    \class QSGSimpleMaterialShader

    \brief The QSGSimpleMaterialShader class provides a convenient way of
    building custom materials for the scene graph.

    \inmodule QtQuick
    \ingroup qtquick-scenegraph-materials

    Where the QSGMaterial and QSGMaterialShader API requires a bit of
    boilerplate code to create a functioning material, the
    QSGSimpleMaterialShader tries to hide some of this through the use
    of templates.

    QSGSimpleMaterialShader::vertexShader() and
    QSGSimpleMaterialShader::fragmentShader() are used to specify the
    actual shader source code. The names of the vertex attributes
    should be listed in the QSGSimpleMaterialShader::attributes()

    QSGSimpleMaterialShader::updateState() is used to push the material
    state to the OpenGL shader program.

    The actual OpenGL shader program is accessible through the
    QSGSimpleMaterialShader::program() function.

    Each QSGSimpleMaterialShader implementation operates on a unique
    state struct. The state struct must be declared using the
    \c {QSG_DECLARE_SIMPLE_SHADER} macro.

    Here is a simple example of a custom solid-color:

    \code
    struct Color
    {
        float r, g, b, a;
    };

    class MinimalShader : public QSGSimpleMaterialShader<Color>
    {
        QSG_DECLARE_SIMPLE_SHADER(MinimalShader, Color)
    public:

        const char *vertexShader() const {
            return
            "attribute highp vec4 vertex;               \n"
            "uniform highp mat4 qt_Matrix;              \n"
            "void main() {                              \n"
            "    gl_Position = qt_Matrix * vertex;      \n"
            "}";
        }

        const char *fragmentShader() const {
            return
            "uniform lowp float qt_Opacity;             \n"
            "uniform lowp vec4 color;                   \n"
            "void main() {                              \n"
            "    gl_FragColor = color * qt_Opacity;     \n"
            "}";
        }

        QList<QByteArray> attributes() const {
            return QList<QByteArray>() << "vertex";
        }

        void updateState(const Color *color, const Color *) {
            program()->setUniformValue("color", color->r, color->g, color->b, color->a);
        }

    };
    \endcode

    Instances of materials using this shader can be created using the
    createMaterial() function which will be defined by the
    QSG_DECLARE_SIMPLE_SHADER macro.

    \code
        QSGSimpleMaterial<Color> *material = MinimalShader::createMaterial();
        material->state()->r = 1;
        material->state()->g = 0;
        material->state()->b = 0;
        material->state()->a = 1;

        node->setMaterial(material);
    \endcode

    The scene graph will often try to find materials that have the
    same or at least similar state so that these can be batched
    together inside the renderer, which gives better performance. To
    specify sortable material states, use
    QSG_DECLARE_SIMPLE_COMPARABLE_SHADER instead of
    QSG_DECLARE_SIMPLE_SHADER. The state struct must then also define
    the function:

    \code
    int compare(const Type *other) const;
    \endcode

    \warning The QSGSimpleMaterialShader relies on template
    instantiation to create a QSGMaterialType which the scene graph
    renderer internally uses to identify this shader. For this reason,
    the unique QSGSimpleMaterialShader implementation must be
    instantiated with a unique C++ type.

/*!
    \fn void QSGSimpleMaterialShader::updateState(const State *newState, const State *oldState)

    Called whenever the state of this shader should be updated from
    \a oldState to \a newState, typical for each new set of
    geometries being drawn.

    Both the old and the new state are passed in so that the
    implementation can compare and minimize the state changes when
    applicable.
