This Graphics2D class extends the
 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.
 
Graphics2D object are specified 
 in a device-independent coordinate system called User Space, which is
 used by applications.  The Graphics2D object contains
 an AffineTransform object as part of its rendering state
 that defines how to convert coordinates from user space to
 device-dependent coordinates in Device Space.
 
 Coordinates in device space usually refer to individual device pixels
 and are aligned on the infinitely thin gaps between these pixels.
 Some Graphics2D 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 Graphics2D Transform 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.
 
 Some of the operations performed by the rendering attribute objects
 occur in the device space, but all Graphics2D methods take 
 user space coordinates.
 
 Every Graphics2D object is associated with a target that
 defines where rendering takes place. A
 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
 Graphics2D object. 
 
 When creating a Graphics2D object,  the 
 GraphicsConfiguration 
 specifies the default transform for
 the target of the Graphics2D (a 
 Component or 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
 Identity transform.
 
Graphics2D 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.
 The steps in the rendering process are:
Clip.
 The Clip is specified by a Shape in user
 space and is controlled by the program using the various clip
 manipulation methods of Graphics and
 Graphics2D.  This user clip
 is transformed into device space by the current
 Transform and combined with the
 device clip, which is defined by the visibility of windows and
 device extents.  The combination of the user clip and device clip
 defines the composite clip, which determines the final clipping
 region.  The user clip is not modified by the rendering
 system to reflect the resulting composite clip. 
 Composite attribute in the Graphics2D context.
 Shape operations
 draw(Shape) operation, then
 the  createStrokedShape 
 method on the current Stroke attribute in the
 Graphics2D context is used to construct a new
 Shape object that contains the outline of the specified
 Shape.
 Shape is transformed from user space to device space
 using the current Transform 
 in the Graphics2D context.
 Shape is extracted using the 
 getPathIterator method of
 Shape, which returns a
 PathIterator
 object that iterates along the boundary of the Shape.
 Graphics2D object cannot handle the curved segments
 that the PathIterator object returns then it can call the 
 alternate 
 getPathIterator
 method of Shape, which flattens the Shape.
 Paint in the Graphics2D context
 is queried for a PaintContext, which specifies the
 colors to render in device space.
 String:
 String, then the current
 Font in the Graphics2D context is asked to 
 convert the Unicode characters in the String into a set of 
 glyphs for presentation with whatever basic layout and shaping
 algorithms the font implements.
 AttributedCharacterIterator,
 the iterator is asked to convert itself to a
 TextLayout
 using its embedded font attributes. The TextLayout
 implements more sophisticated glyph layout algorithms that
 perform Unicode bi-directional layout adjustments automatically
 for multiple fonts of differing writing directions.
 GlyphVector, then the
 GlyphVector object already contains the appropriate
 font-specific glyph codes with explicit coordinates for the position of
 each glyph.
 Font 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.
 Shape operations.
 Paint is queried for a
 PaintContext, which specifies
 the colors to render in device space.
 Image Operations
 Image.
 This bounding box is specified in Image Space, which is the 
 Image object's local coordinate system. 
 AffineTransform is passed to 
 drawImage(Image, AffineTransform, ImageObserver), 
 the AffineTransform is used to transform the bounding
 box from image space to user space. If no AffineTransform 
 is supplied, the bounding box is treated as if it is already in user space.
 Image is transformed from user
 space into device space using the current Transform.
 Note that the result of transforming the bounding box does not
 necessarily result in a rectangular region in device space.
 Image object determines what colors to render, 
 sampled according to the source to destination
 coordinate mapping specified by the current Transform and the
 optional image transform.
 Graphics2D rendering attributes are:
 Paint
 Component.
 Font
 Font of the Component.
 Stroke
 Transform
 getDefaultTransform 
 for the GraphicsConfiguration of the Component.
 Composite
 AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER rule.
 Clip
 Clip, the output is clipped to the
 Component.
 
 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
 KEY_ANTIALIASING hint key
 to the
 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 
 KEY_ANTIALIASING hint
 key to
 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.
 
 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 draw and 
 fill methods are defined, which clearly indicates 
 how Graphics2D extends Graphics based 
 on settings of Stroke and Transform
 attributes and rendering hints.  The definition 
 performs identically under default attribute settings.  
 For example, the default Stroke is a 
 BasicStroke with a width of 1 and no dashing and the
 default Transform for screen drawing is an Identity transform.  
 
The following two rules provide predictable rendering behavior whether aliasing or antialiasing is being used.
BasicStroke
 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 
 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.
 The following definitions of general legacy methods perform identically to previously specified behavior under default attribute settings:
fill operations, including fillRect, 
 fillRoundRect, fillOval,
 fillArc, fillPolygon, and 
 clearRect, fill can now be called
 with the desired Shape.  For example, when filling a
 rectangle:
 fill(new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));is called.
drawLine, 
 drawRect, drawRoundRect,
 drawOval, drawArc, drawPolyline,
 and drawPolygon, draw can now be
 called with the desired Shape.  For example, when drawing a
 rectangle:
 draw(new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));is called.
draw3DRect and fill3DRect methods were
 implemented in terms of the drawLine and 
 fillRect methods in the Graphics class which
 would predicate their behavior upon the current Stroke
 and Paint objects in a Graphics2D context.
 This class overrides those implementations with versions that use
 the current Color exclusively, overriding the current
 Paint and which uses fillRect to describe
 the exact same behavior as the preexisting methods regardless of the
 setting of the current Stroke.
 Graphics class defines only the setColor
 method to control the color to be painted.  Since the Java 2D API extends
 the Color object to implement the new Paint 
 interface, the existing
 setColor method is now a convenience method for setting the 
 current Paint attribute to a Color object.  
 setColor(c) is equivalent to setPaint(c).
 
 The Graphics class defines two methods for controlling
 how colors are applied to the destination.
 
setPaintMode method is implemented as a convenience
 method to set the default Composite, equivalent to
 setComposite(new AlphaComposite.SrcOver).
 setXORMode(Color xorcolor) method is implemented
 as a convenience method to set a special Composite object that
 ignores the Alpha components of source colors and sets the
 destination color to the value:
 dstpixel = (PixelOf(srccolor) ^ PixelOf(xorcolor) ^ dstpixel);

Graphics2D object.  Since 
 Graphics2D is an abstract class, and since it must be
 customized by subclasses for different output devices,
 Graphics2D objects cannot be created directly.
 Instead, Graphics2D objects must be obtained from another 
 Graphics2D object, created by a 
 Component, or obtained from images such as
 BufferedImage objects.

Composite for the Graphics2D context.
 The Composite is used in all drawing methods such as 
 drawImage, drawString, draw,
 and fill.  It specifies how new pixels are to be combined 
 with the existing pixels on the graphics device during the rendering 
 process.
 If this Graphics2D context is drawing to a
 Component on the display screen and the
 Composite is a custom object rather than an
 instance of the AlphaComposite class, and if
 there is a security manager, its checkPermission
 method is called with an AWTPermission("readDisplayPixels")
 permission.

Graphics2D context to the 
 point (x, y) in the current coordinate system. 
 Modifies the Graphics2D context so that its new origin 
 corresponds to the point (x, y) in the 
 Graphics2D context's former coordinate system.  All 
 coordinates used in subsequent rendering operations on this graphics 
 context are relative to this new origin.
x - the x coordinate.y - the y coordinate.
public abstract void translate(double tx,
                               double ty)
Graphics2D Transform 
 with a translation transform. 
 Subsequent rendering is translated by the specified
 distance relative to the previous position.
 This is equivalent to calling transform(T), where T is an
 AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:
 [ 1 0 tx ] [ 0 1 ty ] [ 0 0 1 ]
tx - the distance to translate along the x-axisty - the distance to translate along the y-axispublic abstract void rotate(double theta)
Graphics2D
 Transform with a rotation transform. 
 Subsequent rendering is rotated by the specified radians relative
 to the previous origin.
 This is equivalent to calling transform(R), where R is an
 AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:
 [ cos(theta) -sin(theta) 0 ] [ sin(theta) cos(theta) 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]Rotating with a positive angle theta rotates points on the positive x axis toward the positive y axis.
theta - the angle of rotation in radians

Graphics2D 
 Transform with a translated rotation 
 transform.  Subsequent rendering is transformed by a transform
 which is constructed by translating to the specified location, 
 rotating by the specified radians, and translating back by the same
 amount as the original translation.  This is equivalent to the
 following sequence of calls:
 translate(x, y); rotate(theta); translate(-x, -y);Rotating with a positive angle theta rotates points on the positive x axis toward the positive y axis.
theta - the angle of rotation in radians
public abstract void scale(double sx,
                           double sy)
Graphics2D
 Transform with a scaling transformation 
 Subsequent rendering is resized according to the specified scaling
 factors relative to the previous scaling.
 This is equivalent to calling transform(S), where S is an
 AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:
 [ sx 0 0 ] [ 0 sy 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]
sx - the amount by which X coordinates in subsequent
 rendering operations are multiplied relative to previous
 rendering operations.sy - the amount by which Y coordinates in subsequent 
 rendering operations are multiplied relative to previous 
 rendering operations.
public abstract void shear(double shx,
                           double shy)
Graphics2D
 Transform with a shearing transform. 
 Subsequent renderings are sheared by the specified
 multiplier relative to the previous position.
 This is equivalent to calling transform(SH), where SH
 is an AffineTransform represented by the following
 matrix:
 [ 1 shx 0 ] [ shy 1 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]
shx - the multiplier by which coordinates are shifted in 
 the positive X axis direction as a function of their Y coordinateshy - the multiplier by which coordinates are shifted in
 the positive Y axis direction as a function of their X coordinatepublic abstract void transform(AffineTransform Tx)
AffineTransform object with the 
 Transform in this Graphics2D according 
 to the rule last-specified-first-applied.  If the current
 Transform is Cx, the result of composition
 with Tx is a new Transform Cx'.  Cx' becomes the
 current Transform for this Graphics2D.
 Transforming a point p by the updated Transform Cx' is
 equivalent to first transforming p by Tx and then transforming
 the result by the original Transform Cx.  In other
 words, Cx'(p) = Cx(Tx(p)).  A copy of the Tx is made, if necessary,
 so further modifications to Tx do not affect rendering.
Tx - the AffineTransform object to be composed with 
 the current TransformsetTransform(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform), 
AffineTransformpublic abstract void setTransform(AffineTransform Tx)
Graphics2D context.
 WARNING: This method should never be used to apply a new
 coordinate transform on top of an existing transform because the 
 Graphics2D might already have a transform that is
 needed for other purposes, such as rendering Swing 
 components or applying a scaling transformation to adjust for the
 resolution of a printer.  
 To add a coordinate transform, use the 
 transform, rotate, scale,
 or shear methods.  The setTransform 
 method is intended only for restoring the original 
 Graphics2D transform after rendering, as shown in this
 example:
 
// Get the current transform AffineTransform saveAT = g2.getTransform(); // Perform transformation g2d.transform(...); // Render g2d.draw(...); // Restore original transform g2d.setTransform(saveAT);

Graphics2D context. 
 The background color is used for clearing a region.
 When a Graphics2D is constructed for a
 Component, the background color is
 inherited from the Component. Setting the background color 
 in the Graphics2D context only affects the subsequent      
 clearRect calls and not the background color of the  
 Component.  To change the background
 of the Component, use appropriate methods of 
 the Component.

Clip with the interior of the
 specified Shape and sets the Clip to the
 resulting intersection.  The specified Shape is
 transformed with the current Graphics2D
 Transform before being intersected with the current 
 Clip.  This method is used to make the current
 Clip smaller.
 To make the Clip larger, use setClip.
 The user clip modified by this method is independent of the
 clipping associated with device bounds and visibility.  If no clip has 
 previously been set, or if the clip has been cleared using 
 setClip with a null
 argument, the specified Shape becomes the new 
 user clip.

          this method clears the current Clip.public abstract FontRenderContext getFontRenderContext()
Font within this 
 Graphics2D context.
 The FontRenderContext
 encapsulates application hints such as anti-aliasing and 
 fractional metrics, as well as target device specific information
 such as dots-per-inch.  This information should be provided by the
 application when using objects that perform typographical
 formatting, such as Font and
 TextLayout.  This information should also be provided
 by applications that perform their own layout and need accurate
 measurements of various characteristics of glyphs such as advance
 and line height when various rendering hints have been applied to
 the text rendering.
