// .NAME vtkAnimationCue - a seqin an animation.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkAnimationCue and vtkAnimationScene provide the framework to support
// animations in VTK. vtkAnimationCue represents an entity that changes/
// animates with time, while vtkAnimationScene represents scene or setup 
// for the animation, which consists on individual cues or other scenes.
//
// A cue has three states: UNINITIALIZED, ACTIVE and INACTIVE.
// UNINITIALIZED represents an point in time before the start time of the cue.
// The cue is in ACTIVE state at a point in time between start time and end time
// for the cue. While, beyond the end time, it is in INACTIVE state.
// When the cue enters the ACTIVE state, StartAnimationCueEvent is fired. This 
// event may be handled to initialize the entity to be animated.
// When the cue leaves the ACTIVE state, EndAnimationCueEvent is fired, which 
// can be handled to cleanup after having run the animation.
// For every request to render during the ACTIVE state, AnimationCueTickEvent is
// fired, which must be handled to perform the actual animation.

  // INACTIVE state, the EndEvent is triggered.

  // whether the cue entered Active state or quit active state respectively.

  // (when in Relative time mode) or is normalized
  // over the span of the container Scene (when in Normalized time mode).
  // deltatime is the time since last call to Tick. deltatime also can be in seconds
  // relative to the start of the container Scene or normalized depending upon the
  // cue's Time mode.
