        @remarks
            The Ogre::Root class represents a starting point for the client
            application. From here, the application can gain access to the
            fundamentals of the system, namely the rendering systems
            available, management of saved configurations, logging, and
            access to other classes in the system. Acts as a hub from which
            all other objects may be reached. An instance of Root must be
            created before any other Ogre operations are called. Once an
            instance has been created, the same instance is accessible
            throughout the life of that object by using Root::getSingleton
            (as a reference) or Root::getSingletonPtr (as a pointer).
