+//       Class : GeoMipTerrain
+// Description : GeoMipTerrain, meaning Panda3D GeoMipMapping, can convert
+//               a heightfield image into a 3D terrain, consisting
+//               of several GeomNodes. It uses the GeoMipMapping
+//                algorithm, or Geometrical MipMapping, based on
+//               the LOD (Level of Detail) algorithm. For more
+//               information about the GeoMipMapping algoritm, see
+//               this paper, written by Willem H. de Boer:
