  // Given a set of intersections (defined by the three arrays), compute
  // the peicewise integration of the array in front to back order.
  // /c intersectionLengths holds the lengths of each peicewise segment.
  // /c nearIntersections and /c farIntersections hold the scalar values at
  // the front and back of each segment.  /c color should contain the RGBA
  // value of the volume in front of the segments passed in, and the result
  // will be placed back into /c color.
