/**
\brief A height field class.
Height fields work in a similar way as triangle meshes specified to act as
height fields, with some important differences:
Triangle meshes can be made of nonuniform geometry, while height fields are
regular, rectangular grids. This means that with PxHeightField, you sacrifice
flexibility in return for improved performance and decreased memory consumption.
In local space rows extend in X direction, columns in Z direction and height in Y direction.
Like Convexes and TriangleMeshes, HeightFields are referenced by shape instances
(see #PxHeightFieldGeometry, #PxShape).
To avoid duplicating data when you have several instances of a particular
height field differently, you do not use this class to represent a
height field object directly. Instead, you create an instance of this height field
via the PxHeightFieldGeometry and PxShape classes.
Creation
To create an instance of this class call PxPhysics::createHeightField() or
PxCooking::createHeightField(const PxHeightFieldDesc&, PxInsertionCallback&).
To delete it call release(). This is only possible
once you have released all of its PxHeightFiedShape instances.

\note Modified samples are constrained to the same height quantization range as the original heightfield.
Source samples that are out of range of target heightfield will be clipped with no error.
PhysX does not keep a mapping from the heightfield to heightfield shapes that reference it.
Call PxShape::setGeometry on each shape which references the height field, to ensure that internal data structures are updated to reflect the new geometry.
Please note that PxShape::setGeometry does not guarantee correct/continuous behavior when objects are resting on top of old or new geometry.
