	/** Defines the functionality of a 3D API
	@remarks
	The RenderSystem class provides a base interface
	which abstracts the general functionality of the 3D API
	e.g. Direct3D or OpenGL. Whilst a few of the general
	methods have implementations, most of this class is
	abstract, requiring a subclass based on a specific API
	to be constructed to provide the full functionality.
	Note there are 2 levels to the interface - one which
	will be used often by the caller of the Ogre library,
	and one which is at a lower level and will be used by the
	other classes provided by Ogre. These lower level
	methods are prefixed with '_' to differentiate them.
	The advanced user of the library may use these lower
	level methods to access the 3D API at a more fundamental
	level (dealing direct with render states and rendering
	primitives), but still benefiting from Ogre's abstraction
	of exactly which 3D API is in use.

		case of a level editor). The option to create the window

		without borders, title bar or menu bar.

		Generally hardware stencils are only supported in 32-bit colour modes, because
		the stencil buffer shares the memory of the z-buffer, and in most cards the 
		z-buffer has to be the same depth as the colour buffer. This means that in 32-bit
		mode, 24 bits of the z-buffer are depth and 8 bits are stencil. In 16-bit mode there
		is no room for a stencil (although some cards support a 15:1 depth:stencil option,
		this isn't useful for very much) so 8 bits of stencil are provided in software.
		This can mean that if you use stencilling, your applications may be faster in 
		32-but colour than in 16-bit, which may seem odd to some people.

		/** This method allows you to set all the stencil buffer parameters in one call.
		@remarks
		The stencil buffer is used to mask out pixels in the render target, allowing
		you to do effects like mirrors, cut-outs, stencil shadows and more. Each of
		your batches of rendering is likely to ignore the stencil buffer, 
		update it with new values, or apply it to mask the output of the render.
		The stencil test is:<PRE>
		(Reference Value & Mask) CompareFunction (Stencil Buffer Value & Mask)</PRE>
		The result of this will cause one of 3 actions depending on whether the test fails,
		succeeds but with the depth buffer check still failing, or succeeds with the
		depth buffer check passing too.
		@par
		Unlike other render states, stencilling is left for the application to turn
		on and off when it requires. This is because you are likely to want to change
		parameters between batches of arbitrary objects and control the ordering yourself.
		In order to batch things this way, you'll want to use OGRE's separate render queue
		groups (see RenderQueue) and register a RenderQueueListener to get notifications
		between batches.
		@par
		There are individual state change methods for each of the parameters set using 
		this method. 
		Note that the default values in this method represent the defaults at system 
		start up too.
		@param func The comparison function applied.
		@param refValue The reference value used in the comparison
		@param mask The bitmask applied to both the stencil value and the reference value

		@param depthFailOp The action to perform when the stencil check passes, but the
		depth buffer check still fails
		@param passOp The action to take when both the stencil and depth check pass.
		@param twoSidedOperation If set to true, then if you render both back and front faces 
		(you'll have to turn off culling) then these parameters will apply for front faces, 
		and the inverse of them will happen for back faces (keep remains the same).
