/**
 * CAlfTextureProcessor is a collection of texture filters. Each filter 
 * takes a texture as input, processes it, and produces a new texture as a 
 * result. Examples of processing filters are blurring and shadow generation. 
 * Concrete serverside implementations of this class are rendering plugin specific.
 * CAlfTextureProcessor is the public, user-friendly way of filtering 
 * textures, because each filtering operation can be applied with a single
 * function call.
 * Usage:
 * @code
 * //Get texture processor
 * CAlfTextureProcessor* textureProcessor = &iTxrMgr->TextureProcessor();
 * 
 *  //Blur texture, source and destination textures are same
 * textureProcessor->BlurL(*tex,*tex);
 * 
 * @endcode
 * @see CAlfTextureProcessor::BlurL()
 * @lib alfclient.lib
 * @since S60 v3.2
