// .NAME vtkPVLODActor - an actor that supports multiple levels of detail
// .SECTION Description
// vtkPVLODActor  is a very simple version of vtkLODActor.  Both
// vtkLODActor and vtkLODProp3D can get confused, and substitute
// LOD mappers when they are not needed.  This just has two mappers:
// full res and LOD, and this actor knows which is which.

// .SECTION see also
// vtkActor vtkRenderer vtkLODProp3D vtkLODActor

  // This causes the actor to be rendered. It, in turn, will render the actor's

  // Description:
  // This method is used internally by the rendering process.
  // We overide the superclass method to properly set the estimated render time.

  // Description:
  // Release any graphics resources that are being consumed by this actor.
  // The parameter window could be used to determine which graphic
  // resources to release.
  void ReleaseGraphicsResources(vtkWindow *);

  // Description:
  // This sets the low res input.
  virtual void SetLODMapper(vtkMapper*);

  // Description:
  // This is a bit of a hack.  This returns the last mapper used to render.
  // It does this so that compositing can descide if anything was actually renderered.

  // Description:
  // When this objects gets modified, this method also modifies the object.

  // Shallow copy of an LOD actor. Overloads the virtual vtkProp method.
