4 *  Render to vertex array
5 *
6 *  This class implements "render to vertex array" functionality
7 *  using vertex and pixel buffer objects (VBO and PBO).
8 *
9 *  Operation:
10 *  1. A buffer object is created
11 *  2. The buffer object is bound to the pixel pack (destination) buffer
12 *  3. glReadPixels is used to read from the frame buffer to the buffer object
13 *  4. The buffer object is bound to the vertex array
14 *  5. Vertex array pointers are set
15 * 
16 *  Usage:
17 *  1. Create a floating point pbuffer
18 *  2. Create a RenderVertexArray object for each vertex attribute
19 *       you want to render to
20 *  3. Render vertex data to pbuffer using a fragment program (could
21 *       use multiple draw buffers here)
22 *  4. Call Read() method to read data from pbuffer to vertex array
23 *  5. Call SetPointer() method to set vertex array pointers
24 *  6. Set any other other static vertex array attribute pointers
25 *  7. Render geometry as usual using glDrawArrays or glDrawElements
