * o Phi axis (cylindrical polar) (kPhi)
 *   The divisions are `phi sections' or wedges, and of cons/tubs form
 *   They have phi of offset+n*width to offset+(n+1)*width where
 *   n=0..nReplicas-1
