        @remarks
                Because you can specialise the way that particles are rendered by supplying
                custom ParticleSystemRenderer classes, you might well need some additional 
                data for your custom rendering routine which is not held on the default particle
                class. If that's the case, then you should define a subclass of this class, 
                and construct it when asked in your custom ParticleSystemRenderer class.
