    \title Limitations

    Qt Quick 2 was designed to take full advantage of OpenGL to make the most
    out of available graphics hardware.  By not relying on OpenGL, \RENDERER
    presents certain limitations regarding the available features.

    Since \RENDERER does not use OpenGL there are some features that can not be
    supported.  The following are known limitations:

    \target ShaderEffects
    \section1 ShaderEffects
    ShaderEffect components in QtQuick 2 can not be rendered with \RENDERER.

    \target QtGraphicalEffects
    \section1 QtGraphicalEffects
    QtGraphicalEffects uses ShaderEffect items to render effects.  If you use a
    graphical effect from QtGraphicalEffects the you should not hide the source
    item so that the original item can still be rendered.

    \target Particles
    \section1 Particles
    It is not possible to render particle effects with \RENDERER. Whenever
    possible, remove particles completely from the scene. Otherwise, even
    though they are not visible with \RENDERER, a certain amount of processing
    is done for them.

    \target Sprites
    \section1 Sprites
    The Sprite item depends on OpenGL functions we dont have access to and will
    not be visible.
