Clears the specified rectangle by filling it with the background color of the current drawing surface.

  Clears the specified rectangle by filling it with the background color of the current drawing surface. This operation does not use the current paint mode.

Beginning with Java 1.1, the background color of offscreen images may be system dependent. Applications should use setColor followed by fillRect to ensure that an offscreen image is cleared to a specific color.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the rectangle to clear.
- y - the y coordinate of the rectangle to clear.
- width - the width of the rectangle to clear.
- height - the height of the rectangle to clear.

  Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle.

  Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle.
The resulting clipping area is the intersection of the current
clipping area and the specified rectangle. If there is no
current clipping area, either because the clip has never been
set, or the clip has been cleared using setClip(null),
the specified rectangle becomes the new clip.
This method sets the user clip, which is independent of the
clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility.
This method can only be used to make the current clip smaller.
To set the current clip larger, use any of the setClip methods.
Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
- y - the y coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
- width - the width of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
- height - the height of the rectangle to intersect the clip with

  Copies an area of the component by a distance specified by dx and dy.

  Copies an area of the component by a distance specified by
dx and dy. From the point specified
by x and y, this method
copies downwards and to the right. To copy an area of the
component to the left or upwards, specify a negative value for
dx or dy.
If a portion of the source rectangle lies outside the bounds
of the component, or is obscured by another window or component,
copyArea will be unable to copy the associated
pixels. The area that is omitted can be refreshed by calling
the component's paint method.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the source rectangle.
- y - the y coordinate of the source rectangle.
- width - the width of the source rectangle.
- height - the height of the source rectangle.
- dx - the horizontal distance to copy the pixels.
- dy - the vertical distance to copy the pixels.

  Creates a new Graphics object that is a copy of this Graphics object.

  Creates a new Graphics object that is
a copy of this Graphics object.
Returns: a new graphics context that is a copy of this graphics context.

  Creates a new Graphics object based on this Graphics object, but with a new translation and clip area.

  Creates a new Graphics object based on this Graphics object, but with a new translation and clip area. The new Graphics object has its origin translated to the specified point (x, y). Its clip area is determined by the intersection of the original clip area with the specified rectangle. The arguments are all interpreted in the coordinate system of the original Graphics object. The new graphics context is identical to the original, except in two respects:

• The new graphics context is translated by (x, y). That is to say, the point (0, 0) in the new graphics context is the same as (x, y) in the original graphics context.
• The new graphics context has an additional clipping rectangle, in addition to whatever (translated) clipping rectangle it inherited from the original graphics context. The origin of the new clipping rectangle is at (0, 0), and its size is specified by the width and height arguments.

Returns: a new graphics context.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate.
- y - the y coordinate.
- width - the width of the clipping rectangle.
- height - the height of the clipping rectangle.
See Also: Graphics.translate(int, int), Graphics.clipRect(int, int, int, int),

  Disposes of this graphics context and releases any system resources that it is using.

  Disposes of this graphics context and releases any system resources that it is using. A Graphics object cannot be used after disposehas been called.

When a Java program runs, a large number of Graphics objects can be created within a short time frame. Although the finalization process of the garbage collector also disposes of the same system resources, it is preferable to manually free the associated resources by calling this method rather than to rely on a finalization process which may not run to completion for a long period of time.

Graphics objects which are provided as arguments to the paint and update methods of components are automatically released by the system when those methods return. For efficiency, programmers should call dispose when finished using a Graphics object only if it was created directly from a component or another Graphics object.

  Draws a 3-D highlighted outline of the specified rectangle.

  Draws a 3-D highlighted outline of the specified rectangle. The edges of the rectangle are highlighted so that they appear to be beveled and lit from the upper left corner.

The colors used for the highlighting effect are determined based on the current color. The resulting rectangle covers an area that is width + 1 pixels wide by height + 1 pixels tall.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the rectangle to be drawn.
- y - the y coordinate of the rectangle to be drawn.
- width - the width of the rectangle to be drawn.
- height - the height of the rectangle to be drawn.
- raised - a boolean that determines whether the rectangle appears to be raised above the surface or sunk into the surface.

  Draws the outline of a circular or elliptical arc covering the specified rectangle.

  Draws the outline of a circular or elliptical arc covering the specified rectangle.

The resulting arc begins at startAngle and extends for arcAngle degrees, using the current color. Angles are interpreted such that 0 degrees is at the 3 o'clock position. A positive value indicates a counter-clockwise rotation while a negative value indicates a clockwise rotation.

The center of the arc is the center of the rectangle whose origin is (x, y) and whose size is specified by the width and height arguments.

The resulting arc covers an area width + 1 pixels wide by height + 1 pixels tall.

The angles are specified relative to the non-square extents of the bounding rectangle such that 45 degrees always falls on the line from the center of the ellipse to the upper right corner of the bounding rectangle. As a result, if the bounding rectangle is noticeably longer in one axis than the other, the angles to the start and end of the arc segment will be skewed farther along the longer axis of the bounds.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the upper-left corner of the arc to be drawn.
- y - the y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the arc to be drawn.
- width - the width of the arc to be drawn.
- height - the height of the arc to be drawn.

Parameters:
- data - the data to be drawn
- offset - the start offset in the data
- length - the number of bytes that are drawn
- x - the x coordinate of the baseline of the text
- y - the y coordinate of the baseline of the text

  Draws as much of the specified image as is currently available.

  Draws as much of the specified image as is currently available. The image is drawn with its top-left corner at (x, y) in this graphics context's coordinate space. Transparent pixels are drawn in the specified background color.

This operation is equivalent to filling a rectangle of the width and height of the specified image with the given color and then drawing the image on top of it, but possibly more efficient.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the complete image has not yet been loaded, and it has not been dithered and converted for the current output device.

If the image has completely loaded and its pixels are no longer being changed, then drawImage returns true. Otherwise, drawImage returns false and as more of the image becomes available or it is time to draw another frame of animation, the process that loads the image notifies the specified image observer.
Returns: false if the image pixels are still changing; true otherwise.
Parameters:
- img - the specified image to be drawn. This method does nothing if img is null.
- x - the x coordinate.
- y - the y coordinate.
- bgcolor - the background color to paint under the non-opaque portions of the image.

  Draws as much of the specified image as has already been scaled to fit inside the specified rectangle.

The image is drawn inside the specified rectangle of this graphics context's coordinate space, and is scaled if necessary. Transparent pixels are drawn in the specified background color. This operation is equivalent to filling a rectangle of the width and height of the specified image with the given color and then drawing the image on top of it, but possibly more efficient.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the entire image has not yet been scaled, dithered, and converted for the current output device. If the current output representation is not yet complete then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that loads the image notifies the specified image observer.

A scaled version of an image will not necessarily be available immediately just because an unscaled version of the image has been constructed for this output device. Each size of the image may be cached separately and generated from the original data in a separate image production sequence.

  Draws as much of the specified area of the specified image as is currently available, scaling it on the fly to fit inside the specified area of the destination drawable surface.

Transparent pixels are drawn in the specified background color. This operation is equivalent to filling a rectangle of the width and height of the specified image with the given color and then drawing the image on top of it, but possibly more efficient.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the image area to be drawn has not yet been scaled, dithered, and converted for the current output device. If the current output representation is not yet complete then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that loads the image notifies the specified image observer.

This method always uses the unscaled version of the image to render the scaled rectangle and performs the required scaling on the fly. It does not use a cached, scaled version of the image for this operation. Scaling of the image from source to destination is performed such that the first coordinate of the source rectangle is mapped to the first coordinate of the destination rectangle, and the second source coordinate is mapped to the second destination coordinate. The subimage is scaled and flipped as needed to preserve those mappings.
Returns: false if the image pixels are still changing; true otherwise.

  Gets the font metrics of the current font.

  Gets the font metrics of the current font.
Returns: the font metrics of this graphics context's current font.
See Also: Graphics.getFont(), FontMetrics, Graphics.getFontMetrics(Font),

  Gets the font metrics for the specified font.

  Gets the font metrics for the specified font.
Returns: the font metrics for the specified font.
Parameters:
- f - the specified font

  Returns true if the specified rectangular area might intersect the current clipping area.

  Returns true if the specified rectangular area might intersect
the current clipping area.
The coordinates of the specified rectangular area are in the
user coordinate space and are relative to the coordinate
system origin of this graphics context.
This method may use an algorithm that calculates a result quickly
but which sometimes might return true even if the specified
rectangular area does not intersect the clipping area.
The specific algorithm employed may thus trade off accuracy for
speed, but it will never return false unless it can guarantee
that the specified rectangular area does not intersect the
current clipping area.
The clipping area used by this method can represent the
intersection of the user clip as specified through the clip
methods of this graphics context as well as the clipping
associated with the device or image bounds and window visibility.
Returns: true if the specified rectangle intersects the bounds of the current clip; false otherwise.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the rectangle to test against the clip
- y - the y coordinate of the rectangle to test against the clip
- width - the width of the rectangle to test against the clip
- height - the height of the rectangle to test against the clip

  Sets the current clip to the rectangle specified by the given coordinates.

  Sets the current clip to the rectangle specified by the given
coordinates. This method sets the user clip, which is
independent of the clipping associated with device bounds
and window visibility.
Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate of the new clip rectangle.
- y - the y coordinate of the new clip rectangle.
- width - the width of the new clip rectangle.
- height - the height of the new clip rectangle.
Since: JDK1.1

  Sets the current clipping area to an arbitrary clip shape.

  Sets the current clipping area to an arbitrary clip shape.
Not all objects that implement the Shape
interface can be used to set the clip. The only
Shape objects that are guaranteed to be
supported are Shape objects that are
obtained via the getClip method and via
Rectangle objects. This method sets the
user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated
with device bounds and window visibility.
Parameters:
- clip - the Shape to use to set the clip
Since: JDK1.1

  Sets this graphics context's current color to the specified color.

  Sets this graphics context's current color to the specified
color. All subsequent graphics operations using this graphics
context use this specified color.
Parameters:
- c - the new rendering color.
See Also: Color, Graphics.getColor(),

  Sets this graphics context's font to the specified font.

  Sets this graphics context's font to the specified font.
All subsequent text operations using this graphics context
use this font. A null argument is silently ignored.
Parameters:
- font - the font.

  Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to overwrite the destination with this graphics context's current color.

  Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to overwrite the
destination with this graphics context's current color.
This sets the logical pixel operation function to the paint or
overwrite mode. All subsequent rendering operations will
overwrite the destination with the current color.

  Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to alternate between this graphics context's current color and the new specified color.

  Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to alternate between this graphics context's current color and the new specified color. This specifies that logical pixel operations are performed in the XOR mode, which alternates pixels between the current color and a specified XOR color.

When drawing operations are performed, pixels which are the current color are changed to the specified color, and vice versa.

Pixels that are of colors other than those two colors are changed in an unpredictable but reversible manner; if the same figure is drawn twice, then all pixels are restored to their original values.
Parameters:
- c1 - the XOR alternation color

  Returns a String object representing this Graphics object's value.

  Returns a String object representing this
Graphics object's value.
Returns: a string representation of this graphics context.

  Translates the origin of the graphics context to the point (x, y) in the current coordinate system.

  Translates the origin of the graphics context to the point
(x, y) in the current coordinate system.
Modifies this graphics context so that its new origin corresponds
to the point (x, y) in this graphics context's
original coordinate system. All coordinates used in subsequent
rendering operations on this graphics context will be relative
to this new origin.
Parameters:
- x - the x coordinate.
- y - the y coordinate.
