/**
 * @class   vtkSubCommunicator
 * @brief   Provides communication on a process group.
 *
 *
 *
 * This class provides an implementation for communicating on process groups.
 * In general, you should never use this class directly.  Instead, use the
 * vtkMultiProcessController::CreateSubController method.
 *
 *
 * @bug
 * Because all communication is delegated to the original communicator,
 * any error will report process ids with respect to the original
 * communicator, not this communicator that was actually used.
 *
 * @sa
 * vtkCommunicator, vtkMultiProcessController
 *
 * @par Thanks:
 * This class was originally written by Kenneth Moreland (kmorel@sandia.gov)
 * from Sandia National Laboratories.
