 * The {@code RenderingHints} class defines and manages collections of

 * The {@link java.awt.Graphics2D} class, and classes that implement
 * {@link java.awt.image.BufferedImageOp} and
 * {@link java.awt.image.RasterOp} all provide methods to get and

 * <p>
 * Note that since these keys and values are <i>hints</i>, there is
 * no requirement that a given implementation supports all possible
 * choices indicated below or that it can respond to requests to
 * modify its choice of algorithm.
 * The values of the various hint keys may also interact such that
 * while all variants of a given key are supported in one situation,
 * the implementation may be more restricted when the values associated
 * with other keys are modified.
 * For example, some implementations may be able to provide several
 * types of dithering when the antialiasing hint is turned off, but
 * have little control over dithering when antialiasing is on.
 * The full set of supported keys and hints may also vary by destination
 * since runtimes may use different underlying modules to render to
 * the screen, or to {@link java.awt.image.BufferedImage} objects,
 * or while printing.
 * <p>
 * Implementations are free to ignore the hints completely, but should
 * try to use an implementation algorithm that is as close as possible
 * to the request.
 * If an implementation supports a given algorithm when any value is used
 * for an associated hint key, then minimally it must do so when the
 * value for that key is the exact value that specifies the algorithm.

     * Font fractional metrics hint key.
     * The {@code FRACTIONALMETRICS} hint controls whether the positioning
     * of individual character glyphs takes into account the sub-pixel
     * accuracy of the scaled character advances of the font or whether
     * such advance vectors are rounded to an integer number of whole
     * device pixels.
     * This hint only recommends how much accuracy should be used to
     * position the glyphs and does not specify or recommend whether or
     * not the actual rasterization or pixel bounds of the glyph should
     * be modified to match.
     * <p>
     * Rendering text to a low resolution device like a screen will
     * necessarily involve a number of rounding operations as the
     * high quality and very precise definition of the shape and
     * metrics of the character glyphs must be matched to discrete
     * device pixels.
     * Ideally the positioning of glyphs during text layout would be
     * calculated by scaling the design metrics in the font according
     * to the point size, but then the scaled advance width will not
     * necessarily be an integer number of pixels.
     * If the glyphs are positioned with sub-pixel accuracy according
     * to these scaled design metrics then the rasterization would
     * ideally need to be adjusted for each possible sub-pixel origin.
     * <p>
     * Unfortunately, scaling each glyph customized to its exact
     * subpixel origin during text layout would be prohibitively
     * expensive so a simplified system based on integer device
     * positions is typically used to lay out the text.
     * The rasterization of the glyph and the scaled advance width
     * are both adjusted together to yield text that looks good at
     * device resolution and has consistent integer pixel distances
     * between glyphs that help the glyphs look uniformly and
     * consistently spaced and readable.
     * <p>
     * This process of rounding advance widths for rasterized glyphs
     * to integer distances means that the character density and the
     * overall length of a string of text will be different from the
     * theoretical design measurements due to the accumulation of
     * a series of small differences in the adjusted widths of
     * each glyph.
     * The specific differences will be different for each glyph,
     * some being wider and some being narrower than their theoretical
     * design measurements.
     * Thus the overall difference in character density and length
     * will vary by a number of factors including the font, the
     * specific device resolution being targeted, and the glyphs
     * chosen to represent the string being rendered.
     * As a result, rendering the same string at multiple device
     * resolutions can yield widely varying metrics for whole strings.
     * <p>
     * When {@code FRACTIONALMETRICS} are enabled, the true font design
     * metrics are scaled by the point size and used for layout with
     * sub-pixel accuracy.
     * The average density of glyphs and total length of a long
     * string of characters will therefore more closely match the
     * theoretical design of the font, but readability may be affected
     * since individual pairs of characters may not always appear to
     * be consistent distances apart depending on how the sub-pixel
     * accumulation of the glyph origins meshes with the device pixel
     * grid.
     * Enabling this hint may be desirable when text layout is being
     * performed that must be consistent across a wide variety of
     * output resolutions.
     * Specifically, this hint may be desirable in situations where
     * the layout of text is being previewed on a low resolution
     * device like a screen for output that will eventually be
     * rendered on a high resolution printer or typesetting device.
     * <p>
     * When disabled, the scaled design metrics are rounded or adjusted
     * to integer distances for layout.
     * The distances between any specific pair of glyphs will be more
     * uniform on the device, but the density and total length of long
     * strings may no longer match the theoretical intentions of the
     * font designer.

     * must first convert that color into a form suitable for
     * storing into the destination image or surface.
