/**
* The GlsMimicGroup class provides a way to group objects that change
* infrequently into a single textured polygon such that performance is increased due
* to not having to render the objects every frame. Instead, since all of the objects
* in the group are replaced with a single texture, performance is saved by updating the texture
* ONLY through handling a display event of name "MimicGroupUpdate". Whenever an object
* placed in this group is modified, you must write code to emit a "MimicGroupUpdate" ObjectEvent
* so that any changes made to its appearance will be reflected in the rendered texture.
*
* For example:
* EmitObjectEvent( objectThatChanged, "MimicGroupUpdate" );
*
* Picking and event handling for objects within the GlsMimicGroup work the same as
* for a regular Group, so it can contain interactive objects such as buttons, switches, etc.
* The GlsMimicGroup will only redraw the texture when it receives a "MimicGroupUpdate"
* ObjectEvent so you must write code to emit these events whenever a
* press, toggle, etc. affect the appearance of the object.
*
* The GlsMimicGroup can contain 2D or 3D objects.  All of these objects will be replaced
* with a 2D texture polygon so the GlsMimicGroup is best suited for use with panels that are mostly 2D.
* The GlsMimicGroup can also be useful with a collection of 3D objects as long as the
* GlsMimicGroup remains screen-aligned.
*
* On older hardware that does not support the render-to-texture capabilities required by the
* GlsMimicGroup, the GlsMimicGroup will fall-back to rendering like a regular Group.
