// .NAME vtkRenderer - abstract specification for renderers
// .SECTION Description
// vtkRenderer provides an abstract specification for renderers. A renderer
// is an object that controls the rendering process for objects. Rendering
// is the process of converting geometry, a specification for lights, and 
// a camera view into an image. vtkRenderer also performs coordinate 
// transformation between world coordinates, view coordinates (the computer
// graphics rendering coordinate system), and display coordinates (the 
// actual screen coordinates on the display device). Certain advanced 
// rendering features such as two-sided lighting can also be controlled.

  // (Note: In previous versions of vtk, this light-tracking
  // functionality was part of the interactors, not the renderer. For
