/**
		ViewGroup.java

		A View branch group containing a ViewPlatform
		and associated Views, Canvas3Ds and Windows to
		hold the canvases.  Can be added dynamically
		to a live universe.

		Parameters:
			initial placement
			autostart canvas?
			autostart view?
			keyboard navigator?
			various view policies

		Requirements:
			must be placable (hence TransformGroup and ViewPlatform)
			must be Node so addable to universe
			renderable:
				view.renderOnce()
				view.startView()
				view.stopView()
				canvas.startRenderer()
				canvas.stopRenderer()
				... ?
			disposable: cleans up properly
			must have accessible View and Canvas objects
			must manage multiple canvases for stereo
