// .NAME vtkPainter - Abstract class for drawing poly data.
//
// .SECTION Description
// This defines the interface for a Painter. Painters are helpers used
// by Mapper to perform the rendering. The mapper sets up a chain of painters
// and passes the render request to the painter. Every painter may have a 
// delegate painter to which the render request is forwarded. The Painter may
// modify the request or data before passing it to the delegate painter. 
// All the information to control the rendering must be passed to the painter
// using the vtkInformation object. A concrete painter may read special keys
// from the vtkInformation object and affect the rendering.
//

  // Description:
  // Keys used to specify control the behaviour of the painter.
  // When on, the painter assumes that the poly data changes infrequently.
  // It is thus more likely to take time and memory to build auxiliary data
  // structures for faster frame rates.  Is off by default.

  // Description:
  // Keys used to specify control the behaviour of the painter.
  // When on, the painter avoids using more memory than it has to.  Thus,
  // auxiliary data structures for faster rendering may not be built.  Is off
  // by default. 
  static vtkInformationIntegerKey* CONSERVE_MEMORY();
 
  // Description:
  // Keys used to specify control the behaviour of the painter.
  // When off, the painter may make approximations that will make the rendering
  // go faster but may degrade image quality.  Is on by default.

  // Description:
  // Generates rendering primitives of appropriate type(s). Multiple types 
  // of primitives can be requested by or-ring the primitive flags.

  // deletagate painter and then calls RenderInternal().

  // The parameter window could be used to determine which graphic
  // resources to release. 
  // The call is propagated to the delegate painter, if any.

  // this->DelegatePainter. Subclasses must not override this method,

  // this to the argument painter. The method passes
  // the information only if it has changed.

  // Description:
  // Some subclasses may need to do some preprocessing
  // before the actual rendering can be done eg. build effecient
  // representation for the data etc. This should be done here.
  // This method get called after the ProcessInformation()
  // but before RenderInternal().

  // Description:
  // Performs the actual rendering. Subclasses may override this method.
