/** <P> Provides a virtual machine- and operating system-independent
    mechanism for creating {@link GLDrawable}s. </P>

    <P> The {@link javax.media.opengl.GLCapabilities} objects passed
    in to the various factory methods are used as a hint for the
    properties of the returned drawable. The default capabilities
    selection algorithm (equivalent to passing in a null {@link
    GLCapabilitiesChooser}) is described in {@link
    DefaultGLCapabilitiesChooser}. Sophisticated applications needing
    to change the selection algorithm may pass in their own {@link
    GLCapabilitiesChooser} which can select from the available pixel
    formats. The GLCapabilitiesChooser mechanism may not be supported
    by all implementations or on all platforms, in which case any
    passed GLCapabilitiesChooser will be ignored. </P>

    <P> Because of the multithreaded nature of the Java platform's
    window system toolkit, it is typically not possible to immediately
    reject a given {@link GLCapabilities} as being unsupportable by
    either returning <code>null</code> from the creation routines or
    raising a {@link GLException}. The semantics of the rejection
    process are (unfortunately) left unspecified for now. The current
    implementation will cause a {@link GLException} to be raised
    during the first repaint of the {@link GLCanvas} or {@link
    GLJPanel} if the capabilities can not be met. Pbuffers are always
    created immediately and their creation will fail with a {@link
    GLException} if errors occur. </P>

    <P> The concrete GLDrawableFactory subclass instantiated by {@link
    #getFactory getFactory} can be changed by setting the system
    property <code>opengl.factory.class.name</code> to the
    fully-qualified name of the desired class. </P>
