/**
* This class offers static routines for constructing a variety of sample
* <i>dim</i>-dimensional triangulations. These triangulations may be useful
* for testing new code, or for simply getting a feel for how Regina works.
*
* In higher dimensions, only a handful of triangulations are available
* (in contrast to the 3-dimensional class Example<3>, which offers
* many interesting examples). The authors hope to expand this list
* in future releases of Regina.
*
* The sample triangulations offered here may prove especially useful in
* Regina's scripting interface, where working with pre-existing files
* is more complicated than in the GUI.
*
* For Regina's \ref stddim "standard dimensions", this template is
* specialised and offers many more example triangulations. In order to
* use these specialised classes, you will need to include the corresponding
* headers (e.g., triangulation/example2.h for \a dim = 2, or
* triangulation/example3.h for \a dim = 3).
*
* \python Python does not support templates. Instead this class
* can be used by appending the dimension as a suffix (e.g., Example2
* and Example3 for dimensions 2 and 3).
*
* \tparam dim the dimension of the example triangulations to construct.
* This must be between 2 and 15 inclusive.
*
* \headerfile triangulation/generic.h
*
* \ingroup triangulation
