/**
 * This <code>Graphics2D</code> class extends the
 * {@link Graphics} class to provide more sophisticated
 * control over geometry, coordinate transformations, color management,
 * and text layout.  This is the fundamental class for rendering
 * 2-dimensional shapes, text and images on the  Java(tm) platform.
 * <p>
 * <h2>Coordinate Spaces</h2>
 * All coordinates passed to a <code>Graphics2D</code> object are specified 
 * in a device-independent coordinate system called User Space, which is
 * used by applications.  The <code>Graphics2D</code> object contains
 * an {@link AffineTransform} object as part of its rendering state
 * that defines how to convert coordinates from user space to
 * device-dependent coordinates in Device Space.
 * <p>
 * Coordinates in device space usually refer to individual device pixels
 * and are aligned on the infinitely thin gaps between these pixels.
 * Some <code>Graphics2D</code> objects can be used to capture rendering 
 * operations for storage into a graphics metafile for playback on a
 * concrete device of unknown physical resolution at a later time.  Since
 * the resolution might not be known when the rendering operations are
 * captured, the <code>Graphics2D</code> <code>Transform</code> is set up
 * to transform user coordinates to a virtual device space that
 * approximates the expected resolution of the target device. Further
 * transformations might need to be applied at playback time if the
 * estimate is incorrect.
 * <p>
 * Some of the operations performed by the rendering attribute objects
 * occur in the device space, but all <code>Graphics2D</code> methods take 
 * user space coordinates.
 * <p>
 * Every <code>Graphics2D</code> object is associated with a target that
 * defines where rendering takes place. A
 * {@link GraphicsConfiguration} object defines the characteristics
 * of the rendering target, such as pixel format and resolution.
 * The same rendering target is used throughout the life of a
 * <code>Graphics2D</code> object. 
 * <p>
 * When creating a <code>Graphics2D</code> object,  the 
 * <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> 
 * specifies the <a name="#deftransform">default transform</a> for
 * the target of the <code>Graphics2D</code> (a 
 * {@link Component} or {@link Image}).  This default transform maps the
 * user space coordinate system to screen and printer device coordinates
 * such that the origin maps to the upper left hand corner of the
 * target region of the device with increasing X coordinates extending
 * to the right and increasing Y coordinates extending downward.
 * The scaling of the default transform is set to identity for those devices 
 * that are close to 72 dpi, such as screen devices.
 * The scaling of the default transform is set to approximately 72 user 
 * space coordinates per square inch for high resolution devices, such as
 * printers.  For image buffers, the default transform is the
 * <code>Identity</code> transform.
 *
 * <h2>Rendering Process</h2>
 * The Rendering Process can be broken down into four phases that are 
 * controlled by the <code>Graphics2D</code> rendering attributes.
 * The renderer can optimize many of these steps, either by caching the
 * results for future calls, by collapsing multiple virtual steps into
 * a single operation, or by recognizing various attributes as common
 * simple cases that can be eliminated by modifying other parts of the
 * operation.
 * <p>
 * The steps in the rendering process are:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * Determine what to render.  
 * <li>
 * Constrain the rendering operation to the current <code>Clip</code>.
 * The <code>Clip</code> is specified by a {@link Shape} in user
 * space and is controlled by the program using the various clip
 * manipulation methods of <code>Graphics</code> and
 * <code>Graphics2D</code>.  This <i>user clip</i>
 * is transformed into device space by the current
 * <code>Transform</code> 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 is not modified by the rendering
 * system to reflect the resulting composite clip. 
 * <li>
 * Determine what colors to render.
 * <li>
 * Apply the colors to the destination drawing surface using the current
 * {@link Composite} attribute in the <code>Graphics2D</code> context.
 * </ol>
 * <br>
 * The three types of rendering operations, along with details of each 
 * of their particular rendering processes are:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * <b><a name="rendershape"><code>Shape</code> operations</a></b>
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * If the operation is a <code>draw(Shape)</code> operation, then
 * the  {@link Stroke#createStrokedShape(Shape) createStrokedShape} 
 * method on the current {@link Stroke} attribute in the
 * <code>Graphics2D</code> context is used to construct a new
 * <code>Shape</code> object that contains the outline of the specified
 * <code>Shape</code>.
 * <li>
 * The <code>Shape</code> is transformed from user space to device space
 * using the current <code>Transform</code> 
 * in the <code>Graphics2D</code> context.
 * <li>
 * The outline of the <code>Shape</code> is extracted using the 
 * {@link Shape#getPathIterator(AffineTransform) getPathIterator} method of
 * <code>Shape</code>, which returns a
 * {@link java.awt.geom.PathIterator PathIterator}
 * object that iterates along the boundary of the <code>Shape</code>.
 * <li>
 * If the <code>Graphics2D</code> object cannot handle the curved segments
 * that the <code>PathIterator</code> object returns then it can call the 
 * alternate 
 * {@link Shape#getPathIterator(AffineTransform, double) getPathIterator}
 * method of <code>Shape</code>, which flattens the <code>Shape</code>.
 * <li>
 * The current {@link Paint} in the <code>Graphics2D</code> context
 * is queried for a {@link PaintContext}, which specifies the
 * colors to render in device space.
 * </ol>
 * <li>
 * <b><a name=rendertext>Text operations</a></b>
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * The following steps are used to determine the set of glyphs required
 * to render the indicated <code>String</code>:
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * If the argument is a <code>String</code>, then the current
 * <code>Font</code> in the <code>Graphics2D</code> context is asked to 
 * convert the Unicode characters in the <code>String</code> into a set of 
 * glyphs for presentation with whatever basic layout and shaping
 * algorithms the font implements.
 * <li>
 * If the argument is an
 * {@link AttributedCharacterIterator},
 * the iterator is asked to convert itself to a
 * {@link java.awt.font.TextLayout TextLayout}
 * using its embedded font attributes. The <code>TextLayout</code>
 * implements more sophisticated glyph layout algorithms that
 * perform Unicode bi-directional layout adjustments automatically
 * for multiple fonts of differing writing directions.
  * <li>
 * If the argument is a
 * {@link GlyphVector}, then the
 * <code>GlyphVector</code> object already contains the appropriate
 * font-specific glyph codes with explicit coordinates for the position of
 * each glyph.
 * </ol>
 * <li>
 * The current <code>Font</code> is queried to obtain outlines for the 
 * indicated glyphs.  These outlines are treated as shapes in user space 
 * relative to the position of each glyph that was determined in step 1.
 * <li>
 * The character outlines are filled as indicated above
 * under <a href="#rendershape"><code>Shape</code> operations</a>.
 * <li>
 * The current <code>Paint</code> is queried for a
 * <code>PaintContext</code>, which specifies
 * the colors to render in device space.
 * </ol>
 * <li>
 * <b><a name= renderingimage><code>Image</code> Operations</a></b>
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * The region of interest is defined by the bounding box of the source 
 * <code>Image</code>.
 * This bounding box is specified in Image Space, which is the 
 * <code>Image</code> object's local coordinate system. 
 * <li>
 * If an <code>AffineTransform</code> is passed to 
 * {@link #drawImage(java.awt.Image, java.awt.geom.AffineTransform, java.awt.image.ImageObserver) drawImage(Image, AffineTransform, ImageObserver)}, 
 * the <code>AffineTransform</code> is used to transform the bounding
 * box from image space to user space. If no <code>AffineTransform</code> 
 * is supplied, the bounding box is treated as if it is already in user space.
 * <li>
 * The bounding box of the source <code>Image</code> is transformed from user
 * space into device space using the current <code>Transform</code>.
 * Note that the result of transforming the bounding box does not
 * necessarily result in a rectangular region in device space.
 * <li>
 * The <code>Image</code> object determines what colors to render, 
 * sampled according to the source to destination
 * coordinate mapping specified by the current <code>Transform</code> and the
 * optional image transform.
 * </ol>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <h2>Default Rendering Attributes</h2>
 * The default values for the <code>Graphics2D</code> rendering attributes are:
 * <dl compact>
 * <dt><i><code>Paint</code></i>
 * <dd>The color of the <code>Component</code>.
 * <dt><i><code>Font</code></i>
 * <dd>The <code>Font</code> of the <code>Component</code>.
 * <dt><i><code>Stroke</code></i>
 * <dd>A square pen with a linewidth of 1, no dashing, miter segment joins
 * and square end caps.
 * <dt><i><code>Transform</code></i>
 * <dd>The 
 * {@link GraphicsConfiguration#getDefaultTransform() getDefaultTransform} 
 * for the <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> of the <code>Component</code>.
 * <dt><i><code>Composite</code></i>
 * <dd>The {@link AlphaComposite#SRC_OVER} rule.
 * <dt><i><code>Clip</code></i>
 * <dd>No rendering <code>Clip</code>, the output is clipped to the
 * <code>Component</code>.
 * </dl>
 *
 * <h2>Rendering Compatibility Issues</h2>
 * The JDK(tm) 1.1 rendering model is based on a pixelization model 
 * that specifies that coordinates
 * are infinitely thin, lying between the pixels.  Drawing operations are 
 * performed using a one-pixel wide pen that fills the 
 * pixel below and to the right of the anchor point on the path.  
 * The JDK 1.1 rendering model is consistent with the 
 * capabilities of most of the existing class of platform 
 * renderers that need  to resolve integer coordinates to a 
 * discrete pen that must fall completely on a specified number of pixels.  
 * <p>
 * The Java 2D(tm) (Java(tm) 2 platform) API supports antialiasing renderers. 
 * A pen with a width of one pixel does not need to fall 
 * completely on pixel N as opposed to pixel N+1.  The pen can fall 
 * partially on both pixels. It is not necessary to choose a bias 
 * direction for a wide pen since the blending that occurs along the 
 * pen traversal edges makes the sub-pixel position of the pen 
 * visible to the user.  On the other hand, when antialiasing is 
 * turned off by setting the
 * {@link RenderingHints#KEY_ANTIALIASING KEY_ANTIALIASING} hint key
 * to the
 * {@link RenderingHints#VALUE_ANTIALIAS_OFF VALUE_ANTIALIAS_OFF} 
 * hint value, the renderer might need 
 * to apply a bias to determine which pixel to modify when the pen 
 * is straddling a pixel boundary, such as when it is drawn
 * along an integer coordinate in device space.  While the capabilities
 * of an antialiasing renderer make it no longer necessary for the
 * rendering model to specify a bias for the pen, it is desirable for the
 * antialiasing and non-antialiasing renderers to perform similarly for
 * the common cases of drawing one-pixel wide horizontal and vertical 
 * lines on the screen.  To ensure that turning on antialiasing by 
 * setting the 
 * {@link RenderingHints#KEY_ANTIALIASING KEY_ANTIALIASING} hint
 * key to
 * {@link RenderingHints#VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON}
 * does not cause such lines to suddenly become twice as wide and half
 * as opaque, it is desirable to have the model specify a path for such
 * lines so that they completely cover a particular set of pixels to help
 * increase their crispness.
 * <p>
 * Java 2D API maintains compatibility with JDK 1.1 rendering 
 * behavior, such that legacy operations and existing renderer
 * behavior is unchanged under Java 2D API.  Legacy
 * methods that map onto general <code>draw</code> and 
 * <code>fill</code> methods are defined, which clearly indicates 
 * how <code>Graphics2D</code> extends <code>Graphics</code> based 
 * on settings of <code>Stroke</code> and <code>Transform</code>
 * attributes and rendering hints.  The definition 
 * performs identically under default attribute settings.  
 * For example, the default <code>Stroke</code> is a 
 * <code>BasicStroke</code> with a width of 1 and no dashing and the
 * default Transform for screen drawing is an Identity transform.  
 * <p>
 * The following two rules provide predictable rendering behavior whether
 * aliasing or antialiasing is being used.
 * <ul>
 * <li> Device coordinates are defined to be between device pixels which
 * avoids any inconsistent results between aliased and antaliased
 * rendering.  If coordinates were defined to be at a pixel's center, some
 * of the pixels covered by a shape, such as a rectangle, would only be
 * half covered.
 * With aliased rendering, the half covered pixels would either be 
 * rendered inside the shape or outside the shape.  With anti-aliased
 * rendering, the pixels on the entire edge of the shape would be half
 * covered.  On the other hand, since coordinates are defined to be
 * between pixels, a shape like a rectangle would have no half covered
 * pixels, whether or not it is rendered using antialiasing. 
 * <li> Lines and paths stroked using the <code>BasicStroke</code>
 * object may be "normalized" to provide consistent rendering of the
 * outlines when positioned at various points on the drawable and
 * whether drawn with aliased or antialiased rendering.  This
 * normalization process is controlled by the 
 * {@link RenderingHints#KEY_STROKE_CONTROL KEY_STROKE_CONTROL} hint.
 * The exact normalization algorithm is not specified, but the goals
 * of this normalization are to ensure that lines are rendered with
 * consistent visual appearance regardless of how they fall on the
 * pixel grid and to promote more solid horizontal and vertical
 * lines in antialiased mode so that they resemble their non-antialiased
 * counterparts more closely.  A typical normalization step might
 * promote antialiased line endpoints to pixel centers to reduce the
 * amount of blending or adjust the subpixel positioning of
 * non-antialiased lines so that the floating point line widths
 * round to even or odd pixel counts with equal likelihood.  This
 * process can move endpoints by up to half a pixel (usually towards
 * positive infinity along both axes) to promote these consistent
 * results.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The following definitions of general legacy methods 
 * perform identically to previously specified behavior under default 
 * attribute settings:
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * For <code>fill</code> operations, including <code>fillRect</code>, 
 * <code>fillRoundRect</code>, <code>fillOval</code>,
 * <code>fillArc</code>, <code>fillPolygon</code>, and 
 * <code>clearRect</code>, {@link #fill(Shape) fill} can now be called
 * with the desired <code>Shape</code>.  For example, when filling a
 * rectangle:
 * <pre>
 * fill(new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));
 * </pre>
 * is called.
 * <p>
 * <li>
 * Similarly, for draw operations, including <code>drawLine</code>, 
 * <code>drawRect</code>, <code>drawRoundRect</code>,
 * <code>drawOval</code>, <code>drawArc</code>, <code>drawPolyline</code>,
 * and <code>drawPolygon</code>, {@link #draw(Shape) draw} can now be
 * called with the desired <code>Shape</code>.  For example, when drawing a
 * rectangle:
 * <pre>
 * draw(new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));
 * </pre>
 * is called.
 * <p>
 * <li>
 * The <code>draw3DRect</code> and <code>fill3DRect</code> methods were
 * implemented in terms of the <code>drawLine</code> and 
 * <code>fillRect</code> methods in the <code>Graphics</code> class which
 * would predicate their behavior upon the current <code>Stroke</code>
 * and <code>Paint</code> objects in a <code>Graphics2D</code> context.
 * This class overrides those implementations with versions that use
 * the current <code>Color</code> exclusively, overriding the current
 * <code>Paint</code> and which uses <code>fillRect</code> to describe
 * the exact same behavior as the preexisting methods regardless of the
 * setting of the current <code>Stroke</code>.
 * </ul>
 * The <code>Graphics</code> class defines only the <code>setColor</code>
 * method to control the color to be painted.  Since the Java 2D API extends
 * the <code>Color</code> object to implement the new <code>Paint</code> 
 * interface, the existing
 * <code>setColor</code> method is now a convenience method for setting the 
 * current <code>Paint</code> attribute to a <code>Color</code> object.  
 * <code>setColor(c)</code> is equivalent to <code>setPaint(c)</code>.
 * <p>
 * The <code>Graphics</code> class defines two methods for controlling
 * how colors are applied to the destination.
 * <ol>
 * <li>
 * The <code>setPaintMode</code> method is implemented as a convenience
 * method to set the default <code>Composite</code>, equivalent to
 * <code>setComposite(new AlphaComposite.SrcOver)</code>.
 * <li>
 * The <code>setXORMode(Color xorcolor)</code> method is implemented
 * as a convenience method to set a special <code>Composite</code> object that
 * ignores the <code>Alpha</code> components of source colors and sets the
 * destination color to the value:
 * <pre>
 * dstpixel = (PixelOf(srccolor) ^ PixelOf(xorcolor) ^ dstpixel);
 * </pre>
 * </ol>
