| ### Constructors | ||
| The `initialize` methods at each level of inheritance are the constructors. | ||
| Instantiating a derived class will automatically call `initialize` on all ancestor | ||
| classes that implement it, starting with the most distant ancestor all the way to | ||
| and inclucing the derived class in question. | ||
| If you intend to instantiate the base class (`Parabola` in the above) directly | ||
| (_i.e.,_ it is not "abstract"), include the following in the constructor: | ||
| ```javascript | ||
| function Parabola() { | ||
| this.initialize.apply(this, arguments); | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
| To add initialization code to be executed before or after this chain of `initialize` | ||
| calls, you an define methods `preInitialize` and `postInitialize`. | ||
