// To do this properly, a GUI programmer will need to control limits on the screen,
// and define them. Here is a limiter, it must be tied into your graphics algorithms
// -- there should be some class called screen or display which is the default,
// so that apps can still be made without use of a GUI limiter.
//
// limit(x,y,w,h);
//
// We'll also need something that can scroll a limit on a page. Meaning, that a
// region of the screen defined larger than a limiter can be scrolled. This
// would allow for a large pixel area to be defined and manipulated, yet displayed
// in a smaller region on the screen, where that limit could be scrolled.
//
// scrollLimit(x,y);
//
// Also there would need to be some sort of distinction between image-based
// GUI manipulations and generated (using rect() and text()) to create buttons,
// perhaps a way to define just the colors and fonts, with auto-sizing based on
// a width and a height.
//
//
// There are some other notes regarding mouseDragged and mouseReleased addressed below.
//
// Some other functions or classes of value:
// stretch(image,x,y,w,h);
// stretchMode(); where stretchMode() could be NEAREST_NEIGHBOR, BILINEAR and BICUBIC.
// (included is a Ken Perlin Bicubic class)
//
// It would be also nice if you could just point the active region to a pixel[] array
// for the purpose of "printing" output to an array of sorts.
// Something like:
//
// active(pixel[],w,h); (this is like "paging")
//
// Also something for rotation of sprites utilizing BILINEAR or BICUBIC rotation,
// such as rotate2d(image,x,y,radians); where a mode would be set with rotateMode();
//
// Though you have tint(), I think alpha() would be a nice way of changing the
// alpha of the "pen" so that any color drawn after alpha() is called (perhaps
// it could be called transparency() or translucent() or translucency()
//
// Organizing polygons by shape is a step toward models (shapes being actually models),
// setting a region variable that could be called would be nice.
//
// For overloads (or in this case, underloads) it would be nice to grab the current
// settings of the renderer by calling, without parameters, the following functions:
//
// textSize(), textMode(), stroke(), width(), alpha() .. and others
// bicubic interpolation by ken perlin
// followed by gui test case by madmerv
