// .NAME vtkFixedPointRayCastImage - helper class for a ray cast image
// .SECTION Description
// This is a helper class for storing the ray cast image including the
// underlying data and the size of the image. This class is not intended
// to be used directly - just as an internal class in the
// vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper so that multiple mappers can share
// the same image. This class also stored the ZBuffer (if necessary due
// to intermixed geometry). Perhaps this class could be generalized
// in the future to be used for other ray cast methods other than the
// fixed point method.

// .SECTION see also
// vtkFixedPointVolumeRayCastMapper

  // Description:
  // Set / Get the ImageMemorySize. This is the size in pixels
  // of the Image ivar. This will be a power of two in order
  // to ensure that the texture can be rendered by graphics
  // hardware that requires power of two textures.
  vtkSetVector2Macro( ImageMemorySize, int );
  vtkGetVectorMacro(  ImageMemorySize, int, 2 );

  // Description:
  // Set / Get the size of the image we are actually using. As
  // long as the memory size is big enough, but not too big,
  // we won't bother deleting and re-allocated, we'll just
  // continue to use the memory size we have. This size will
  // always be equal to or less than the ImageMemorySize.
  vtkSetVector2Macro( ImageInUseSize, int );

  // Description:
  // Set / Get the origin of the image. This is the starting
  // pixel within the whole viewport that our Image starts on.
  // That is, we could be generating just a subregion of the
  // whole viewport due to the fact that our volume occupies
  // only a portion of the viewport. The Image pixels will
  // start from this location.

  // Description:

  // mapper. It is stored here for sharing between all mappers
  // that are participating in the creation of this image.

  // Clear the image to (0,0,0,0) for each pixel.

  // Description:
  // Set / Get the size of the ZBuffer in pixels. The zbuffer will
  // be captured for the region of the screen covered by the
  // ImageInUseSize image. However, due to subsampling, the size
  // of the ImageInUseSize image may be smaller than this ZBuffer
  // image which will be captured at screen resolution.

  // Description:
  // Set / Get the origin of the ZBuffer. This is the distance
  // from the lower left corner of the viewport where the ZBuffer
  // started (multiply the ImageOrigin by the ImageSampleDistance)
  // This is the pixel location on the full resolution viewport
  // where the ZBuffer capture will start. These values are used
  // to convert the (x,y) pixel location within the ImageInUseSize
  // image into a ZBuffer location.
  vtkSetVector2Macro( ZBufferOrigin, int );

  // Description:

  // is on in the mapper, and when there are props that have been
  // rendered before the current volume.

  // Description:
  // Get the ZBuffer value corresponding to location (x,y) where (x,y)
  // are indexing into the ImageInUse image. This must be converted to
  // the zbuffer image coordinates. Nearest neighbor value is returned.
  // If UseZBuffer is off, then 1.0 is always returned.

  // with SetZBufferSize, and AllocateZBuffer method should be called
  // before getting the ZBuffer.
