// Dependency Graph Node: pointOnSubd
//
// pointOnSubdNode
// 
// Produces dependency graph node pointOnSubd
// 
// This node is a simple example of how to query subdivision surface as an
// input to a dependency node.  This node takes a subdivision surface and a
// parameter point on subdivision surface and outputs the position and the
// normal of the surface at that point.
// 
// One of the inputs for this node is called "subd".  Subdivision surface
// shape nodes ("subdiv") have two compatible output attributes that you
// can use as inputs for pointOnSubd node - outSubdiv and worldSubdiv.
// 
// Another four numerical inputs are needed to specify the parameter point
// on the subdivision surface.  The two integer values ("faceFirst" and
// "faceSecond") specify a face.  These two values are the same ones that
// you see as a part of the selection description when you select a
// subdivision surface face.  The two floating point values ("uValue" and
// "vValue") specify the position within that face.
// 
// A boolean attribute "relative" specifies if the "uValue" and "vValue"
// are given in the 0-1 range ("relative" is true) or in the U-V range of
// the specified subdivision surface face ("relative" is false).
// 
// To run this example, create a subdivision surface (converting from a
// polygon, for example), create another piece of geometry (NURBS cone, for
// example) and group the subdivision surface and the other geometry.  Your
// other geometry should be oriented Y-up.  Now, select the other geometry,
// followed by a single face on the subdivision surface.  A face at any
// level is available.  With both of those items selected, type:
// 
// connectObjectToPointOnSubd
// 
// and the object will "stick" the the middle of the subdivision surface
// face.  You can position it elsewhere using the attribute editor for the
// newly created pointOnSubd node and changing the U and V parameters.
// 
// An actual MEL running example is provided in the
// "connectObjectToPointOnSubd.mel" script file.  You need to cut and
// paste into the script editor and run it.
