/**
 * @class   vtkRenderer
 * @brief   abstract specification for renderers
 *
 * 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.
