41 * @brief Visual provides a renderer for rendering the controls. A control may have multiple visuals.
43 * Visuals reuses geometry, shader etc. across controls and manages the renderer and texture sets to exist only when control is on-stage.
44 * It also responds to actor size and color change, and provides the clipping at the renderer level.
45 * Note: The visual responds to the the Actor::COLOR by blending it with the 'Multiply' operator.
