// .NAME vtkObserverMediator - manage contention for cursors and other resources
// .SECTION Description
// The vtkObserverMediator is a helper class that manages requests for
// cursor changes from multiple interactor observers (e.g. widgets). It keeps
// a list of widgets (and their priorities) and their current requests for
// cursor shape. It then satisfies requests based on widget priority and the
// relative importance of the request (e.g., a lower priority widget
// requesting a particular cursor shape will overrule a higher priority
// widget requesting a default shape).

// .SECTION See Also
// vtkAbstractWidget vtkWidgetRepresentation
