Interface java.awt.PaintContext

public interface PaintContext
This interface defines the encapsulated and optimized environment for a paint operation, i.e. generating color patterns in device space for a fill or stroke operation on a Graphics2D. The PaintContext provides the necessary colors for Graphics2D operations in the form of a Raster associated with a ColorModel. The PaintContext maintains state for a particular paint operation. In a multi-threaded environment, several contexts may exist simultaneously for a single Paint object.
