/*************************************************************************
The main program.
This class provides the functionality of the main program. The program
starts after calling the "run" method. This method initializes the GLUT
system for rendering (using OpenGL) and user interaction. During the
initialization process different methods are connected to certain events
such as "display the window content" or "act on key events". 
Furthermore the main context menu is initialized by calling the method 
"setup_context_menu".
Whenever one of the events described above occurs the appropriate functions
are called (They are however not called directly but via static functions
that forward the event. Read the included PDF if you are interested why
this is done and how it works). 
The actual rendering happens in the "display" method that completely
handles the rendering over to the "render" method of the "content"-variable
which is an instance of a child class of abstract_scene.
For animations a timer is set up to call the "timer" method every 1/30 sec
which calls the "advance_frame" method of the current "content" and 
refreshes the display.
