// A 1-dimensional Dirac delta.

// <synopsis>
// A <src>DiracD</src> is described by a height and a center
// The value is:
// <srcblock>
//      height          (|x-center| == 0.0)
//      0               (|x-center| != 0.0)
// </srcblock>
// The parameters are enumerated by HEIGHT, CENTER. They have
// default values of (1, 0).
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//    DiracDFunction<Double> sf(5.0, 25.0);
//    sf(25);            // = 5.0
// </srcblock>
// </example>
 
// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators
// </templating>
 
// <thrown>
//    <li> AipsError if incorrect parameter number specified.
// </thrown>
