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