    /** Defines the functionality of a 3D API
        @remarks
            The RenderSystem class provides a base interface
            which abstracts the general functionality of the 3D API
            e.g. Direct3D or OpenGL. Whilst a few of the general
            methods have implementations, most of this class is
            abstract, requiring a subclass based on a specific API
            to be constructed to provide the full functionality.
            Note there are 2 levels to the interface - one which
            will be used often by the caller of the Ogre library,
            and one which is at a lower level and will be used by the
            other classes provided by Ogre. These lower level
            methods are prefixed with '_' to differentiate them.
            The advanced user of the library may use these lower
            level methods to access the 3D API at a more fundamental
            level (dealing direct with render states and rendering
            primitives), but still benefitting from Ogre's abstraction
            of exactly which 3D API is in use.

                as a child of another is therefore given.

                width The width of the new window.
            @param
                height The height of the new window.
            @param
                fullScreen Specify true to make the window full screen
                without borders, title bar or menu bar.

                By default, all rendering windows wait for a vertical blank (when the CRT beam turns off briefly to move
                from the bottom right of the screen back to the top left) before flipping the screen buffers. This ensures

                the monitor, and can slow the frame rate down. You can speed this up by not waiting for the blank, but
                this has the downside of introducing 'tearing' artefacts where part of the previous frame is still displayed
                as the buffers are switched. Speed vs quality, you choose.

            are the amount of each type of light the object reflects (determining

            itself, and how shiny it is. Textures are not dealt with here,

            This method is used by _setMaterial so does not need to be called
            direct if that method is being used.

            @param ambient The amount of ambient (sourceless and directionless)
            light an object reflects. Affected by the colour/amount of ambient light in the scene.
            @param diffuse The amount of light from directed sources that is
            reflected (affected by colour/amount of point, directed and spot light sources)
            @param specular The amount of specular light reflected. This is also
            affected by directed light sources but represents the colour at the
            highlights of the object.
            @param emissive The colour of light emitted from the object. Note that
            this will make an object seem brighter and not dependent on lights in
            the scene, but it will not act as a light, so will not illuminate other
            objects. Use a light attached to the same SceneNode as the object for this purpose.
            @param shininess A value which only has an effect on specular highlights (so
            specular must be non-black). The higher this value, the smaller and crisper the
            specular highlights will be, imitating a more highly polished surface.
            This value is not constrained to 0.0-1.0, in fact it is likely to

            and emissive colours follow the vertex colour of the primitive. When a bit in this field is set

            the stencilling operations will be provided in software, which will NOT be
            fast.
        @par
            Generally hardware stencils are only supported in 32-bit colour modes, because
            the stencil buffer shares the memory of the z-buffer, and in most cards the 
            z-buffer has to be the same depth as the colour buffer. This means that in 32-bit
            mode, 24 bits of the z-buffer are depth and 8 bits are stencil. In 16-bit mode there
            is no room for a stencil (although some cards support a 15:1 depth:stencil option,
            this isn't useful for very much) so 8 bits of stencil are provided in software.
            This can mean that if you use stencilling, your applications may be faster in 
            32-but colour than in 16-bit, which may seem odd to some people.

        /** This method allows you to set all the stencil buffer parameters in one call.
        @remarks
            The stencil buffer is used to mask out pixels in the render target, allowing
            you to do effects like mirrors, cut-outs, stencil shadows and more. Each of
            your batches of rendering is likely to ignore the stencil buffer, 
            update it with new values, or apply it to mask the output of the render.
            The stencil test is:<PRE>
            (Reference Value & Mask) CompareFunction (Stencil Buffer Value & Mask)</PRE>
            The result of this will cause one of 3 actions depending on whether the test fails,
            succeeds but with the depth buffer check still failing, or succeeds with the
            depth buffer check passing too.
        @par
            Unlike other render states, stencilling is left for the application to turn
            on and off when it requires. This is because you are likely to want to change
            parameters between batches of arbitrary objects and control the ordering yourself.
            In order to batch things this way, you'll want to use OGRE's separate render queue
            groups (see RenderQueue) and register a RenderQueueListener to get notifications
            between batches.
        @par
            There are individual state change methods for each of the parameters set using 
            this method. 
            Note that the default values in this method represent the defaults at system 
            start up too.
