// .NAME vtkRenderState - Context in which a vtkRenderPass will render.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkRenderState is a ligthweight effective class which gather information
// used by a vtkRenderPass to perform its execution.
// .SECTION Implementation Notes
// Get methods are const to enforce that a renderpass cannot modify the
// RenderPass object. It works in conjunction with vtkRenderPass::Render where
// the argument vtkRenderState is const.
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkRenderPass vtkRenderer vtkFrameBufferObject vtkProp
