/**
   TUnuranMultiContDist class describing multi dimensional continuous distributions.
   It is used by TUnuran to generate a set of random numbers according to this distribution via
   TUnuran::Sample(double *).
   The class can be constructed from a multi-dimensional function (TF1 pointer, which can be actually also a
   TF2 or a TF3).
   It provides a method to set the domain of the distribution ( SetDomain ) which will correspond to the range
   of the generated random numbers. By default the domain is [(-inf,-inf,...)(+inf,+inf,...)], indipendently of the
   range set in the TF1 class used to construct the distribution.

   The derivatives of the pdf which are used by some UNURAN methods are estimated numerically in the
   Derivative() method. Some extra information (like distribution mode) can be set using SetMode.
   Some methods require instead of the pdf the log of the pdf.
   This can also be controlled by setting a flag when constructing this class.
