/**
 * A GraphicsContext3D object is used for immediate mode rendering into
 * a 3D canvas.  It is created by, and associated with, a specific
 * Canvas3D object.  A GraphicsContext3D defines methods to set 3D graphics
 * state and draw 3D geometric primitives.  There are no public
 * constructors of GraphicsContext3D. An application obtains a 3D graphics
 * context object from the Canvas3D object that the application wishes
 * to render into by using the getGraphicsContext3D method. A new graphics
 * context is created if one does not already exist.  A new GraphicsContext3D
 * initializes its state variables to the following defaults:
 * <UL>
 * <LI> Background object: null </LI>
 * <LI> Fog object: null </LI>
 * <LI> ModelClip object: null </LI>
 * <LI> Appearance object: null </LI>
 * <LI> List of Light objects: empty </LI>
 * <LI> high-res coordinate: (0, 0, 0) </LI>
 * <LI> modelTransform: identity </LI>
 * <LI> AuralAttributes object: null </LI>
 * <LI> List of Sound objects: empty </LI>
 * <LI> buffer override: false </LI>
 * <LI> front buffer rendering: false </LI>
 * <LI> stereo mode: <code>STEREO_BOTH</code> </LI>
 * </UL>
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that the drawing methods in this class are not necessarily
 * executed immediately.  They may be buffered up for future
 * execution.  Applications must call the
 * <code><a href="#flush(boolean)">flush</a>(boolean)</code>
 * method to ensure that the rendering actually happens. The flush
 * method is implicitly called in the following cases:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>The <code>readRaster</code> method calls
 * <code>flush(true)</code></li>
 * <li>The <code>Canvas3D.swap</code> method calls
 * <code>flush(true)</code></li>
 * <li>The Java 3D renderer calls <code>flush(true)</code> prior to
 * swapping the buffer for a double buffered on-screen Canvas3D</li>
 * <li>The Java 3D renderer calls <code>flush(true)</code> prior to
 * copying into the off-screen buffer of an off-screen Canvas3D</li>
 * <li>The Java 3D renderer calls <code>flush(false)</code> after
 * calling the preRender, renderField, postRender, and postSwap
 * Canvas3D callback methods.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * A single-buffered, pure-immediate mode application must explicitly
 * call flush to ensure that the graphics will be rendered to the
 * Canvas3D.
