/**
 * This is the base class for a trail that is drawn behind an arbitrary object. The two
 * concreate implementations are RenderableTrailOrbit, for objects that have a (roughly)
 * repeating orbit, and RenderableTrailTrajectory, for objects that are less orbit-like.
 * The main difference between two subclasses is that RenderableTrailOrbit updates itself
 * continously, whereas RenderableTrailTrajectory precomputes the entire trail in advance.
 *
 * This class is responsible for the rendering of the vertex buffer objects which are
 * filled by the subclasses. The buffers contain a list of TrailVBOLayout objects that is
 * the three dimensional position for each point along the line.
 *
 * Trails can be rendered either as lines, as points, or a combination of both with
 * varying colors, line thicknesses, or fading settings. If trails are rendered as points,
 * the RenderInformation's `stride` parameter determines the number of points between
 * larger points. A potential use case for this is showing the passage of time along a
 * trail by using a point separation of one hour and a subsampling of 4, you would get a
 * point every 15 minutes with every hourly point being bigger.
 *
 * The positions for each point along the trail is provided through a Translation object,
 * the type of which is specified in the dictionary that is passed to the constructor. A
 * typical implementation of Translation used for the trail would be a SpiceTranslation.
