// .NAME vtkCoincidentTopologyResolutionPainter - painter that resolves 
// conicident topology.
// .SECTION Description
// Provides the ability to shift the z-buffer to resolve coincident topology. 
// For example, if you'd like to draw a mesh with some edges a different color, 
// and the edges lie on the mesh, this feature can be useful to get nice 
// looking lines.

  // Description:
  // Set/Get a global flag that controls whether coincident topology (e.g., a 
  // line on top of a polygon) is shifted to avoid z-buffer resolution (and 
  // hence rendering problems). If not off, there are two methods to choose 
  // from. PolygonOffset uses graphics systems calls to shift polygons, but 
  // does not distinguish vertices and lines from one another. ShiftZBuffer 
  // remaps the z-buffer to distinguish vertices, lines, and polygons, but 
  // does not always produce acceptable results. If you use the ShiftZBuffer 
  // approach, you may also want to set the ResolveCoincidentTopologyZShift 
  // value. (Note: not all mappers/graphics systems implement this 
  // functionality.)
