//       Class : SwitchNode
// Description : A base class for nodes that may choose to render only
//               some subset of their children, based on some internal
//               criteria.
//
//               This is an abstract base class, and is only
//               interface; it is defined in this directory so that
//               FrustumCullTraverser can access it.  All of the
//               implementations of this class are defined in the
//               switchnode directory.
