Detailed Description

A manager for video and textures.

This manager is responsible for handling the OpenGL and image part of a game. It also deals with the drop-down python console at this moment in time, but that may change. You should always get this object from IRoot::getVideoManager(). The following options are configurable for the video manager:

        fullscreen - 1 for fullscreen, 0 for windowed
        width - the width of the video
        height - the height of the video
        bits - 16 or 32 for bits per pixel
        vsync - 0 for none, 1 for locked at 60fps
