| The IGraphicElement is implemented by IVisualElements that |
| take advantage of the parent <code>IGraphicElementContainer</code> |
| DisplayObject management. |
| <p>One typical use case is DisplayObject sharing. |
| the Group class, which implements <code>IGraphicElementContainer</code>, organizes its |
| IGraphicElement children in sequences that share and draw to |
| the same DisplayObject. |
| The DisplayObject is created by the first element in the |
| sequence.</p> |
| <p>Another use case is when an element does not derive from |
| DisplayObject but instead maintains, creates and/or destroys |
| its own DisplayObject. The <code>IGraphicElementContainer</code> will |
| call the element to create the DisplayObject, add the |
| DisplayObject as its child at the correct index, and |
| handle its removal.</p> |
| <p>Typically, you extend the GraphicElement class |
| instead of directly implementing the IGraphciElement |
| interface. The GraphicElement class already provides most of the |
| required functionality.</p> |

| Depending on the specific implementation, the IGraphicElement may perform |
| certain management of the display object. |
| For example the base class GraphicElement |

| |
| <li>A value of <code>DisplayObjectSharingMode.USES_SHARED_OBJECT</code> |
