/**
 * The <code>Graphics</code> class is the abstract base class for 
 * all graphics contexts that allow an application to draw onto 
 * components that are realized on various devices, as well as 
 * onto off-screen images.
 * <p>
 * A <code>Graphics</code> object encapsulates state information needed
 * for the basic rendering operations that Java supports.  This
 * state information includes the following properties:
 * <p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>The <code>Component</code> object on which to draw.
 * <li>A translation origin for rendering and clipping coordinates.
 * <li>The current clip.  
 * <li>The current color.
 * <li>The current font.
 * <li>The current logical pixel operation function (XOR or Paint).
 * <li>The current XOR alternation color 
 *     (see {@link Graphics#setXORMode}).
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Coordinates are infinitely thin and lie between the pixels of the
 * output device.
 * Operations that draw the outline of a figure operate by traversing
 * an infinitely thin path between pixels with a pixel-sized pen that hangs
 * down and to the right of the anchor point on the path.
 * Operations that fill a figure operate by filling the interior
 * of that infinitely thin path.
 * Operations that render horizontal text render the ascending
 * portion of character glyphs entirely above the baseline coordinate.
 * <p>
 * The graphics pen hangs down and to the right from the path it traverses. 
 * This has the following implications:
 * <p><ul>
 * <li>If you draw a figure that covers a given rectangle, that 
 * figure occupies one extra row of pixels on the right and bottom edges 
 * as compared to filling a figure that is bounded by that same rectangle.
 * <li>If you draw a horizontal line along the same <i>y</i> coordinate as

 * All rendering operations modify only pixels which lie within the
 * area bounded by the current clip, which is specified by a {@link Shape} 
 * in user space and is controlled by the program using the 
 * <code>Graphics</code> object.  This <i>user clip</i> 
 * is transformed into device space and combined with the 
 * <i>device clip</i>, which is defined by the visibility of windows and
 * device extents.  The combination of the user clip and device clip 
 * defines the <i>composite clip</i>, which determines the final clipping
 * region.  The user clip cannot be modified by the rendering 
 * system to reflect the resulting composite clip. The user clip can only
 * be changed through the <code>setClip</code> or <code>clipRect</code> 
 * methods.
 * All drawing or writing is done in the current color, 
 * using the current paint mode, and in the current font.
