/**

 * A double-buffering capability descriptor.  This class exposes

 * details about the double-buffering algorithms used by image

 * buffers.

 *

 * BufferCapabilities represents algorithms that involve at least two

 * buffers but it can also specify so-called "multi-buffer" schemes

 * involving more than two buffers.  This class describes the

 * capabilities of the front and back buffers as well as the results

 * of "flipping" -- that is, what happens when an image is transferred

 * from the back buffer to the front buffer.

 *

 * Flipping may or may not be supported or may be supported only in

 * fullscreen mode.  If it is not supported then "blitting" is implied

 * -- that is, the contents of the back buffer are copied using a fast

 * block transfer operation from the back buffer to the front buffer.

 *

 * The front buffer is the one that is displayed.
