/**
 * @class   vtkLODActor
 * @brief   an actor that supports multiple levels of detail
 *
 * vtkLODActor is an actor that stores multiple levels of detail (LOD) and
 * can automatically switch between them. It selects which level of detail to
 * use based on how much time it has been allocated to render. Currently a
 * very simple method of TotalTime/NumberOfActors is used. (In the future
 * this should be modified to dynamically allocate the rendering time between
 * different actors based on their needs.)
 *
 * There are three levels of detail by default. The top level is just the
 * normal data. The lowest level of detail is a simple bounding box outline
 * of the actor. The middle level of detail is a point cloud of a fixed
 * number of points that have been randomly sampled from the mapper's input
 * data. Point attributes are copied over to the point cloud. These two
 * lower levels of detail are accomplished by creating instances of a
 * vtkOutlineFilter (low-res) and vtkMaskPoints (medium-res). Additional
 * levels of detail can be add using the AddLODMapper() method.
 *
 * To control the frame rate, you typically set the vtkRenderWindowInteractor
 * DesiredUpdateRate and StillUpdateRate. This then will cause vtkLODActor
 * to adjust its LOD to fulfill the requested update rate.
 *
 * For greater control on levels of detail, see also vtkLODProp3D. That
 * class allows arbitrary definition of each LOD.
 *
 * @warning
 * If you provide your own mappers, you are responsible for setting its
 * ivars correctly, such as ScalarRange, LookupTable, and so on.
 *
 * @warning
 * On some systems the point cloud rendering (the default, medium level of
 * detail) can result in points so small that they can hardly be seen. In
 * this case, use the GetProperty()->SetPointSize() method to increase the
 * rendered size of the points.
