// \brief  Provides an abstract interface to an OpenGL rendering state.

// \verbatim
// Modifications
// 20 October  1999 pcp@robots. removed derivation from tableau.
// 20 October  1999 fsm. detach()ed the adaptor from the tableau in
//                  the destructor to avoid leaving a dangling pointer in the
//                  tableau.
// 28 October  1999 fsm. added more menu support (as agreed with pcp).
//  7 January  1999 fsm. new observer/observable method of getting
//                  redraw from tableau to adaptor.
//  2 February 1999 fsm. more overlay documentation.
// 23-AUG-2000      Marko Bacic,Oxford RRG - Added post_message
// 31 August   2000 u97mb@robots. Support for mfc acceleration
// 07-SEP-2000      Marko Bacic,Oxford RRG - Added pure virtual method "draw"
// 20 Sept     2000 capes@robots. added post_destroy() method.
// Feb.2002         Peter Vanroose - brief doxygen comment placed on single line
// 08-OCT-2002 K.Y.McGaul - Added use_double_buffering.
// 23-DEC-2002 J.L.Mundy - Added access for the window
// 23-DEC-2002 A.Perera - Removed access for the window. It doesn't belong at this level.

// Provides an abstract interface to an OpenGL rendering state (context)
// producing events. Events from adaptor (eg. when someone presses a
// mouse button over the window) will be dispatched to the associated
// vgui_tableau in a vgui_event structure. Draw requests will be dispatched
// to the tableau as vgui_DRAW and vgui_DRAW_OVERLAY events.
//
// Note. When the set_tableau() method is called, the adaptor will attach itself
// to the tableau as an observer. The tableau may detach that observer if it so
// chooses, but that would be a bad idea as it would stop post()s from tableaux
// reaching the adaptor.
