Hi,

    I'm relativley new to Performer and I have been reading the
documentation that came with it and it wasn't clear to me if it is
possible to use two or more Pipes to render to the same frame buffer. I
also got the understanding (and correct me if I'm wrong) that the word
"Pipe" is used in place of "Graphics Hardware", so another words a Pipe
is a graphics board or "Raster manager" in the machine. And since each
raster manager has it's own hardware frame buffer I was wondering if
it's possible to get two pipes to work together in rendering a scene to
one window with one channel in it.
