/*! Base class for Stroke Shaders.
 *  Any Stroke Shader must inherit from this class and overload the shade() method.
 *  A StrokeShader is designed to modify any Stroke's attribute such as Thickness, Color,
 *  Geometry, Texture, Blending mode...
 *  The basic way to achieve this operation consists in iterating over the StrokeVertices of the Stroke
 *  and to modify each one's StrokeAttribute.
 *  Here is a python code example of such an iteration:
 *  \code
 *  it = ioStroke.strokeVerticesBegin()
 *  while not it.isEnd():
 *      att = it.getObject().attribute()
 *      ## perform here any attribute modification
 *      it.increment()
 *  \endcode
 *  Here is a C++ code example of such an iteration:
 *  \code
 *  for (StrokeInternal::StrokeVertexIterator v = ioStroke.strokeVerticesBegin(), vend = ioStroke.strokeVerticesEnd();
 *      v != vend;
 *      ++v)
 *  {
 *  	StrokeAttribute& att = v->attribute();
 *  	// perform any attribute modification here...
 *  }
 *  \endcode
