//! This is a private class used to convey the TRenderer::startRendering
//! methods into Qt queued slots. This is necessary since these methods implicitly
//! perform event processing, which could cause trouble in case they are invoked from
//! events which must respect a strict ordering.
//! \n \n
//! For example, suppose that a render must be invoked upon a mousePressEvent,
//! and that such event must have been completely processed before the corrispondant
//! mouseReleaseEvent is invoked - calling the startRendering method *directly* by
//! the mousePressEvent may cause the mouseReleaseEvent to be processed before the
//! former's end.
