///btHeightfieldTerrainShape simulates a 2D heightfield terrain
/**
  The caller is responsible for maintaining the heightfield array; this
  class does not make a copy.

  The heightfield can be dynamic so long as the min/max height values
  capture the extremes (heights must always be in that range).

  The local origin of the heightfield is assumed to be the exact
  center (as determined by width and length and height, with each
  axis multiplied by the localScaling).

  \b NOTE: be careful with coordinates.  If you have a heightfield with a local
  min height of -100m, and a max height of +500m, you may be tempted to place it
  at the origin (0,0) and expect the heights in world coordinates to be
  -100 to +500 meters.
  Actually, the heights will be -300 to +300m, because bullet will re-center
  the heightfield based on its AABB (which is determined by the min/max
  heights).  So keep in mind that once you create a btHeightfieldTerrainShape
  object, the heights will be adjusted relative to the center of the AABB.  This
  is different to the behavior of many rendering engines, but is useful for
  physics engines.

  Most (but not all) rendering and heightfield libraries assume upAxis = 1
  (that is, the y-axis is "up").  This class allows any of the 3 coordinates
  to be "up".  Make sure your choice of axis is consistent with your rendering
  system.

  The heightfield heights are determined from the data type used for the
  heightfieldData array.  

   - PHY_UCHAR: height at a point is the uchar value at the
       grid point, multipled by heightScale.  uchar isn't recommended
       because of its inability to deal with negative values, and
       low resolution (8-bit).

   - PHY_SHORT: height at a point is the short int value at that grid
       point, multipled by heightScale.

   - PHY_FLOAT: height at a point is the float value at that grid
       point.  heightScale is ignored when using the float heightfield
       data type.

  Whatever the caller specifies as minHeight and maxHeight will be honored.
  The class will not inspect the heightfield to discover the actual minimum
  or maximum heights.  These values are used to determine the heightfield's
  axis-aligned bounding box, multiplied by localScaling.

  For usage and testing see the TerrainDemo.
