 """
-
 Class CommonFilters implements certain common image
 postprocessing filters.  See the :ref:`common-image-filters` page for
 more information about how to use these filters.
 
-It is not ideal that these filters are all included in a single
-monolithic module.  Unfortunately, when you want to apply two filters
-at the same time, you have to compose them into a single shader, and
-the composition process isn't simply a question of concatenating them:
-you have to somehow make them work together.  I suspect that there
-exists some fairly simple framework that would make this automatable.
-However, until I write some more filters myself, I won't know what
-that framework is.  Until then, I'll settle for this
-clunky approach.  - Josh

+These filters are written in the Cg shading language.
