			The DrawingWidgetsEngine::Paint() and DrawingWidgetsEngine::Flip() are ussualy not called by an effect/opengl programer.

			First of them iterates all widgets and draw them if they have the visible flag set true.
			Flip method will made the complete update to the screen.

			The decision of separation of the Paint (3D render) and flipping is cause some implementations may add different OpenGL code, for instance it may mix with one texture, etc.
