/**
 * @class   vtkImporter
 * @brief   importer abstract class
 *
 * vtkImporter is an abstract class that specifies the protocol for
 * importing actors, cameras, lights and properties into a
 * vtkRenderWindow. The following takes place:
 * 1) Create a RenderWindow and Renderer if none is provided.
 * 2) Call ImportBegin, if ImportBegin returns False, return
 * 3) Call ReadData, which calls:
 *  a) Import the Actors
 *  b) Import the cameras
 *  c) Import the lights
 *  d) Import the Properties
 * 7) Call ImportEnd
 *
 * Subclasses optionally implement the ImportActors, ImportCameras,
 * ImportLights and ImportProperties or ReadData methods. An ImportBegin and
 * ImportEnd can optionally be provided to perform Importer-specific
 * initialization and termination.  The Read method initiates the import
 * process. If a RenderWindow is provided, its Renderer will contained
 * the imported objects. If the RenderWindow has no Renderer, one is
 * created. If no RenderWindow is provided, both a RenderWindow and
 * Renderer will be created. Both the RenderWindow and Renderer can be
 * accessed using Get methods.
