/*!
    \class StackedTile
    \brief A single tile that consists of a stack of Tile layers.

    The StackedTile is a tile container that covers a certain area and is used 
    for a particular zoom level. It consists of a <b>stack of several
    individual thematic Tiles</b> that cover the very same area and
    are used for the very same zoom level: This stack of Tiles is
    built up from the ground: The first Tile at the bottom usually
    represents the ground surface. Optionally there might be a range of other
    Tiles stacked on top which cover e.g. relief, streets and clouds.
    
    For rendering the whole stack of tiles gets merged and blended into a 
    single QImage. This merging/blending operation is usually only performed 
    once the stack of tiles changes visually. As a result access to the visual 
    composition of all TextureTile layers is very fast since it is reduced to 
    a single QImage that also consumes very little memory.

    The whole mechanism is comparable to layers in applications like
    Gimp or Photoshop (TM) which can be blended on top of each other via 
    so called filters and can be merged into a single layer if required.

    Restrictions: The Tiles that are part of the stack need to be of
    the same size and need to cover the same area at the same zoom level using 
    the very same projection.
