williamr@2: * Interface to skin effect plugin implementation.
williamr@2: * 
williamr@2: * States of an effect plugin are:
williamr@2: *  - Dead: Effect plugin has not been created. Destructing the plugin
williamr@2: *       returns the plugin to this state.
williamr@2: *  - Created: Effect plugin has been created (by calling its default
williamr@2: *       constructor). No dynamic data can be allocated at this state.
williamr@2: *       Call to @c Release returns the plugin to this state.
williamr@2: *  - Initialized: Effect plugin has been successfully initialized
williamr@2: *       (by calling @c InitializeL). Any dynamic data (common to the
williamr@2: *       entire lifetime of the plugin) has been constructed.
williamr@2: *       Call to @c Deactivate returns the plugin to this state.
williamr@2: *  - Activated: Effect plugin has been successfully activated
williamr@2: *       for rendering (by calling @c ActivateL). This is the only
williamr@2: *       state where parameter setup or rendering can take place.
williamr@2: *
williamr@2: * A plugin instance is owned by the effect pool. A plugin instance
williamr@2: * is activated by the effect renderer to perform one rendering
williamr@2: * operation.
williamr@2: *
williamr@2: * The effect renderer maintains a set of layers to store graphical
williamr@2: * content during the rendering of a single skin item. The effect renderer
williamr@2: * provides the active plugin with an effect context that is used to access
williamr@2: * these layers.
williamr@2: *
williamr@2: * The plugin may assume the following restrictions:
williamr@2: *  - No calls (except construction) are made to a dead plugin.
williamr@2: *  - No calls (except initialization or destruction) are made to a 
williamr@2: *       created plugin.
williamr@2: *  - Parameter setup or rendering operation is never requested from
williamr@2: *       a plugin that has not been activated.
williamr@2: *  - Capabilities can be queried only from an initialized or activated
williamr@2: *       plugin.
williamr@2: *  - After a rendering operation has been requested, no further
williamr@2: *       parameter setup or capability queries are made.
