// .NAME vtkOpenGLHAVSVolumeMapper - Hardware-Assisted
// Visibility Sorting unstructured grid mapper, OpenGL implementation
//
// .SECTION Description
//
// vtkHAVSVolumeMapper is a class that renders polygonal data
// (represented as an unstructured grid) using the Hardware-Assisted
// Visibility Sorting (HAVS) algorithm.  First the unique triangles are sorted
// in object space, then they are sorted in image space using a fixed size
// A-buffer implemented on the GPU called the k-buffer.  The HAVS algorithm
// excels at rendering large datasets quickly.  The trade-off is that the
// algorithm may produce some rendering artifacts due to an insufficient k
// size (currently 2 or 6 is supported) or read/write race conditions.
//
// A built in level-of-detail (LOD) approach samples the geometry using one of
// two heuristics (field or area).  If LOD is enabled, the amount of geometry
// that is sampled and rendered changes dynamically to stay within the target
// frame rate.  The field sampling method generally works best for datasets
// with cell sizes that don't vary much in size.  On the contrary, the area
// sampling approach gives better approximations when the volume has a lot of
// variation in cell size.
//
// The HAVS algorithm uses several advanced features on graphics hardware.
// The k-buffer sorting network is implemented using framebuffer objects
// (FBOs) with multiple render targets (MRTs).  Therefore, only cards that
// support these features can run the algorithm (at least an ATI 9500 or an
// NVidia NV40 (6600)).
//
// .SECTION Notes
//
// Several issues had to be addressed to get the HAVS algorithm working within
// the vtk framework.  These additions forced the code to forsake speed for
// the sake of compliance and robustness.
//
// The HAVS algorithm operates on the triangles that compose the mesh.
// Therefore, before rendering, the cells are decomposed into unique triangles
// and stored on the GPU for efficient rendering.  The use of GPU data
// structures is only recommended if the entire geometry can fit in graphics
// memory.  Otherwise this feature should be disabled.
//
// Another new feature is the handling of mixed data types (eg., polygonal
// data with volume data).  This is handled by reading the z-buffer from the
// current window and copying it into the framebuffer object for off-screen
// rendering.  The depth test is then enabled so that the volume only appears
// over the opaque geometry.  Finally, the results of the off-screen rendering
// are blended into the framebuffer as a transparent, view-aligned texture.
//
// Instead of using a preintegrated 3D lookup table for storing the ray
// integral, this implementation uses partial pre-integration.  This improves
// the performance of dynamic transfer function updates by avoiding a costly
// preprocess of the table.
//
// A final change to the original algorithm is the handling of non-convexities
// in the mesh.  Due to read/write hazards that may create undesired artifacts
// with non-convexities when using a inside/outside toggle in the fragment
// program, another approach was employed.  To handle non-convexities, the
// fragment shader determines if a ray-gap is larger than the max cell size
// and kill the fragment if so.  This approximation performs rather well in
// practice but may miss small non-convexities.
