        /** Class providing a much simplified interface to generating manual
                objects with custom geometry.
        @remarks
                Building one-off geometry objects manually usually requires getting
                down and dirty with the vertex buffer and vertex declaration API, 
                which some people find a steep learning curve. This class gives you 
                a simpler interface specifically for the purpose of building a one-off
                3D object simply and quickly. Note that if you intend to instance your
                object you will still need to become familiar with the Mesh class. 
        @par
                This class draws heavily on the interface for OpenGL 
                immediate-mode (glBegin, glVertex, glNormal etc), since this
                is generally well-liked by people. There are a couple of differences
                in the results though - internally this class still builds hardware 
                buffers which can be re-used, so you can render the resulting object
                multiple times without re-issuing all the same commands again. 
                Secondly, the rendering is not immediate, it is still queued just like
                all OGRE objects. This makes this object more efficient than the 
                equivalent GL immediate-mode commands, so it's feasible to use it for
                large objects if you really want to.
        @par
                To construct some geometry with this object:
                  -# If you know roughly how many vertices (and indices, if you use them)
                     you're going to submit, call estimateVertexCount and estimateIndexCount.
                         This is not essential but will make the process more efficient by saving
                         memory reallocations.
                  -# Call begin() to begin entering data
                  -# For each vertex, call position(), normal(), textureCoord(), colour()
                     to define your vertex data. Note that each time you call position()
                         you start a new vertex. Note that the first vertex defines the 
                         components of the vertex - you can't add more after that. For example
                         if you didn't call normal() in the first vertex, you cannot call it
                         in any others. You ought to call the same combination of methods per
                         vertex.
                  -# If you want to define triangles (or lines/points) by indexing into the vertex list, 
                         you can call index() as many times as you need to define them.
                         If you don't do this, the class will assume you want triangles drawn
                         directly as defined by the vertex list, ie non-indexed geometry. Note
                         that stencil shadows are only supported on indexed geometry, and that
                         indexed geometry is a little faster; so you should try to use it.
                  -# Call end() to finish entering data.
                  -# Optionally repeat the begin-end cycle if you want more geometry 
                        using different rendering operation types, or different materials
            After calling end(), the class will organise the data for that section
                internally and make it ready to render with. Like any other 
                MovableObject you should attach the object to a SceneNode to make it 
                visible. Other aspects like the relative render order can be controlled
                using standard MovableObject methods like setRenderQueueGroup.
        @par
                Note that like all OGRE geometry, triangles should be specified in 
                anti-clockwise winding order (whether you're doing it with just
                vertices, or using indexes too). That is to say that the front of the
                face is the one where the vertices are listed in anti-clockwise order.

                        updates. However if you do want to modify the contents from time
                        to time you can do so by clearing and re-specifying the data.
