//       Class : NonlinearImager
// Description : This class object combines the rendered output of a
//               3-d from one or more linear (e.g. perspective)
//               cameras, as seen through a single, possibly nonlinear
//               camera.
//
//               This can be used to generate real-time imagery of a
//               3-d scene using a nonlinear camera, for instance a
//               fisheye camera, even though the underlying graphics
//               engine may only support linear cameras.  It can also
//               pre-distort imagery to compensate for off-axis
//               projectors, and/or curved screens of any complexity.
//
//               
//               A NonlinearImager may be visualized as a dark room
//               into which a number of projection screens have been
//               placed, of arbitrary size and shape and at any
//               arbitrary position and orientation to each other.
//               Onto each of these screens is projected the view as
//               seen by a normal perspective camera that exists in
//               the world (that is, under render).
//
//               There also exist in the room one or more (possibly
//               nonlinear) cameras, called viewers, that observe
//               these screens.  The image of the projection screens
//               seen by each viewer is finally displayed on the
//               viewer's associated DisplayRegion.  By placing the
//               viewer(s) appropriately relative to the screens, and
//               by choosing suitable lens properties for the
//               viewer(s), you can achieve a wide variety of
//               distortion effects.
//
//
//               There are several different LensNode (Camera) objects
//               involved at each stage in the process.  To help keep
//               them all straight, different words are used to refer
//               to each different kind of Camera used within this
//               object.  The camera(s) under render, that capture the
//               original view of the world to be projected onto the
//               screens, are called source cameras, and are set per
//               screen via set_source_camera().  The LensNode that is
//               associated with each screen to project the image as
//               seen from the screen's source camera is called a
//               projector; these are set via the
//               ProjectionScreen::set_projector() interface.
//               Finally, the cameras that view the whole
//               configuration of screens are called viewers; each of
//               these is associated with a DisplayRegion, and they
//               are set via set_viewer_camera().
//
//               Of all these lenses, only the source cameras must use
//               linear (that is, perspective or orthographic) lenses.
//               The projectors and viewers may be any arbitrary lens,
//               linear or otherwise.
