// <etymology>
// PixelCanvas is the mechanism for drawing on the screen.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// The philosophy of the PixelCanvas is to provide flexible fast interface to
// an underlying graphics system in terms of integer pixel positions and
// color values.  The interface should be as simple as possible and not demand
// complicated structures on its interface.
//
// The PixelCanvas performs minimal management, leaving up to the derived classes
// for most of the work required to interface to the underlying graphics library.
//
// To make it flexible, the fundamental interface accepts pointers to arrays of all
// the scalar AIPS++ types.  The casacore::Bool type is not acceptable at the PixelCanvas
// level because it cannot be used to represent a color index, as are the two
// complex number types.
//
// To make it fast, a caching mechanism is used to allow display lists to be
// created in the format native to the underlying graphics library.
// The caching works like OpenGL display lists.
//
// To create a display list:
//
// <ol>
// <li> Call the function newList() which will return a list id.  You need to
//      store the returned id somewhere so that it may be recalled later.
// <li> Perform some drawing commands.  These commands are output-only commands
//      that change the state of the PixelCanvas or draw some graphics or other
//      function that affects the canvas.
// <li> Call the function endList()
// </ol>
//
// To recall the drawing commands:
//
// <ol>
// <li> Call drawList(), passing the list id as the parameter
// </ol>
//
// To delete the list, call deleteList(), with the id
//
// The PixelCanvas maintains a translation stack which may be driven by
// calls to translate and calls to pushMatrix, popMatrix.
//
// The translation stack is an effective way to draw the same graphic in different
// places:
// <srcblock>
//
// casacore::uInt myGraphic = newList();
// ...
// endList();
// casacore::Matrix m(n,2);
// for (casacore::uInt i = 0; i < n; i++)
//   {
//     pc->pushMatrix();
//     pc->translate(m(i,0), m(i,1));
//     pc->drawList(myGraphic);
//     pc->popMatrix();
//   }
//
// </srcblock>
//
// Images are most correctly drawn through the following sequence of operations
//
// <ol>
// <li> Obtain the size of the current colormap with getColormapSize()
// <li> scale your data to fit in the range of [0,size-1];
// <li> call mapToColor() to get a proper color image (which you may consider
//      saving).
// <li> call drawImage()
// </ol>
//
// You may find that a class derived from
// <linkto class="WCDataScaleHandler">WCDataScaleHandler</linkto>, such as
// <linkto class="WCLinearScaleHandler">WCLinearScaleHandler</linkto>
// may be useful in step #2 above.
//
// mapToColor is also useful for transforming values that are associated with
// vector graphics as well (e.g., contour lines).
//
//
// The PixelCanvas layer is quite thin.  Most functionality is implemented
// in the derived classes.
//
// </synopsis>
//
// <motivation>
// Want a generic interface to possibly a variety of graphics hardware types.
// Want base class to maintain callback lists
// </motivation>
//
// <example>
// see the Display test directory
// </example>
