33/**
34 * The <code>Graphics</code> class is the abstract base class for
35 * all graphics contexts that allow an application to draw onto
36 * components that are realized on various devices, as well as
37 * onto off-screen images.
38 * <p>
39 * A <code>Graphics</code> object encapsulates state information needed
40 * for the basic rendering operations that Java supports.  This
41 * state information includes the following properties:
42 *
43 * <ul>
44 * <li>The <code>Component</code> object on which to draw.
45 * <li>A translation origin for rendering and clipping coordinates.
46 * <li>The current clip.
47 * <li>The current color.
48 * <li>The current font.
49 * <li>The current logical pixel operation function (XOR or Paint).
50 * <li>The current XOR alternation color
51 *     (see {@link Graphics#setXORMode}).
52 * </ul>
53 * <p>
54 * Coordinates are infinitely thin and lie between the pixels of the
55 * output device.
56 * Operations that draw the outline of a figure operate by traversing
57 * an infinitely thin path between pixels with a pixel-sized pen that hangs
58 * down and to the right of the anchor point on the path.
59 * Operations that fill a figure operate by filling the interior
60 * of that infinitely thin path.
61 * Operations that render horizontal text render the ascending
62 * portion of character glyphs entirely above the baseline coordinate.
63 * <p>
64 * The graphics pen hangs down and to the right from the path it traverses.
65 * This has the following implications:
66 * <ul>
67 * <li>If you draw a figure that covers a given rectangle, that
68 * figure occupies one extra row of pixels on the right and bottom edges
69 * as compared to filling a figure that is bounded by that same rectangle.
70 * <li>If you draw a horizontal line along the same <i>y</i> coordinate as
71 * the baseline of a line of text, that line is drawn entirely below
72 * the text, except for any descenders.
73 * </ul><p>
74 * All coordinates that appear as arguments to the methods of this
75 * <code>Graphics</code> object are considered relative to the
76 * translation origin of this <code>Graphics</code> object prior to
77 * the invocation of the method.
78 * <p>
79 * All rendering operations modify only pixels which lie within the
80 * area bounded by the current clip, which is specified by a {@link Shape}
81 * in user space and is controlled by the program using the
82 * <code>Graphics</code> object.  This <i>user clip</i>
83 * is transformed into device space and combined with the
84 * <i>device clip</i>, which is defined by the visibility of windows and
85 * device extents.  The combination of the user clip and device clip
86 * defines the <i>composite clip</i>, which determines the final clipping
87 * region.  The user clip cannot be modified by the rendering
88 * system to reflect the resulting composite clip. The user clip can only
89 * be changed through the <code>setClip</code> or <code>clipRect</code>
90 * methods.
91 * All drawing or writing is done in the current color,
92 * using the current paint mode, and in the current font.
