Detailed Description

The graphics related static functions for the Visual Actors. By gathering the graphics related calls of the Visual Actors, it is easier to track and isolate possible problems. All functions of VisualActorGraphics are static. Most of the time, functions of VisualActorGraphics are executed by VisualGraphics. The static functions of VisualActorGraphics are expected to change more often than the methods of the VisualGraphics class. The static functions of VisualActorGraphics are aggregates of graphical operations.
