 * @class   vtkCuller
 * @brief   a superclass for prop cullers
 *
 * A culler has a cull method called by the vtkRenderer. The cull
 * method is called before any rendering is performed,
 * and it allows the culler to do some processing on the props and
 * to modify their AllocatedRenderTime and re-order them in the prop list.
