// .NAME vtkSlicerVolumeTextureMapper3D - volume render with 3D texture mapping

// .SECTION Description
// vtkSlicerVolumeTextureMapper3D renders a volume using 3D texture mapping. 
// This class is actually an abstract superclass - with all the actual
// work done by vtkSlicerOpenGLVolumeTextureMapper3D. 
// 
// This mappers currently supports:
//
// - any data type as input
// - one component, or two or four non-independent components
// - composite blending
// - intermixed opaque geometry
// - multiple volumes can be rendered if they can
//   be sorted into back-to-front order (use the vtkFrustumCoverageCuller)
// 
// This mapper does not support:
// - more than one independent component
// - maximum intensity projection
// 
// Internally, this mapper will potentially change the resolution of the
// input data. The data will be resampled to be a power of two in each
// direction, and also no greater than 128*256*256 voxels (any aspect) 
// for one or two component data, or 128*128*256 voxels (any aspect)
// for four component data. The limits are currently hardcoded after 
// a check using the GL_PROXY_TEXTURE3D because some graphics drivers 
// were always responding "yes" to the proxy call despite not being
// able to allocate that much texture memory.
//
// Currently, calculations are computed using 8 bits per RGBA channel.
// In the future this should be expanded to handle newer boards that
// can support 15 bit float compositing.
//
// This mapper supports two main families of graphics hardware:
// nvidia and ATI. There are two different implementations of
// 3D texture mapping used - one based on nvidia's GL_NV_texture_shader2
// and GL_NV_register_combiners2 extension, and one based on
// ATI's GL_ATI_fragment_shader (supported also by some nvidia boards)
// To use this class in an application that will run on various 
// hardware configurations, you should have a back-up volume rendering
// method. You should create a vtkSlicerVolumeTextureMapper3D, assign its
// input, make sure you have a current OpenGL context (you've rendered
// at least once), then call IsRenderSupported with a vtkVolumeProperty 
// as an argument. This method will return 0 if the input has more than
// one independent component, or if the graphics hardware does not
// support the set of required extensions for using at least one of
// the two implemented methods (nvidia or ati)
//
