/** @brief

 The region of definition for an image effect is the rectangular section
 of the 2D image plane that it is capable of filling, given the state of
 its input clips and parameters. This action is used to calculate the RoD
 for a plugin instance at a given frame. For more details on regions of
 definition see \ref ImageEffectArchitectures "Image Effect Architectures"

 Note that hosts that have constant sized imagery need not call this
 action, only hosts that allow image sizes to vary need call this.

 @param  handle handle to the instance, cast to an \ref OfxImageEffectHandle

 @param  inArgs has the following properties
     - \ref kOfxPropTime the effect time for which a region of definition is being
     requested
     - \ref kOfxImageEffectPropRenderScale the render scale that should be used in any calculations in this
     action

 @param  outArgs has the following property which the plug-in may set
     - \ref kOfxImageEffectPropRegionOfDefinition  the calculated region of definition, initially set by the host
     to the default RoD (see below), in Canonical Coordinates.


 If the effect did not trap this, it means the host should use the
 default RoD instead, which depends on the context. This is...

 -  generator context - defaults to the project window,
 -  filter and paint contexts - defaults to the RoD of the 'Source' input
 clip at the given time,
 -  transition context - defaults to the union of the RoDs of the
 'SourceFrom' and 'SourceTo' input clips at the given time,
 -  general context - defaults to the union of the RoDs of all the non
 optional input clips and the 'Source' input clip (if it exists and it
 is connected) at the given time, if none exist, then it is the
 project window
 -  retimer context - defaults to the union of the RoD of the 'Source'
 input clip at the frame directly preceding the value of the
 'SourceTime' double parameter and the frame directly after it

@returns
     -  \ref kOfxStatOK  the action was trapped and the RoD was set in the outArgs property set
     -  \ref kOfxStatReplyDefault, the action was not trapped and the host should use the default values
     -  \ref kOfxStatErrMemory, in which case the action may be called again after a memory purge

/** @brief

 This action allows a host to ask an effect, given a region I want to
 render, what region do you need from each of your input clips. In that
 way, depending on the host architecture, a host can fetch the minimal
 amount of the image needed as input. Note that there is a region of
 interest to be set in ``outArgs`` for each input clip that exists on the
 effect. For more details see \ref ImageEffectArchitectures "Image Effect
 Architectures"


 The default RoI is simply the value passed in on the
 \ref kOfxImageEffectPropRegionOfInterest
 ``inArgs`` property set. All the RoIs in the ``outArgs`` property set
 must initialised to this value before the action is called.


 @param  handle handle to the instance, cast to an \ref OfxImageEffectHandle

     - \ref kOfxImageEffectPropRegionOfInterest the region to be rendered in the output image, in Canonical Coordinates.

 @param  outArgs has a set of 4 dimensional double properties, one for each of the input clips to the effect.
 The properties are each named ``OfxImageClipPropRoI_`` with the clip name post pended, for example
 ``OfxImageClipPropRoI_Source``. These are initialised to the default RoI.

/** @brief

 This action lets the host ask the effect what frames are needed from
 each input clip to process a given frame. For example a temporal based
 degrainer may need several frames around the frame to render to do its
 work.

 This action need only ever be called if the plugin has set the
 \ref kOfxImageEffectPropTemporalClipAccess
 property on the plugin descriptor to be true. Otherwise the host assumes
 that the only frame needed from the inputs is the current one and this
 action is not called.

 Note that each clip can have it's required frame range specified, and
 that you can specify discontinuous sets of ranges for each clip, for
 example

 \code{.cpp}

     // The effect always needs the initial frame of the source as well as the previous and current frame
     double rangeSource[4];

     // required ranges on the source
     rangeSource[0] = 0; // we always need frame 0 of the source
     rangeSource[1] = 0;
     rangeSource[2] = currentFrame - 1; // we also need the previous and current frame on the source
     rangeSource[3] = currentFrame;

     gPropHost->propSetDoubleN(outArgs, "OfxImageClipPropFrameRange_Source", 4, rangeSource);

 \endcode

     Which sets two discontinuous range of frames from the 'Source' clip
     required as input.


 The default frame range is simply the single frame,
 kOfxPropTime..kOfxPropTime, found on the ``inArgs`` property set. All
 the frame ranges in the ``outArgs`` property set must initialised to
 this value before the action is called.

 @param  handle handle to the instance, cast to an \ref OfxImageEffectHandle
 @param  inArgs has the following property
     - \ref kOfxPropTime the effect time for which we need to calculate the frames needed on input
     - \ref outArgs has a set of properties, one for each input clip, named
     ``OfxImageClipPropFrameRange_`` with the name of the clip post-pended.
     For example ``OfxImageClipPropFrameRange_Source``. All these properties
     are multi-dimensional doubles, with the dimension is a multiple of
     two. Each pair of values indicates a continuous range of frames that
     is needed on the given input. They are all initialised to the default value.

/** @brief

 This action allows a plugin to dynamically specify its preferences for

 behaviour. Clip preferences are constant for the duration of an effect,
 so this action need only be called once per clip, not once per frame.

     management style in use.
     
     -  a set of double X 1 properties, one for each of the input clips
     currently attached and the output clip, labelled with
     ``OfxImageClipPropPAR_`` post pended with the clip's name. This is
     the pixel aspect ratio of the input and output clips. This must be
     set to a positive non zero double value,

     - \ref kOfxImageClipPropFieldOrder the fielding of the output clip

/** @brief

 Sometimes an effect can pass through an input uprocessed, for example a
 blur effect with a blur size of 0. This action can be called by a host
 before it attempts to render an effect to determine if it can simply
 copy input directly to output without having to call the render action
 on the effect.

 If the effect does not need to process any pixels, it should set the
 value of the \ref kOfxPropName to the clip that the host should us as the
 output instead, and the \ref kOfxPropTime property on ``outArgs`` to be
 the time at which the frame should be fetched from a clip.

 The default action is to call the render action on the effect.

Some effects have temporal dependencies, some information from from the rendering of frame N-1 is needed to render frame N correctly. This property is set by an effect to indicate such a situation. Also, some effects are more efficient if they run sequentially, but can still render correct images even if they do not, eg: a complex particle system.

During an interactive session a host may attempt to render a frame out of sequence (for example when the user scrubs the current time), and the effect needs to deal with such a situation as best it can to provide feedback to the user.

However if a host caches output, any frame frame generated in random temporal order needs to be considered invalid and needs to be re-rendered when the host finally performs a first to last render of the output sequence.

In all cases, a host will set the kOfxImageEffectPropSequentialRenderStatus flag to indicate its sequential render status.
