/**
 * A FilterFunctionEnvironment provides a simple functional front-end to manually executing
 * filters. Use this environment if a graph-based approach is not convenient for your case.
 * Typically, a FilterFunctionEnvironment is used as follows:
 *   1. Instantiate a new FilterFunctionEnvironment instance.
 *   2. Perform any configuration, such as setting a GL environment.
 *   3. Wrap Filters into FilterFunctions by calling createFunction().
 *   4. Execute FilterFunctions individually and use the results for further processing.
 * Additionally, there is a convenience method to execute a number of filters in sequence.
