/** 
   TUnuranContDist class describing one dimensional continuous distribution. 
   It is used by TUnuran to generate random numbers according to this distribution via 
   TUnuran::Sample()
   
   The class can be constructed from a function (TF1) representing the probability density 
   function of the distribution. Optionally the derivative of the pdf can also be passed. 

   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), indipendently of the 
   range set in the TF1 class used to construct the distribution. 

   In addition, some UNURAN methods requires extra information (cdf function, distribution mode, 
   area of pdf, etc...). This information can as well be set. 
   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.

      (and its derivative) the log (and the derivative of the log) of the pdf. 
      By default the distribution has not domain set (it is defined between [-inf,+inf], no mode, no pdf area and no 
      cdf explicity defined. UnuRan, if needed, can compute some of this quantities, but the user if he knows them can 
      set them in order to speed up the algorithm. For example in case of the Cdf, if the user has not set it, a numerical 
      integration algorithm is used to estimate the Cdf from the Pdf. 
      In case an algorithm requires only the Cdf (no Pdf), an empty distribution can be constructed and then the user must 
      set afterwards the Cdf.
