+There are several base and mix-in visual classes for multiple inheritance:
+  - MinimalStim:       non-visual house-keeping code common to all visual stim
+        RatingScale inherits only from MinimalStim.
+  - WindowMixin:       attributes/methods about the stim relative to
+        a visual.Window.
+  - LegacyVisualMixin: deprecated visual methods (eg, setRGB) added
+        to BaseVisualStim
+  - ColorMixin:        for Stim that need color methods (most, not Movie)
+        color-related methods and attribs
+  - ContainerMixin:    for stim that need polygon .contains() methods.
+        Most need this, but not Text. .contains(), .overlaps()
+  - TextureMixin:      for texture methods namely _createTexture
+        (Grating, not Text)
+        seems to work; caveat: There were issues in earlier (non-MI) versions
+        of using _createTexture so it was pulled out of classes.
+        Now it's inside classes again. Should be watched.
+  - BaseVisualStim:    = Minimal + Window + Legacy. Furthermore adds c
+        ommon attributes like orientation, opacity, contrast etc.
+
+Typically subclass BaseVisualStim to create new visual stim classes, and add
+mixin(s) as needed to add functionality.

+
+

+
+        You can use `setColor` if you want to set color and colorSpace in one

+            stim.setColor((0, 128, 255), 'rgb255')
