//       Class : PGVirtualFrame
// Description : This represents a frame that is rendered as a window
//               onto another (possibly much larger) canvas.  You can
//               only see the portion of the canvas that is below the
//               window at any given time.
//
//               This works simply by automatically defining a scissor
//               effect to be applied to a special child node, called
//               the canvas_node, of the PGVirtualFrame node.  Every
//               object that is parented to the canvas_node will be
//               clipped by the scissor effect.  Also, you can modify
//               the canvas_transform through convenience methods
//               here, which actually modifies the transform on the
//               canvas_node.
//
//               The net effect is that the virtual canvas is
//               arbitrarily large, and we can peek at it through the
//               scissor region, and scroll through different parts of
//               it by modifying the canvas_transform.
//
//               See PGScrollFrame for a specialization of this class
//               that handles the traditional scrolling canvas, with
//               scroll bars.
