<a name="70029"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> extends <kbd>java.awt.Graphics </kbd>to provide more sophisticated control over the presentation of shapes, text, and images. The Java 2D rendering process is controlled through the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> object and its state attributes. <p>
<a name="68316"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> state attributes, such as line styles and transformations, are applied to graphic objects when they are rendered. The collection of state attributes associated with a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> is referred to as the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. To render text, shapes, or images, you set up the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context and then call one of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> rendering methods, such as <kbd>draw</kbd> or <kbd>fill</kbd>.<p>

<h2><a name="63340"><i>2.2	</i> Rendering Concepts
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="67675"><!-- --></a>
To render a graphic object using the Java 2D API, you set up the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context and pass the graphic object to one of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> rendering methods. <p>
<a name="67676"><!-- --></a>
You can modify the state attributes that form the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context to: <p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="68359"><!-- --></a>
Vary the stroke width.
</li>
<li>
<a name="68360"><!-- --></a>
Change how strokes are joined together.
</li>
<li>
<a name="61830"><!-- --></a>
Set a clipping path to limit the area that is rendered.
</li>
<li>
<a name="68302"><!-- --></a>
Translate, rotate, scale, or shear objects when they are rendered.
</li>
<li>
<a name="68365"><!-- --></a>
Define colors and patterns to fill shapes with.
</li>
<li>
<a name="61834"><!-- --></a>
Specify how multiple graphics objects should be composed.
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="67162"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> defines several methods for adding and changing attributes in the graphics context. Most of these methods take an object that represents a particular attribute, such as a <kbd>Paint</kbd> or <kbd>Stroke</kbd> object. <p>
<a name="68341"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context holds <em>references</em> to these attribute objects: they are not cloned. If you alter an attribute object that is part of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, you need to call the appropriate <kbd>set</kbd> method to notify the context. Modifying an attribute object during a rendering operation will cause unpredictable and possibly unstable behavior. <p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="67506"><!-- --></a>
<i>2.2.1	</i> Rendering Process
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="67507"><!-- --></a>
When a graphic object is rendered, the geometry, image, and attribute information are combined to calculate which pixel values must be changed on the display. <p>
<a name="67528"><!-- --></a>
The rendering process for a <kbd>Shape</kbd> can be broken down into four steps:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><ol>
<li>
<a name="67534"><!-- --></a>
If the <kbd>Shape</kbd> is to be stroked, the <kbd>Stroke</kbd> attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context is used to generate a new <kbd>Shape</kbd> that encompasses the stroked path. 
</li>

<li>
<a name="68346"><!-- --></a>
The coordinates of the <kbd>Shape</kbd>&#39;s path are transformed from user space into device space according to the transform attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context.
</li>

<li>
<a name="67511"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Shape</kbd>&#39;s path is clipped using the clip attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context.
</li>

<li>
<a name="67512"><!-- --></a>
The remaining <kbd>Shape</kbd>, if any, is filled using the <kbd>Paint</kbd> and <kbd>Composite</kbd> attributes in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context.
</li>

</ol></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="67513"><!-- --></a>
Rendering text is similar to rendering a <kbd>Shape</kbd>, since the text is rendered as individual glyphs and each glyph is a <kbd>Shape</kbd>. The only difference is that the Java 2D API must determine what <kbd>Font</kbd> to apply to the text and get the appropriate glyphs from the <kbd>Font</kbd> before rendering.<p>
<a name="67514"><!-- --></a>
Images are handled differently, transformations and clipping operations are performed on the image&#39;s bounding box. The color information is taken from the image itself and its alpha channel is used in conjunction with the current <kbd>Composite</kbd> attribute when the image pixels are composited onto the rendering surface.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="61856"><!-- --></a>
<i>2.2.2	</i> Controlling Rendering Quality
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="68861"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API lets you indicate whether you want objects to be rendered as quickly as possible, or whether you prefer that the rendering quality be as high as possible. Your preferences are specified as hints through the <kbd>RenderingHints</kbd> attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. Not all platforms support modification of the rendering mode so specifying rendering hints does not guarantee that they will be used.<p>
<a name="69745"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>RenderingHints</kbd> class supports the following types of hints:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="69749"><!-- --></a>
Alpha interpolation&#45;&#45;can be set to default, quality, or speed. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="69750"><!-- --></a>

</li>
<li>
<a name="69930"><!-- --></a>

</li>
<li>
<a name="69932"><!-- --></a>
Text antialiasing&#45;&#45;can be set to default, on, or off. 
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="69990"><!-- --></a>
To set or change the <kbd>RenderingHints</kbd> attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, you call <kbd>setRenderingHints</kbd>. When a hint is set to default, the platform rendering default is used is used.<p>

<a name="69228"><!-- --></a>
When graphics primitives are rendered on raster-graphics display devices, their edges can appear jagged because of <em>aliasing</em>. Arcs and diagonal lines take on a jagged appearance because they are approximated by turning on the pixels that are closest to the path of the line or curve. This is particularly noticeable on low-resolution devices, where the jagged edges appear in stark contrast to the smooth edges of horizontal or vertical lines. <p>
<a name="69327"><!-- --></a>
<em>Antialiasing</em> is a technique used to render objects with smoother-appearing edges. Instead of simply turning on the pixel that is closest to the line or curve, the intensity of surrounding pixels is set in proportion to the amount of area covered by the geometry being rendered. This softens the edges and spreads the on-off transition over multiple pixels. However, antialiasing requires additional computing resources and can reduce rendering speed.<p><center><img src="j2d-awt.fm.anc.gif"></center><p>

<i>2.2.3	</i> Stroke Attributes
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="67742"><!-- --></a>
Stroking a <kbd>Shape</kbd> such as a <kbd>GeneralPath</kbd> object is equivalent to running a logical pen along the segments of the <kbd>GeneralPath</kbd>. The <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> <kbd>Stroke</kbd> attribute defines the characteristics of the mark drawn by the pen.<p>
<a name="67856"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>A BasicStroke</kbd> object is used to define the stroke attributes for a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. <kbd>BasicStroke</kbd> defines characteristics such as the line width, endcap style, segment join-style, and the dashing pattern. To set or change the <kbd>Stroke</kbd> attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, you call <kbd>setStroke</kbd>.<p>

For example, the first image in <a href="j2d-awt.fm2.html#61897">Figure&#160;2-3</a> uses the miter join-style; the second image uses a round join-style, a round endcap style, and a dashing pattern.<p>

<b>Figure 2-3	</b> Stroke Styles

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="68772"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> rendering methods that use the <kbd>Stroke</kbd> attribute are <kbd>draw</kbd>, <kbd>drawArc</kbd>, <kbd>drawLine</kbd>, <kbd>drawOval</kbd>, <kbd>drawPolygon</kbd>, <kbd>drawPolyline</kbd>, <kbd>drawRect</kbd>, and <kbd>drawRoundRect</kbd>.When one of these methods is called, the outline of the specified <kbd>Shape</kbd> is rendered. The <kbd>Stroke</kbd> attribute defines the line characteristics and the <kbd>Paint</kbd> attribute defines the color or pattern of the mark drawn by the pen. <p>
<a name="68775"><!-- --></a>
For example, when <kbd>draw(myRectangle)</kbd> is called:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><ol>
<li>
<a name="68709"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Stroke</kbd> is applied to the rectangle&#39;s outline.

<i>2.2.4	</i> Fill Attributes

<blockquote>
<a name="70203"><!-- --></a>
The fill attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context is represented by a <kbd>Paint</kbd> object. You add a <kbd>Paint</kbd> to the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context by calling <kbd>setPaint</kbd>. <p>
<a name="70204"><!-- --></a>
When a <kbd>Shape</kbd> or glyph is drawn (<kbd>Graphics2D.draw</kbd>, <kbd>Graphics2D.drawString</kbd>), the <kbd>Paint</kbd> is applied to all of the pixels that lie inside of the <kbd>Shape</kbd> that represents the object&#39;s stroked outline. When a <kbd>Shape</kbd> is filled (<kbd>Graphics2D.fill</kbd>), the <kbd>Paint</kbd> is applied to all of the pixels that lie within the <kbd>Shape</kbd>&#39;<kbd>s</kbd> contour.<p>
<a name="70205"><!-- --></a>
Simple solid color fills can be set with the <kbd>setColor</kbd> method. <kbd>Color</kbd> is the simplest implementation of the <kbd>Paint</kbd> interface. <p>
<a name="70206"><!-- --></a>
To fill <kbd>Shapes</kbd> with more complex paint styles such as gradients and textures, you use the Java 2D <kbd>Paint</kbd> classes <kbd>GradientPaint</kbd> and <kbd>TexturePaint</kbd>. These classes eliminate the time-consuming task of creating complex fills using simple solid-color paints. <a href="j2d-awt.fm2.html#70216">Figure&#160;2-5</a> illustrates two fills that could easily be defined by <kbd>GradientPaint</kbd> and <kbd>TexturePaint</kbd>.<p>

<i>2.2.5	</i> Clipping Paths
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="68463"><!-- --></a>
A <em>clipping path</em> identifies the portion of a <kbd>Shape</kbd> or <kbd>Image</kbd> that needs to be rendered. When a clipping path is part of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, only those parts of a <kbd>Shape</kbd> or <kbd>Image</kbd> that lie within the path are rendered. <p>
<a name="68464"><!-- --></a>
To add a clipping path to the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, you call <kbd>setClip</kbd>. Any <kbd>Shape</kbd> can be used to define the clipping path. <p>
<a name="68778"><!-- --></a>
To change the clipping path, you can either use <kbd>setClip</kbd> to specify a new path or call <kbd>clip</kbd> to change the clipping path to the intersection of the old clipping path and a new <kbd>Shape</kbd>.<p>
</blockquote>

<a name="68474"><!-- --></a>
<i>2.2.6	</i> Transformations
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="68950"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context contains a transform that is used to transform objects from user space to device space during rendering. To perform additional transformations, such as rotation or scaling, you can add other transforms to the   <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. These additional transforms become part of the pipeline of transformations applied during rendering. <p>
<a name="68965"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> provides several different ways to modify the transform in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. The simplest is to call one of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> transformation methods: <kbd>rotate</kbd>, <kbd>scale</kbd>, <kbd>shear</kbd>, or <kbd>translate</kbd>. You specify the characteristics of the transform that you want to be applied during rendering, and <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> automatically makes the appropriate changes.<p>
<a name="68966"><!-- --></a>
You can also explicitly <em>concatenate</em> an <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> with the current <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> transform. An <kbd>AffineTransform </kbd>performs a linear transformation such as translation, scaling, rotation, or shearing on a set of graphics primitives. When a transform is concatenated with an existing transform, the last transform specified is the <em>first</em> to be applied. To concatenate a transform with the current transform, you pass an <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> to <kbd>Graphics2D.transform</kbd>. <p>
<a name="68967"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> also provides a version of <kbd>drawImage</kbd> that takes an <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> as a parameter. This enables you to apply a transformation to an image object when it is drawn without permanently modifying the transformation pipeline. The image is drawn as if you had concatenated the transform with the current transform in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context.<p>

The Java 2D API provides one transform class, <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd>. <kbd>AffineTransforms</kbd> are used to transform text, shapes, and images when they are rendered. You can also apply transforms to <kbd>Font</kbd> objects to create new font derivations, as discussed in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm6.html#74065">&#34;Creating Font Derivations&#34; on page&#160;65</a>.<p>
<a name="69007"><!-- --></a>
An affine transformation performs a linear transformation on a set of graphics primitives. It always transforms straight lines into straight lines and parallel lines into parallel lines; however, the distance between points and the angles between nonparallel lines might be altered. <p>
<a name="69008"><!-- --></a>
Affine transformations are based on two-dimensional matrices of the following form:<p>
<a name="69009"></a>
<p><a name="69019"></a>
<p><center><img src="j2d-awt.fm.anc6.gif"></center>  where <p><center><img src="j2d-awt.fm.anc7.gif"></center> and <p><center><img src="j2d-awt.fm.anc8.gif"></center><p><a name="69020"></a>
<p><a name="69021"><!-- --></a>
Transforms can be combined, effectively creating a series or <em>pipeline</em> of transformations that can be applied to an object. This combination is referred to as <em>concatenation</em>. When a transform is concatenated with an existing transform, such as with <kbd>AffineTransform.concatenate</kbd>, the last transform specified is the <em>first</em> to be applied. A transform can also be <em>pre-concatenated</em> with an existing transform. In this case, the last transform specified is the <em>last</em> to be applied. <p>
<a name="68990"><!-- --></a>
Pre-concatenation is used to perform transformations relative to device space instead of user space. For example, you could use <kbd>AffineTransform.preConcatenate</kbd> to perform a translation relative to absolute pixel space.<p>

<i>2.2.7	</i> Composite Attributes
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="68322"><!-- --></a>
When two graphic objects overlap, it is necessary to determine what colors to render the overlapping pixels. For example, if a red rectangle and a blue rectangle overlap, the pixels that they share could be rendered red, blue, or some combination of the two. The color of the pixels in the overlapping area will determine which rectangle appears to be on top and how transparent it looks. The process of determining what color to render pixels shared by overlapping objects is called <em>compositing</em>.<p>
<a name="67997"><!-- --></a>
Two interfaces form the basis of the Java 2D compositing model: <kbd>Composite</kbd> and <kbd>CompositeContext</kbd>. <p>
<a name="68671"><!-- --></a>
To specify the compositing style that should be used, you add an <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object to the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context by calling <kbd>setComposite</kbd>. <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd>, an implementation of the <kbd>Composite</kbd> interface, supports a number of different compositing styles. Instances of this class embody a compositing rule that describes how to blend a new color with an existing one. <p>
<a name="68680"><!-- --></a>
One of the most commonly used compositing rules in the <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> class is SRC_OVER, which indicates that the new color (the source color) should be blended over the existing color (the destination color).

<h4><i>2.2.7.1	 Managing Transparency
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="69138"><!-- --></a>
A color&#39;s <em>alpha</em> value is a measure of its transparency: it indicates, as a percentage, how much of a previously rendered color should show through when colors overlap. Opaque colors (<kbd>alpha=1.0</kbd>) don&#39;t allow any of the underlying color to show through, while transparent colors (<kbd>alpha=0.0</kbd>) let all of it show through.<p>
<a name="69162"><!-- --></a>
When text and <kbd>Shapes</kbd> are rendered, the alpha<em> </em>value<em> </em>is derived from the <kbd>Paint </kbd>attribute in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. When <kbd>Shapes</kbd> and text are antialiased, the alpha value from the <kbd>Paint</kbd> in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context is combined with pixel coverage information from the rasterized path. Images maintain their own alpha information&#45;&#45;see <a href="j2d-awt.fm2.html#64995">&#34;Transparency and Images&#34; on page&#160;26</a> for more information.<p>
<a name="64994"><!-- --></a>
When you construct an <kbd>AlphaComposite </kbd>object, you can specify an additional alpha value. When you add this <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object to the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, this extra alpha value increases the transparency of any graphic objects that are rendered&#45;&#45;the alpha value of each graphic object is multiplied by the <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd>&#39;s alpha value. <p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<a name="64995"><!-- --></a>
<h4><i>2.2.7.2	 Transparency and Images
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="62010"><!-- --></a>
Images can carry transparency information for each pixel in the image. This information, called an <em>alpha channel</em>, is used in conjunction with the <kbd>Composite</kbd> object in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context to blend the image with existing drawings. <p>
<a name="62014"><!-- --></a>
For example, <a href="j2d-awt.fm2.html#62022">Figure&#160;2-6</a> contains three images with different transparency information. In each case, the image is displayed over a blue rectangle. This example assumes that the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context contains an <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object that uses SRC_OVER as the compositing operation.<p>

</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="62023"><!-- --></a>
In the first image, all of the pixels are either fully opaque (the dog&#39;s body) or fully transparent (the background). This effect is often used on Web pages. In the second image, all of the pixels in the dog&#39;s body are rendered using a uniform, non-opaque alpha value, allowing the blue background to show through. In the third image, the pixels around the dogs face are fully opaque (alpha=1.0), but as the distance from its face increases, the alpha values for the pixels decrease.<p>

<blockquote>
<a name="64024"><!-- --></a>
An <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> encapsulates composition rules that determine how colors should be rendered when one object overlaps another. To specify the composition style for the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context, you create an <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> and pass it into <kbd>setComposite</kbd>.

<h4><i>2.3.6.1	 Using the Source Over Compositing Rule
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="64129"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>SRC_OVER</kbd> compositing rule composites the source pixel over the destination pixel such that the shared pixel takes the color of the source pixel. For example, if you render a blue rectangle and then render a red rectangle that partially overlaps it, the overlapping area will be red. In other words, the object that is rendered last will appear to be on top.<p>

To use the <kbd>SRC_OVER</kbd> composition rule:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><ol>
<li>
<a name="64148"><!-- --></a>
Create an <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object by calling <kbd>getInstance</kbd> and specifying the <kbd>SRC_OVER</kbd> rule.

<h4><i>2.3.6.2	 Increasing the Transparency of Composited Objects

<kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> allows you to specify an additional constant alpha value that is multiplied with the alpha of the source pixels to increase transparency. <p>

<h2><a name="61882"><i>2.8	</i> Compositing Images
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="64024"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context includes a <kbd>Composite</kbd> object that encapsulates the composition style to use if objects overlap. <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> implements a number of common composition rules that support blending and transparency effects. The most commonly used is <kbd>SRC_OVER</kbd>.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="62986"><!-- --></a>
<i>2.8.1	</i> Using the Source Over Composition Rule
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="64129"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>SRC_OVER</kbd> composition rule composites the source pixel over the destination pixel so that the shared pixel takes the color of the source pixel. For example, if you render a blue rectangle and then render a red rectangle that partially overlaps it, the overlapping area will be red. In other words, the object that is rendered last will appear to be on top.<p>
<a name="64147"><!-- --></a>
To use the SRC_OVER composition rule:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><ol>
<li>
<a name="64148"><!-- --></a>
Create an <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object by calling <kbd>getInstance</kbd> and specifying the <kbd>SRC_OVER</kbd> rule.
</li>

</ol></blockquote>
<pre><blockquote>AlphaComposite ac = 
AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER);
</blockquote></pre><blockquote><ol>
<li>
<a name="64163"><!-- --></a>
Call <kbd>setComposite</kbd> to add the <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object to the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context.
</li>

</ol></blockquote>
<pre><blockquote>g2.setComposite(ac);
</blockquote></pre><blockquote>
<a name="64153"><!-- --></a>
Once the composite object is set, overlapping objects will be rendered using the specified composition rule.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="64058"><!-- --></a>
<i>2.8.2	</i> Increasing the Transparency of Composited Objects
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="64061"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> allows you to specify an additional constant alpha value that is multiplied with the alpha of the source pixels to increase transparency. <p>
<a name="64070"><!-- --></a>
For example, to create an <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object that renders the source object 50% transparent, specify an alpha of .5:<p>
</blockquote><pre><blockquote>AlphaComposite ac = 
AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, .5f);
</blockquote></pre><blockquote>
<a name="67498"><!-- --></a>
In the following example, a source over alpha composite object is created with an alpha of .5 and added to the graphics context, causing subsequent shapes to be rendered 50% transparent. <p>
</blockquote><pre><blockquote>public void paint(Graphics g) {
</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>  Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>
</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>  g2.setColor(Color.red);
</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>  g2.translate(100,50);
</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>  // radians=degree * pie / 180

</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>  g2.fillRect(0,0,100,100);
</blockquote></pre><pre><blockquote>  g2.setTransform(new AffineTransform());  // set to identity

You can create an entirely new type of compositing operation by implementing the <kbd>Composite</kbd> and <kbd>CompositeContext</kbd> interfaces. A <kbd>Composite</kbd> object provides a <kbd>CompositeContext</kbd> object that actually holds the state and performs the compositing work.

<h2><a name="62583"><i>6.2	</i> Color Concepts
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="62586"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>ColorModel</kbd> is used to interpret pixel data in an image. This includes mapping components in the bands of an image to components of a particular color space. It might also involve extracting pixel components from packed pixel data, retrieving multiple components from a single band using masks, and converting pixel data through a lookup table. <p>
<a name="62297"><!-- --></a>
To determine the color value of a particular pixel in an image, you need to know how color information is encoded in each pixel. The <kbd>ColorModel</kbd> associated with an image encapsulates the data and methods necessary for translating a pixel value to and from its constituent color components. <p>
<a name="62298"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API provides two color models in addition to the <kbd>DirectColorModel</kbd> and <kbd>IndexColorModel</kbd> defined in the JDK 1.1 software release: <p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="62299"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>ComponentColorModel</kbd> can handle an arbitrary <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> and an array of color components to match the <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd>. This model can be used to represent most color models on most types of <kbd>GraphicsDevices</kbd>. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="62300"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>PackedColorModel</kbd> is a base class for models that represent pixel values that have their color components embedded directly in the bits of an integer pixel. A <kbd>PackedColorModel</kbd> stores the packing information that describes how color and alpha components are extracted from the channel.The <kbd>DirectColorModel</kbd> in the JDK 1.1 software release is a <kbd>PackedColorModel</kbd>.

<h4><i>6.2.0.1	 ColorSpace
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="62303"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object represents a system for measuring colors, typically using three separate numeric values. For example, RGB and CMYK are color spaces. A <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object serves as a colorspace tag that identifies the specific color space of a <kbd>Color</kbd> object or, through a <kbd>ColorModel</kbd> object, of an <kbd>Image</kbd>, <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd>, or <kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd>. <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> provides methods that transform <kbd>Colors</kbd> in a specific color space to and from <kbd>sRGB</kbd> and to and from a well-defined <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd> color space.<p>
<a name="62304"><!-- --></a>
All <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> objects must be able to map a color from the represented color space into <kbd>sRGB</kbd> and transform an <kbd>sRGB</kbd> color into the represented color space. Since every <kbd>Color</kbd> contains a <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object, set explicitly or by default, every <kbd>Color</kbd> can also be converted to <kbd>sRGB</kbd>. Every <kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd> is associated with a <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object that in turn has an associated <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd>. A color specified in any color space can be displayed by any device by mapping it through <kbd>sRGB</kbd> as an intermediate color space.<p>
<a name="62305"><!-- --></a>
The methods used for this process are <kbd>toRGB</kbd> and <kbd>fromRGB:</kbd><p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="62306"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>toRGB</kbd> transforms a <kbd>Color</kbd> in the represented color space to a <kbd>Color</kbd> in <kbd>sRGB</kbd>. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="62307"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>fromRGB</kbd> takes a <kbd>Color</kbd> in <kbd>sRGB</kbd> and transforms it into the represented color space.
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="62308"><!-- --></a>
Though mapping through <kbd>sRGB</kbd> always works, it's not always the best solution. For one thing, <kbd>sRGB</kbd> cannot represent every color in the full gamut of <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd> colors. If a color is specified in some space that has a different gamut (spectrum of representable colors) than <kbd>sRGB</kbd>, then using <kbd>sRGB</kbd> as an intermediate space results in a loss of information. To address this problem, the <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> class can map colors to and from another color space, the &#34;conversion space&#34; <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd>.<p>
<a name="62309"><!-- --></a>
The methods <kbd>toCIEXYZ</kbd> and <kbd>fromCIEXYZ</kbd> map color values from the represented color space to the conversion space. These methods support conversions between any two color spaces at a reasonably high degree of accuracy, one <kbd>Color</kbd> at a time. However, it is expected that Java 2D API implementations will support high-performance conversion based on underlying platform color-management systems, operating on entire images. (See <kbd>ColorConvertOp</kbd> in <a href="j2d-image.fm.html#65661">&#34;Imaging&#34; on page&#160;67</a>.)<p>

<h4><i>6.2.0.2	 ICC_Profile and ICC_ColorSpace
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="62423"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> is actually an abstract class. The Java 2D API provides one implementation, <kbd>ICC_ColorSpace</kbd>, which is based on ICC Profile data as represented by the <kbd>ICC_Profile</kbd> class. You can define your own subclasses to represent arbitrary color spaces, as long as the methods discussed above are implemented. However, most developers can simply use the default <kbd>sRGB</kbd> <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> or color spaces that are represented by commonly available ICC Profiles, such as profiles for monitors and printers, or profiles embedded in image data.<p>
<a name="62427"><!-- --></a>
<a href="j2d-color.fm2.html#62302">&#34;ColorSpace&#34; on page&#160;90</a> describes how <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> objects represent a color space and how colors in the represented space can be mapped to and from a conversion space. Color management systems are often used to handle the mapping between color spaces. A typical color management system (CMS) manages ICC profiles, which are similar to <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> objects; ICC profiles describe an input space and a connection space, and define how to map between them. Color management systems are very good at figuring out how to map a color tagged with one profile into the color space of another profile.<p>
<a name="62428"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API defines a class called <kbd>ICC_Profile</kbd> that holds data for an arbitrary ICC Profile. <kbd>ICC_ColorSpace</kbd> is an implementation of the abstract <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> class. <kbd>ICC_ColorSpace</kbd> objects can be constructed from <kbd>ICC_Profiles</kbd>. (There are some limitations&#45;&#45;not all ICC Profiles are appropriate for defining an <kbd>ICC_ColorSpace</kbd>). <p>
<a name="62429"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>ICC_Profile</kbd> has several subclasses that correspond to specific color space types, such as <kbd>ICC_ProfileRGB</kbd> and <kbd>ICC_ProfileGray</kbd>. Each subclass of <kbd>ICC_Profile</kbd> has a well-defined input space (such as an RGB space) and a well-defined connection space (like <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd>). The Java 2D API can use a platform's CMS to access color profiles for various devices such as scanners, printers, and monitors. It can also use the CMS to find the best mapping between profiles.<p>

<i>6.2.1	</i> Describing Colors
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="62437"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Color</kbd> class provides a description of a color in a particular color space. An instance of <kbd>Color</kbd> contains the value of the color components and a <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object. Because a <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object can be specified in addition to the color components when a new instance of <kbd>Color</kbd> is created, the <kbd>Color</kbd> class can handle colors in any color space.<p>
<a name="62438"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Color</kbd> class has a number of methods that support a proposed standard RGB color space called <kbd>sRGB</kbd> (see <kbd>http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html</kbd>). <kbd>sRGB</kbd> is the default color space for the Java 2D API. Several constructors defined by the Color class omit the <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> parameter. These constructors assume that the color's RGB values are defined in <kbd>sRGB</kbd>, and use a default instance of <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> to represent that space.<p>
<a name="62439"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API uses <kbd>sRGB</kbd> as a convenience to application programmers, not as a reference color space for color conversion. Many applications are primarily concerned with RGB images and monitors, and defining a standard RGB color space makes writing such applications easier. The <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> class defines the methods <kbd>toRGB</kbd> and <kbd>fromRGB</kbd> so that developers can easily retrieve colors in this standard space. These methods are not intended to be used for highly accurate color correction or conversions. See <a href="j2d-color.fm2.html#62302">&#34;ColorSpace&#34; on page&#160;90</a> for more information.<p>
<a name="62443"><!-- --></a>
To create a color in a color space other than <kbd>sRGB</kbd>, you use the <kbd>Color</kbd> constructor that takes a <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object and an array of floats that represent the color components appropriate to that space. The <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object identifies the color space.<p>
<a name="61780"><!-- --></a>
To display a rectangle of a certain color, such as the process color cyan, you need a way to describe this color to the system. There are a number of different ways to describe a color; for example, a color could be described as a set of red, green, and blue (RGB) components, or a set of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) components. These different techniques for specifying colors are called<em> color spaces</em>. <p>
<a name="61781"><!-- --></a>
As you probably know, colors on a computer screen are generated by blending different amounts of red, green, and blue light. Therefore, using an RGB color space is standard for imaging on computer monitors. Similarly, four-color process printing uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink to produce color on a printed page; the printed colors are specified as percentages in a CMYK color space. <p>
<a name="61782"><!-- --></a>
Due to the prevalence of computer monitors and color printing, RGB and CMYK color spaces are both commonly used to describe colors. However, both types of color spaces have a fundamental drawback&#45;&#45;they are device-dependent. The cyan ink used by one printer might not exactly match the cyan ink used by another. Similarly, a color described as an RGB color might look blue on one monitor and purplish on another. <p>

<h3>
<a name="61783"><!-- --></a>
<i>6.2.2	</i> Mapping Colors through sRGB and CIEXYZ
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="62282"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API refers to RGB and CMYK as color space types. A particular model of monitor with its particular phosphors defines its own RGB color space. Similarly, a particular model of printer has its own CMYK color space. Different RGB or CMYK color spaces can be related to each other through a device-independent color space.<p>
<a name="61784"><!-- --></a>
Standards for the device-independent specification of color have been defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). The most commonly used device-independent color space is the three-component XYZ color space developed by CIE. When you specify a color using <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd>, you are insulated from device dependencies.<p>
<a name="61785"><!-- --></a>
Unfortunately, it&#39;s not always practical to describe colors in the <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd> color space&#45;&#45;there are valid reasons for representing colors in other color spaces. To obtain consistent results when a color is represented using a device-dependent color space such as a particular RGB space, it is necessary to show how that RGB&#160;space relates to a device-independent space like <kbd>CIEXYZ</kbd>.<p>
<a name="61786"><!-- --></a>
One way to map between color spaces is to attach information to the spaces that describes how the device-dependent space relates to the device-independent space. This additional information is called a <em>profile</em>. A commonly used type of color profile is the ICC Color Profile, as defined by the International Color Consortium. For details, see the ICC Profile Format Specification, version 3.4 available at <kbd>http://www.color.org</kbd>.<p>
<a name="61790"><!-- --></a>
<a href="j2d-color.fm2.html#61912">Figure&#160;6-3</a> illustrates how a solid color and a scanned image are passed to the Java 2D API, and how they are displayed by various output devices. As you can see in <a href="j2d-color.fm2.html#61912">Figure&#160;6-3</a>, both the input color and the image have profiles attached.<p>

<h4><i>6.2.2.1	 Color Matching 
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="62270"><!-- --></a>
Once the API has an accurately specified color, it must reproduce that color on an output device, such as a monitor or printer. These devices have imaging characteristics of their own that must be taken into account to make sure that they produce the correct results. Another profile is associated with each output device to describe how the colors need to be transformed to produce accurate results.<p>
<a name="62724"><!-- --></a>
Achieving consistent and accurate color requires that both input colors and output devices be profiled against a standard color space. For example, an input color could be mapped from its original color space into a standard device-independent space, and then mapped from that space to the output device&#39;s color space. In many respects, the transformation of colors mimics the transformation of graphical objects in an (<em>x</em>,&#160;<em>y</em>) coordinate space. In both cases, a transformation is used to specify coordinates in a &#34;standard&#34; space and then map those coordinates to a device-specific space for output.<p>

You can use the Java 2D API transformation and drawing mechanisms with text strings. In addition, the Java 2D API provides text-related classes that support fine-grain font control and sophisticated text layout. These include an enhanced <kbd>Font</kbd> class and the new <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> class.<p>
<a name="72736"><!-- --></a>
This chapter focuses on the new font and text layout capabilities supported through interfaces and classes in<kbd> java.awt</kbd>, and <kbd>java.awt.font</kbd>.
<b>For more information about using these features, see the 2D text Tutorial
that's available through the Java Developer Connection at 
<a href="http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Graphics/2DText/">http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Graphics/2DText/</a>.</b><p>
<a name="74367"><!-- --></a>
For information about text analysis and internationalization, refer to the <kbd>java.text</kbd> documentation and the &#34;Writing Global Programs&#34; track in the Java Tutorial. For information about using the text layout mechanisms implemented in Swing, see the <kbd>java.awt.swing.text</kbd> documentation and &#34;Using the JFC/Swing Packages&#34; in the Java Tutorial.<p>

The <kbd>Font</kbd> class has been enhanced to support the specification of detailed font information and enable the use of sophisticated typographic features.<p>
<a name="61786"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Font</kbd> object represents an instance of a font face from the collection of font faces available on the system. Examples of common font faces include <kbd>Helvetica Bold</kbd> and <kbd>Courier Bold Italic</kbd>.<p>

<ul><li>
<a name="68535"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Font</kbd> object&#39;s<em> logical name</em> is a name mapped onto one of the specific fonts available on the platform. The logical font name is the name used to specify a <kbd>Font</kbd> in JDK 1.1 and earlier releases. When specifying a <kbd>Font </kbd>in JDK 1.2, you should use the <em>font face name</em> instead of the logical name.You can get the logical name from the <kbd>Font</kbd> by calling <kbd>getName</kbd>. To get a list of the logical names that are mapped onto the specific fonts available on a platform, call <kbd>java.awt.Toolkit.getFontList</kbd>. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="68533"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Font</kbd> object&#39;s <em>family name</em> is the name of the font family that determines the typographic design across several faces, such as Helvetica. You retrieve the family name through the <kbd>getFamily</kbd> method. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="68536"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Font</kbd> objects&#39; <em>font face name</em> refers to an actual font installed on the system. This is the name you should use when specifying a font in JDK 1.2. It&#39;s often referred to as just the <em>font name</em>. You can retrieve the font name by calling <kbd>getFontName</kbd>. To determine which font faces are available on the system, you can call <kbd>GraphicsEnvironment.getAllFonts</kbd>.

The information used to lay out text is also necessary for performing text operations such as caret positioning, hit detection, and highlighting.<p>
<a name="74587"><!-- --></a>
To develop software that can be deployed in international markets, text must be laid out in different languages in a way that conforms to the rules of the appropriate writing system.   <p>
</blockquote>

<h3>
<a name="74588"><!-- --></a>
<i>4.3.1	</i> Shaping Text
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="73366"><!-- --></a>
A <em>glyph</em> is the visual representation of one or more characters. The shape, size, and position of a glyph is dependent on its context. Many different glyphs can be used to represent a single character or combination of characters, depending on the font and style.<p>
<a name="73367"><!-- --></a>
For example, in handwritten cursive text, a particular character can take on different shapes depending on how it is connected to adjacent characters.<p>
<a name="73368"><!-- --></a>
In some writing systems, particularly Arabic, the context of a glyph must always be taken into account. Unlike in English, cursive forms are mandatory in Arabic; it is unacceptable to present text without using cursive forms. <p>
<a name="73369"><!-- --></a>
Depending on the context, these cursive forms can differ radically in shape. For example, the Arabic letter <em>heh</em> has the four cursive forms shown in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#73395">Figure&#160;4-2</a>. <p>
<a name="73393"><!-- --></a>
<p><center><img src="j2d-fonts.fm.anc2.gif"></center><p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<a name="73395"><!-- --></a>
<b>Figure 4-2	</b> Cursive Forms in Arabic

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="73396"><!-- --></a>
Although these four forms are quite different from one another, such cursive shape-changing is not fundamentally different from cursive writing in English.<p>
<a name="73449"><!-- --></a>
In some contexts, two glyphs can change shape even more radically and merge to form a single glyph. This type of merged glyph is called a <em>ligature</em>. For example, most English fonts contain the ligature<em> fi</em> shown in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#73408">Figure&#160;4-3</a>. The merged glyph takes into account the overhang on the letter<em> f</em> and combines the characters in a natural-looking way, instead of simply letting the letters collide.<p>
<a name="73406"><!-- --></a>
<p><center><img src="j2d-fonts.fm.anc6.gif"></center><p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<a name="73408"><!-- --></a>
<b>Figure 4-3	</b> English Ligatures

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="73409"><!-- --></a>
Ligatures are also used in Arabic and the use of some ligatures is mandatory&#45;&#45;it is unacceptable to present certain character combinations without using the appropriate ligature. When ligatures are formed from Arabic characters, the shapes change even more radically than they do in English. For example, <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#73421">Figure&#160;4-4</a> illustrates how two Arabic characters are combined into a single ligature when they appear together.<p>

<h3>
<a name="73474"><!-- --></a>
<i>4.3.2	</i> Ordering Text
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="73475"><!-- --></a>
In the Java programming language, text is encoded using Unicode character encoding. Text that uses Unicode character encoding is stored in memory in <em>logical order</em>. Logical order is the order in which characters and words are read and written. The logical order is not necessarily the same as the <em>visual order</em>, the order in which the corresponding glyphs are displayed.<p>
<a name="73476"><!-- --></a>
The visual order for glyphs in a particular writing system (script) is called the <em>script order</em>. For example, the script order for Roman text is left-to-right and the script order for Arabic and Hebrew is right-to-left. <p>
<a name="73477"><!-- --></a>
Some writing systems have rules in addition to script order for arranging glyphs and words on lines of text. For example, Arabic and Hebrew numbers run left to right, even though the letters run right to left. (This means that Arabic and Hebrew, even with no embedded English text, are truly bidirectional.)<p>
<a name="73478"><!-- --></a>
A writing system&#39;s visual order must be maintained even when languages are mixed together. This is illustrated in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#73488">Figure&#160;4-5</a>, which displays an Arabic phrase embedded in an English sentence. <p>
<a name="73482"><!-- --></a>
<strong>Note:</strong> In this and subsequent examples, Arabic and Hebrew text is represented by uppercase letters and spaces are represented by underscores. Each illustration contains two parts: a representation of the characters stored in memory (the characters in logical order) followed by a representation of how those characters are displayed (the characters in visual order). The numbers below the character boxes indicate the insertion offsets.<p>
<a name="73734"><!-- --></a>

</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<a name="73488"><!-- --></a>
<b>Figure 4-5	</b> Bidirectional Text

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="73489"><!-- --></a>
Even though they are part of an English sentence, the Arabic words are displayed in the Arabic script order, right-to-left. Because the italicized Arabic word is logically after the Arabic in plain text, it is visually to the left of the plain text.<p>
<a name="73490"><!-- --></a>
When a line with a mixture of left-to-right and right-to-left text is displayed, the <em>base direction</em> is significant. The base direction is the script order of the predominant writing system. For example, if the text is primarily English with some embedded Arabic, then the base direction is left-to-right. If the text is primarily Arabic with some embedded English or numbers, then the base direction is right-to-left.<p>
<a name="73491"><!-- --></a>
The base direction determines the order in which segments of text with a common direction are displayed. In the example shown in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#73488">Figure&#160;4-5</a>, the base direction is left-to-right. There are three directional runs in this example: the English text at the beginning of the sentence runs left to right, the Arabic text runs right to left, and the period runs left to right. <p>
<a name="73495"><!-- --></a>
Graphics are often embedded in the flow of text. These inline graphics behave like glyphs in terms of how they affect the text flow and line wrapping. Such inline graphics need to be positioned using the same bidirectional layout algorithm so that they appear in the proper location in the flow of characters.<p>
<a name="73496"><!-- --></a>
For more information about the precise algorithm used to order glyphs within a line, see the description of the Bidirectional Algorithm in The Unicode Standard, Version 2.0, Section 3.11.<p>

<a name="63651"><!-- --></a>
<i>4.3.3	</i> Measuring and Positioning Text
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="63656"><!-- --></a>
Unless you are working with a monospace font, different characters in a font have different widths. This means that all positioning and measuring of text has to take into account exactly which characters are used, not just how many. For example, to right-align a column of numbers displayed in a proportional font, you can&#39;t simply use extra spaces to position the text. To properly align the column, you need to know the exact width of each number so that you can adjust accordingly. <p>
<a name="63660"><!-- --></a>
Text is often displayed using multiple fonts and styles, such as bold or italic. In this case, even the same character can have different shapes and widths, depending on how it is styled. To properly position, measure, and render text, you need to keep track of each individual character <em>and</em> the style applied to that character. Fortunately, <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> does this for you. <p>
<a name="63663"><!-- --></a>
To properly display text in languages such as Hebrew and Arabic, each individual character needs to be measured and positioned within the context of neighboring characters. Because the shapes and positions of the characters can change depending on the context, measuring and positioning such text without taking the context into account produces unacceptable results.<p>

<h4><i>4.3.4.1	 Displaying Carets
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="68896"><!-- --></a>
In editable text, a <em>caret</em> is used to graphically represent the current insertion point, the position in the text where new characters will be inserted. Typically, a caret is shown as a blinking vertical bar between two glyphs. New characters are inserted and displayed at the caret's location. <p>
<a name="68897"><!-- --></a>
Calculating the caret position can be complicated, particularly for bidirectional text. Insertion offsets on directional boundaries have two possible caret positions because the two glyphs that correspond to the character offset are not displayed adjacent to one another. This is illustrated in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#68918">Figure&#160;4-6</a>. In this figure, the carets are shown as square brackets to indicate the glyph to which the caret corresponds.<p>

<b>Figure 4-6	</b> Dual Carets

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="68919"><!-- --></a>
Character offset 8 corresponds to the location after the _ and before the <em>A</em>. If the user enters an Arabic character, its glyph is displayed to the right of (before) the <em>A</em>; if the user enters an English character, its glyph is displayed to the right of (after) the _. <p>
<a name="73866"><!-- --></a>
To handle this situation, some systems display dual carets, a strong (primary) caret and a weak (secondary) caret. The strong caret indicates where an inserted character will be displayed when that character's direction is the same as the base direction of the text. The weak caret shows where an inserted character will be displayed when the character's direction is the opposite of the base direction. <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> automatically supports dual carets; <kbd>JTextComponent</kbd> does not.<p>
<a name="68922"><!-- --></a>
When you&#39;re working with bidirectional text, you can&#39;t simply add the widths of the glyphs before a character offset to calculate the caret position. If you did, the caret would be drawn in the wrong place, as shown in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#68932">Figure&#160;4-7</a>. <p>

<b>Figure 4-7	</b> Caret Drawn Incorrectly

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="69215"><!-- --></a>
For the caret to be properly positioned, the widths of the glyphs to the left of the offset need to be added and the current context taken into account. Unless the context is taken into account, the glyph metrics won&#39;t necessarily match the display. (The context can affect which glyphs are used.)<p>

<h4><i>4.3.4.2	 Moving Carets
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="73931"><!-- --></a>
All text editors allow the user to move the caret with the arrow keys. Users expect the caret to move in the direction of the pressed arrow key. In left-to-right text, moving the insertion offset is simple: the right arrow key increases the insertion offset by one and the left arrow key decreases it by one. In bidirectional text or in text with ligatures, this behavior would cause the caret to jump across glyphs at direction boundaries and move in the reverse direction within different directional runs. <p>
<a name="68945"><!-- --></a>
To move the caret smoothly through bidirectional text, you need to take into account the direction of the text runs. You can&#39;t simply increment the insertion offset when the right arrow key is pressed and decrement it when the left arrow key is pressed. If the current insertion offset is within a run of right-to-left characters, the right arrow key should decrease the insertion offset, and the left arrow key should increase it. <p>
<a name="68949"><!-- --></a>
Moving the caret across a directional boundary is even more complicated. <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#68955">Figure&#160;4-8</a> illustrates what happens when a directional boundary is crossed when the user is navigating with the arrow key. Stepping three positions to the right in the displayed text corresponds to moving to the character offsets 7, 19, then 18.<p>

<blockquote><p>
<a name="68955"><!-- --></a>
<b>Figure 4-8	</b> Caret Movement

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="68956"><!-- --></a>
Certain glyphs should never have a caret between them; instead, the caret should move as though the glyphs represented a single character. For example, there should never be a caret between an<em> o</em> and an umlaut if they are represented by two separate characters. (See The Unicode Standard, Version 2.0, Chapter 5, for more information.)<p>
<a name="73936"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>TextLayout </kbd>provides methods<kbd> (getNextRightHit</kbd> and <kbd>getNextLeftHit</kbd>) that enable you to easily move the caret smoothly through bidirectional text. <p>

<a name="68966"><!-- --></a>
<h4><i>4.3.4.3	 Hit Testing
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="69108"><!-- --></a>
Often, a location in device space must be converted to a text offset. For example, when a user clicks the mouse on selectable text, the location of the mouse is converted to a text offset and used as one end of the selection range. Logically, this is the inverse of positioning a caret. <p>
<a name="69116"><!-- --></a>
When you&#39;re working with bidirectional text, a single visual location in the display can correspond to two different offsets in the source text, as shown in <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#68981">Figure&#160;4-9</a>.<p>
<a name="68979"><!-- --></a>

<blockquote><p>
<a name="68981"><!-- --></a>
<b>Figure 4-9	</b> Hit Testing Bidirectional Text

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="69131"><!-- --></a>
Because a single visual location can correspond to two different offsets, hit testing bidirectional text isn&#39;t just a matter of measuring glyph widths until the glyph at the correct location is found and then mapping that position back to a character offset. Detecting the side that the hit was on helps distinguish between the two alternatives. <p>
<a name="73769"><!-- --></a>
You can perform hit testing using <kbd>TextLayout.hitTestChar</kbd>. Hit information is encapsulated in a <kbd>TextHitInfo</kbd> object and includes information about the side that the hit was on. <p>

<h4><i>4.3.4.4	 Highlighting Selections
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="68984"><!-- --></a>
A selected range of characters is represented graphically by a highlight region, an area in which glyphs are displayed with inverse video or against a different background color. <p>
<a name="68991"><!-- --></a>
Highlight regions, like carets, are more complicated for bidirectional text than for monodirectional text. In bidirectional text, a contiguous range of characters might not have a contiguous highlight region when displayed. Conversely, a highlight region showing a visually contiguous range of glyphs might not correspond to a single, contiguous range of characters.<p>
<a name="68992"><!-- --></a>
This results in two strategies for highlighting selections in bidirectional text:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="68993"><!-- --></a>
<em>Logical highlighting</em> &#45;&#45;with logical highlighting, the selected characters are always contiguous in the text model, and the highlight region is allowed to be discontinuous. For an example of logical highlighting, see <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#69006">Figure&#160;4-10</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a name="68997"><!-- --></a>
<em>Visual highlighting</em>&#45;&#45;with visual highlighting, there might be more than one range of selected characters, but the highlight region is always contiguous. For an example of visual highlighting, see <a href="j2d-fonts.fm3.html#69012">Figure&#160;4-11</a>.

<kbd>TextLayout</kbd> maintains caret information such as the caret <kbd>Shape</kbd>, position, and angle.

<kbd>TextLayout </kbd>provides a simple mechanism for hit testing text. The <kbd>hitTestChar</kbd> method takes <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> coordinates from the mouse as arguments and returns a <kbd>TextHitInfo</kbd> object.

<i>4.4.6	</i> Querying Layout Metrics

<a name="63978"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>TextLayout</kbd> provides access to graphical metrics for the entire range of text it represents. Metrics available from <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> include the ascent, descent, leading, advance, visible advance, and the bounding rectangle.<p>
<a name="63985"><!-- --></a>
More than one <kbd>Font</kbd> can be associated with a <kbd>TextLayout</kbd>: different style runs can use different fonts. The ascent and descent values for a <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> are the maximum values of all of the fonts used in the <kbd>TextLayout</kbd>. The computation of the <kbd>TextLayout</kbd>'s leading is more complicated; it&#39;s not just the maximum leading value.<p>
<a name="63988"><!-- --></a>
The advance of a <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> is its length: the distance from the left edge of the leftmost glyph to the right edge of the rightmost glyph. The advance is sometimes referred to as the <em>total advance</em>. The <em>visible advance</em> is the length of the <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> without its trailing whitespace.<p>
<a name="66438"><!-- --></a>
The bounding box of a <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> encloses all of the text in the layout. It includes all the visible glyphs and the caret boundaries. (Some of these might hang over the origin or origin + advance). The bounding box is relative to the origin of the <kbd>TextLayout</kbd>, not to any particular screen position. <p>
<a name="66419"><!-- --></a>

<i>4.4.7	</i> Drawing Text Across Multiple Lines
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="64007"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>TextLayout</kbd> can also be used to display a piece of text that spans multiple lines. For example, you might take a paragraph of text, line-wrap the text to a certain width, and display the paragraph as multiple lines of text. <p>
<a name="66482"><!-- --></a>
To do this, you do not directly create the <kbd>TextLayouts</kbd> that represent each line of text&#45;&#45;<kbd>LineBreakMeasurer</kbd> generates them for you. Bidirectional ordering cannot always be performed correctly unless all of the text in a paragraph is available. <kbd>LineBreakMeasurer</kbd> encapsulates enough information about the context to produce correct <kbd>TextLayouts</kbd>.<p>
<a name="64011"><!-- --></a>
When text is displayed across multiple lines, the length of the lines is usually determined by the width of the display area. Line breaking (line wrapping) is the process of determining where lines begin and end, given a graphical width in which the lines must fit. <p>
<a name="66480"><!-- --></a>
The most common strategy is to place as many words on each line as will fit. This strategy is implemented in <kbd>LineBreakMeasurer</kbd>. Other more complex line break strategies use hyphenation, or attempt to minimize the differences in line length within paragraphs. The Java 2D API does not provide implementations of these strategies.<p>
<a name="64020"><!-- --></a>
To break a paragraph of text into lines, you construct a <kbd>LineBreakMeasurer</kbd> with the entire paragraph and then call <kbd>nextLayout</kbd> to step through the text and generate <kbd>TextLayouts</kbd> for each line. <p>
<a name="64022"><!-- --></a>
To do this,<kbd> LineBreakMeasurer</kbd> maintains an offset within the text. Initially, the offset is at the beginning of the text. Each call to <kbd>nextLayout</kbd> moves the offset by the character count of the <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> that was created. When this offset reaches the end of the text, <kbd>nextLayout</kbd> returns <kbd>null</kbd>.<p>
<a name="66620"><!-- --></a>
The visible advance of each <kbd>TextLayout </kbd>that the<kbd> LineBreakMeasurer </kbd>creates doesn&#39;t exceed the specified line width. By varying the width you specify when you call <kbd>nextLayout</kbd>, you can break text to fit complicated areas, such as an HTML page with images in fixed positions or tab-stop fields.

<h2><a name="66677"><i>4.5	</i> Implementing a Custom Text Layout Mechanism
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="67334"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> class provides a way to display the results of custom layout mechanisms. A <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> object can be thought of as the output of an algorithm that takes a string and computes exactly how the string should be displayed. The system has a built-in algorithm and the Java 2D API lets advanced clients define their own algorithms. <p>
<a name="72890"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> object is basically an array of glyphs and glyph locations. Glyphs are used instead of characters to provide total control over layout characteristics such as kerning and ligatures. For example, when displaying the string &#34;final&#34;, you might want to replace the leading fi substring with the ligature <em>fi.</em> In this case, the <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> object will have fewer glyphs than the number of characters in the original string.   <p>
<a name="72925"><!-- --></a>
<a href="j2d-fonts.fm5.html#67409">Figure&#160;4-13</a> and <a href="j2d-fonts.fm5.html#67469">Figure&#160;4-14</a> illustrate how <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> objects are used by layout mechanisms. <a href="j2d-fonts.fm5.html#67409">Figure&#160;4-13</a> shows the default layout mechanism. When <kbd>drawString</kbd> is called on a <kbd>String</kbd>, the built-in layout algorithm:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="72938"><!-- --></a>
Uses the current <kbd>Font</kbd> in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context to determine which glyphs to use.
</li>
<li>
<a name="72941"><!-- --></a>
Calculates where each glyph should be placed.
</li>
<li>
<a name="72944"><!-- --></a>
Stores the resulting glyph and position information in a <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd>.
</li>
<li>
<a name="72945"><!-- --></a>
Passes the <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> to a glyph rendering routine that does the actual drawing.<p><center><img src="j2d-fonts.fm.anc.gif"></center>
</li>
</ul>

<b>Figure 4-13	</b> Using the Built-in Layout Algorithm

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="67413"><!-- --></a>
<a href="j2d-fonts.fm5.html#67469">Figure&#160;4-14</a> shows the process for using a custom layout algorithm. To use a custom layout algorithm, you must assemble all of the information necessary to lay out the text. The basic process is the same:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="72962"><!-- --></a>
Using the <kbd>Font</kbd>, determine which glyphs to use 
</li>
<li>

Determine where to place the glyphs 
</li>
<li>
<a name="72968"><!-- --></a>
Store this layout information in a <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="72970"><!-- --></a>
To render the text, you pass the <kbd>GlyphVector</kbd> to <kbd>drawString</kbd>, which in turn passes it to the glyph renderer. In <a href="j2d-fonts.fm5.html#67469">Figure&#160;4-14</a>, the custom layout algorithm replaces the fi substring with the ligature <em>fi</em>. <p><center><img src="j2d-fonts.fm.anc1.gif"></center><p>

<h2><a name="74065"><i>4.6	</i> Creating Font Derivations
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="74066"><!-- --></a>
Using the <kbd>Font.deriveFont</kbd> methods, you can create a new <kbd>Font</kbd> object with different attributes from an existing <kbd>Font</kbd> object. Often, a transform is applied to the existing <kbd>Font</kbd> to create a new derived <kbd>Font</kbd>. To do this, you:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><ol>
<li>
<a name="74067"><!-- --></a>
Create a <kbd>Font</kbd> object., 
</li>

<li>
<a name="74068"><!-- --></a>
Create the <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> you want to apply to the <kbd>Font</kbd>. 
</li>

<li>
<a name="74069"><!-- --></a>
Call <kbd>Font.deriveFont</kbd>, passing in the <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd>.
</li>

</ol></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="74070"><!-- --></a>
In this way, you could easily create a <kbd>Font</kbd> in a custom size or a skewed version of an existing <kbd>Font</kbd>.<p>
<a name="74071"><!-- --></a>
In the following code excerpt, an <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> is applied to create a skewed version of the font Helvetica. The new derived font is then used to render a string.<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><pre>
// Create a transformation for the font.
AffineTransform fontAT = new AffineTransform();
fontAT.setToShear(-1.2, 0.0);
// Create a Font Object.
Font theFont = new Font("Helvetica", Font.PLAIN, 1);
// Derive a new font using the shear transform
theDerivedFont = theFont.deriveFont(fontAT);
// Add the derived font to the Graphics2D context
g2.setFont(theDerivedFont);
// Render a string using the derived font
g2.drawString(&#34;Java&#34;, 0.0f, 0.0f);

<a name="63720"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Shape</kbd> is an instance of any class that implements the <kbd>Shape</kbd> interface, such as <kbd>GeneralPath</kbd> or <kbd>Rectangle2D.Float</kbd>. A <kbd>Shape</kbd>&#39;s contour (outline) is referred to as its <em>path</em>. <p>
<a name="63732"><!-- --></a>
When a <kbd>Shape</kbd> is drawn, the pen style defined by the <kbd>Stroke</kbd> object in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context is applied to the <kbd>Shape</kbd>&#39;s path. When a <kbd>Shape</kbd> is filled, the <kbd>Paint</kbd> in the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context is applied to the area within its path. For more information, see <a href="j2d-awt.fm.html#70028">&#34;Rendering with Graphics2D&#34; on page&#160;15</a>.<p>
<a name="62875"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Shape</kbd>&#39;s path can be also used to define a <em>clipping path</em>. A clipping path determines what pixels are rendered&#45;&#45;only those pixels that lie within the area defined by the clipping path are rendered. The clipping path is part of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. For more information, see <a href="j2d-awt.fm3.html#70241">&#34;Setting the Clipping Path&#34; on page&#160;32</a>.<p>
<a name="63725"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>GeneralPath</kbd> is a shape that can be used to represent any two-dimensional object that can be constructed from lines and quadratic or cubic curves. For convenience,<kbd> java.awt.geom</kbd> provides additional implementations of the <kbd>Shape</kbd> interface that represent common geometric objects such as rectangles, ellipses, arcs, and curves. The Java2D API also provides a special type of shape that supports constructive area geometry. <p>

<i>3.2.1	</i> Constructive Area Geometry
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="63799"><!-- --></a>
Constructive Area Geometry (CAG) is the process of creating new geometric objects by performing boolean operations on existing objects. In the Java 2D API, a special type of <kbd>Shape</kbd> called an <kbd>Area</kbd> supports boolean operations. You can construct an <kbd>Area</kbd> from any <kbd>Shape</kbd>. <p>
<a name="63800"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Areas</kbd> support the following Boolean operations:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>

Union

<i>3.2.2	</i> Bounds and Hit Testing
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="63263"><!-- --></a>
A <em>bounding box</em> is a rectangle that fully encloses a shape&#39;s geometry. Bounding boxes are used to determine whether or not an object has been selected or &#34;hit&#34; by the user. <p>
<a name="63285"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Shape</kbd> interface defines two methods for retrieving a shape&#39;s bounding box, <kbd>getBounds</kbd> and <kbd>getBounds2D</kbd>. The <kbd>getBounds2D</kbd> method returns a <kbd>Rectangle2D</kbd> instead of a <kbd>Rectangle</kbd>, providing a higher-precision description of the shape&#39;s bounding box.<p>
<a name="63280"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Shape</kbd> also provides methods for determining whether or not:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="63312"><!-- --></a>
A specified point lies within the bounds of the shape (<kbd>contains</kbd>)
</li>
<li>
<a name="63313"><!-- --></a>
A specified rectangle lies totally within the bounds of the shape (<kbd>contains</kbd>)
</li>
<li>
<a name="63314"><!-- --></a>
A specified rectangle intersects the shape (<kbd>intersects</kbd>)

This chapter focuses on the objects and techniques of the immediate mode imaging model.

<h2><a name="64209"><i>5.2	</i> Immediate Mode Imaging Concepts
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="65688"><!-- --></a>
The immediate mode imaging model supports fixed-resolution images stored in memory. The model also supports filtering operations on image data. A number of classes and interfaces are used in this model.<p>

<b>Figure 5-1	</b> <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> and supporting classes

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="69065"><!-- --></a>
As shown in <a href="j2d-image.fm2.html#65690">Figure&#160;5-1</a>, <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> provides general image management. A <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> can be created directly in memory and used to hold and manipulate image data retrieved from a file or URL. A <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> can be displayed using any <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> object for a screen device, or rendered to any other destination using appropriate <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. A <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> object contains two other objects: a <kbd>Raster</kbd> and a <kbd>ColorModel</kbd>. <p>
<a name="65692"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Raster</kbd> class provides image data management. It represents the rectangular coordinates of the image, maintains image data in memory, and provides a mechanism for creating multiple subimages from a single image data buffer. It also provides methods for accessing specific pixels within an image. A Raster object contains two other objects, a <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> and a <kbd>SampleModel</kbd>.   <p>
<a name="65694"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> class holds pixel data in memory. <p>
<a name="65696"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>SampleModel</kbd> class interprets data in the buffer and provides it as individual pixels or rectangular ranges of pixels. <p>
<a name="65698"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>ColorModel</kbd> class provides a color interpretation of pixel data provided by the image&#39;s sample model. <p>
<a name="67352"><!-- --></a>
The image package provides additional classes that define filtering operations on <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> and <kbd>Raster</kbd> objects. Each image processing operation is embodied in a class that implements the <kbd>BufferedImageOp</kbd> interface, the <kbd>RasterOp</kbd> interface, or both interfaces. The operation class defines <kbd>filter</kbd> methods that performs the actual image manipulation. <p>
<a name="67356"><!-- --></a>

<a name="65725"><!-- --></a>
<i>5.2.1	</i> Terminology
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="65727"><!-- --></a>
Here are some terms used throughout the following discussions: <p>
<a name="65758"><!-- --></a>
Data Elements: primitive types used as units of storage of image data. Data elements are individual members of a <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> array.   The layout of elements in the data buffer is independent of the interpretation of the data as pixels by an image&#39;s <kbd>SampleModel</kbd>.<p>
<a name="65729"><!-- --></a>
Samples: distinct members of the pixels of an image. A <kbd>SampleModel</kbd> provides a mechanism for converting elements in the <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> to pixels and their samples.   The samples of a pixel may represent primary values in a particular color model. For example, a pixel in an RGB color model consists of three samples: red, green, and blue. <p>
<a name="69136"><!-- --></a>
Components: values of pixels independent of color interpretation. The distinction between component and sample is useful with <kbd>IndexColorModel</kbd>, where pixel components are indexes into the <kbd>LookupTable</kbd>.<p>
<a name="65731"><!-- --></a>
Band: the set of all samples of one type in an image, such as all red samples or all green samples. Pixel data can be stored in a number of ways, the two supported in the Java 2D API being banded and pixel interleaved. Banded storage organizes image data by bands, and a pixel is made up of sample data from the same position in each band. Pixel interleaved storage organizes image data by pixels, with a single array containing all pixels, and bands consisting of the set of samples at the same index position in each pixel.<p>
<a name="65733"><!-- --></a>
Primaries: distinct members of a color value in a specific color model; for example the RGB model forms color values from the primaries red, green, and blue. <p>

The <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> class is the main class supporting the immediate imaging mode. It manages an image in memory, providing ways to store pixel data, interpret pixel data, and to render the pixel data to a <kbd>Graphics</kbd> or <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context. <p>

To create a <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd>, call the <kbd>Component.createImage</kbd> method; this returns a <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> whose drawing characteristics match those of the component used to create it&#45;&#45;the created image is opaque, has the foreground and background colors of the <kbd>Component</kbd>, and you can&#39;t adjust the transparency of the image. You could use this technique when you want to do double buffered drawing for animation in a component; the discussion <a href="j2d-image.fm3.html#67210">&#34;Drawing in an Offscreen Buffer&#34; on page&#160;78</a> gives more details. <p>

<a name="66525"><!-- --></a>
<i>5.3.2	</i> Drawing in an Offscreen Buffer
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="67511"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> class can be used to prepare graphic elements offscreen then copy them to the screen. This technique is especially useful when a graphic is complex or used repeatedly. For example, if you want to display a complicated shape several times, you could draw it once into an offscreen buffer and then copy it to different locations in the window. By drawing the shape once and copying it, you can display the graphics more quickly. <p>
<a name="67512"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>java.awt</kbd> package facilitates the use of offscreen buffers by letting you draw to an <kbd>Image</kbd> object the same way that you draw to a window. All of the Java 2D API rendering features can be used when drawing to offscreen images. <p>
<a name="67516"><!-- --></a>
Offscreen buffers are often used for animation. For example, you could use an offscreen buffer to draw an object once and then move it around in a window. Similarly, you could use an offscreen buffer to provide feedback as a user moves a graphic using the mouse. Instead of redrawing the graphic at every mouse location, you could draw the graphic once to an offscreen buffer, and then copy it to the mouse location as the user drags the mouse.<a href="#67519"><sup>1</sup></a><p>

<a href="j2d-image.fm3.html#67525">Figure&#160;5-3</a> demonstrates how a program can draw to an offscreen image and then copy that image into a window multiple times. The last time the image is copied, it is transformed. Note that transforming the image instead of redrawing it with the transformation might produce unsatisfactory results.<p>

<a name="67530"><!-- --></a>
<h4><i>5.3.2.1	 Creating an Offscreen Buffer
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="67531"><!-- --></a>
The simplest way to create an image that you can use as an offscreen buffer is to use the <kbd>Component</kbd>.<kbd>createImage</kbd> method.<p>
<a name="67532"><!-- --></a>
By creating an image whose color space, depth, and pixel layout exactly match the window into which you are drawing, the image can be efficiently blitted to a graphics device. This allows <kbd>drawImage</kbd> to do its job quickly.<p>
<a name="67533"><!-- --></a>
You can also construct a<kbd> BufferedImage </kbd>object directly to use as an offscreen buffer. This is useful when you need control over the offscreen image&#39;s type or transparency. <p>

<blockquote>
<a name="69324"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> object can contain an alpha channel. In <a href="j2d-image.fm3.html#67525">Figure&#160;5-3</a>, an alpha channel is used to distinguish painted and unpainted areas, allowing an irregular shape to appear over graphics that have already been painted (in this case, a shaded rectangle). In other cases, you might use alpha channel to blend the colors of the new image into those in the existing image. <p>
<a name="69325"><!-- --></a>
Note: unless you need alpha image data for transparency, as with the irregularly shaped images shown in Figure 5-2, you should avoid creating an off-screen buffer with alpha. Using alpha where it&#39;s unnecessary slows rendering performance. <p>
<a name="67543"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd> provides convenience methods that automatically create buffered images in a format compatible with your configuration. You can also query the graphics configuration associated with the graphics device on which the window resides to get the information you need to construct a compatible <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> object. <p>

<h4><i>5.3.2.2	 Drawing in an Offscreen Buffer

<blockquote>
<a name="66527"><!-- --></a>
To draw in a buffered image, you call its <kbd>BufferedImage.createGraphics</kbd> method, which returns a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> object. With this object, you can call all of the <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> methods to draw graphics primitives, place text, and render other images in the image.

<blockquote>
<a name="66676"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> object uses a <kbd>Raster</kbd> to manage its rectangular array of pixel data. The <kbd>Raster</kbd> class defines fields for the image&#39;s coordinate system&#45;&#45;width, height, and origin. A <kbd>Raster</kbd> object itself uses two objects to manage the pixel data, a <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> and a <kbd>SampleModel</kbd>. The <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> is the object that stores pixel data for the raster (as described on <a href="j2d-image.fm5.html#69487">page&#160;81</a>), and the <kbd>SampleModel</kbd> provides the interpretation of pixel data from the <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> (as described on <a href="j2d-image.fm6.html#66873">page&#160;81</a>). <p>

<a name="67258"><!-- --></a>
<i>5.4.1	</i> Creating a Raster

<blockquote>
<a name="67259"><!-- --></a>
In most cases, you don&#39;t need to create a <kbd>Raster</kbd> directly, since one is supplied with any <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> that you create in memory. However, one of the <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> constructor methods allows you to create a <kbd>Raster</kbd> by passing in a <kbd>WritableRaster</kbd>. <p>
<a name="67264"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Raster</kbd> class provides a number of static factory methods for creating <kbd>Rasters</kbd> with the <kbd>DataBuffers</kbd> and <kbd>SampleModels</kbd> you specify. You can use these factories when implementing <kbd>RasterOp</kbd> filtering classes.<p>

<a name="66680"><!-- --></a>
<i>5.4.2	</i> Parent and Child Rasters

<blockquote>
<a name="66682"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Raster</kbd> class incorporates the concept of parent and child rasters. This can improve storage efficiency by allowing you to construct any number of buffered images from the same parent. The parent and its children all refer to the same data buffer, and each child has a specific offset and bounds to identify its image location in the buffer. A child identifies its ownership through its <kbd>getParent</kbd> method. <p>
<a name="67257"><!-- --></a>
To create a subraster, you use the <kbd>Raster</kbd>.<kbd>createSubRaster</kbd> method.When you create a subraster, you identify the area of its parent that it covers and its offset from the parent&#39;s origin. <p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="66687"><!-- --></a>
<i>5.4.3	</i> Operations on a Raster

<blockquote>
<a name="66698"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Raster</kbd> class defines a number of ways to access pixels and pixel data. These are useful when you&#39;re implementing the <kbd>RasterOp</kbd> interface, which provides raster-level filtering and manipulation of image data, or when implementing any method that needs to perform low-level pixel manipulation.<p>
<a name="66703"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>Raster.getPixel</kbd> methods let you get an individual pixel, which is returned as individual samples in an array. The <kbd>Raster</kbd>.<kbd>getDataElements</kbd> methods return a specified run of uninterpreted image data from the <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd>. The <kbd>Raster</kbd>.<kbd>getSample</kbd> method returns samples of an individual pixel. The <kbd>getSamples</kbd> method returns a band for a particular region of an image.<p>
<a name="69483"><!-- --></a>
In addition to these methods, you can also access the data buffer and the sample model through instance variables of the <kbd>Raster</kbd> class. These objects provide additional ways to access and interpret the <kbd>Raster</kbd>&#39;s pixel data. <p>

<blockquote>
<a name="66743"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> belonging to a <kbd>Raster</kbd> represents an array of image data. When you create a <kbd>Raster</kbd> directly or through the <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd> constructors, you specify a width and height in pixels, along with a <kbd>SampleModel</kbd> for the image data. This information is used to create a <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> of the appropriate data type and size. <p>
<a name="66745"><!-- --></a>
There are three subclasses of <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd>, each representing a different type of data element: <p>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="66749"><!-- --></a>
As defined earlier, elements are the discrete members of the array of the data buffer, and components or samples are the discrete values that together make up a pixel. There can be various mappings between a particular type of element in a <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> and a particular type of pixel represented by a <kbd>SampleModel</kbd>. It is the responsibility of the various <kbd>SampleModel</kbd> subclasses to implement that mapping and provide a way to get specific pixels from a specific <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd>. <p>
<a name="66755"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> constructors provide ways to create buffers of a specific size and a specific number of banks. <p>
<a name="66772"><!-- --></a>
While you can access image data in a <kbd>DataBuffer</kbd> directly, it&#39;s generally easier and more convenient to do so through the methods of the <kbd>Raster</kbd> and <kbd>WritableRaster</kbd> classes. <p>

<i>5.8.1	</i> Using an Image Processing Operation
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="72236"><!-- --></a>
Convolution is the process that underlies most spatial filtering algorithms. Convolution is the process of weighting or averaging the value of each pixel in an image with the values of neighboring pixels.This allows each output pixel to be affected by the immediate neighborhood in a way that can be mathematically specified with a kernel. <a href="j2d-image.fm8.html#72247">Figure&#160;5-7</a> illustrates Convolution.<p>

<b>Figure 5-7	</b> Blurring with Convolution

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="72257"><!-- --></a>
The following code fragment illustrates how to use one of the image processing classes, <kbd>ConvolveOp</kbd>. In this example, each pixel in the source image is averaged equally with the eight pixels that surround it.<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><pre>
float weight = 1.0f/9.0f;
float[] elements = new float[9]; // create 2D array

// fill the array with nine equal elements
for (i = 0; i &lt; 9; i++) {
	elements[i] = weight;}
	
// use the array of elements as argument to create a Kernel
private Kernel myKernel = new Kernel(3, 3, elements);
public ConvolveOp simpleBlur = new ConvolveOp(myKernel);

// sourceImage and destImage are instances of BufferedImage
simpleBlur.filter(sourceImage,&#160;destImage) // blur the image</pre></blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="61906"><!-- --></a>
The variable simpleBlur contains a new instance of <kbd>ConvolveOp</kbd> that implements a blur operation on a <kbd>BufferedImage </kbd>or a <kbd>Raster</kbd>. Suppose that sourceImage and destImage are two instances of <kbd>BufferedImage</kbd>. When you call <kbd>filter</kbd>, the core method of the <kbd>ConvolveOp</kbd> class, it sets the value of each pixel in the destination image by averaging the corresponding pixel in the source image with the eight pixels that surround it.<p>
<a name="69780"><!-- --></a>
The convolution kernel in this example could be represented by the following matrix, with elements specified to four significant figures:<p><center><img src="j2d-image.fm.anc3.gif"></center><p>
<a name="72275"><!-- --></a>
When an image is convolved, the value of each pixel in the destination image is calculated by using the kernel as a set of weights to average the pixel&#39;s value with the values of surrounding pixels. This operation is performed on each channel of the image. <p>
<a name="61912"><!-- --></a>
The following formula shows how the weights in the kernel are associated with the pixels in the source image when the convolution is performed. Each value in the kernel is tied to a spatial position in the image. <p><center><img src="j2d-image.fm.anc4.gif"></center><p>
<a name="61916"><!-- --></a>
The value of a destination pixel is the sum of the products of the weights in the kernel multiplied by the value of the corresponding source pixel. For many simple operations, the kernel is a matrix that is square and symmetric, and the sum of its weights adds up to one.<a href="#61919"><sup>1</sup></a><p>
<a name="61920"><!-- --></a>
The convolution kernel in this example is relatively simple. It weights each pixel from the source image equally. By choosing a kernel that weights the source image at a higher or lower level, a program can increase or decrease the intensity of the destination image. The <kbd>Kernel</kbd> object, which is set in the <kbd>ConvolveOp</kbd> constructor, determines the type of filtering that is performed. By setting other values, you can perform other types of convolutions, including blurring (such as Gaussian blur, radial blur, and motion blur), sharpening, and smoothing operations. <a href="j2d-image.fm8.html#72165">Figure&#160;5-8</a> illustrates sharpening using Convolution.<p>

<h2><a name="61793"><i>1.1	</i> Enhanced Graphics, Text, and Imaging
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="62206"><!-- --></a>
Early versions of the AWT provided a simple rendering package suitable for rendering common HTML pages, but not full-featured enough for complex graphics, text, or imaging. As a simplified rendering package, the early AWT embodied specific cases of more general rendering concepts. The Java 2D API provides a more flexible, full-featured rendering package by expanding the AWT to support more general graphics and rendering operations.<p>
<a name="62878"><!-- --></a>
For example, through the <kbd>Graphics</kbd> class you can draw rectangles, ovals, and polygons. <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> enhances the concept of geometric rendering by providing a mechanism for rendering virtually any geometric shape. Similarly, with the Java 2D API you can draw styled lines of any width and fill geometric shapes with virtually any texture. <p>
<a name="62964"><!-- --></a>
Geometric shapes are provided through implementations of the <kbd>Shape</kbd> interface, for example <kbd>Rectangle2D</kbd> and <kbd>Ellipse2D</kbd>. Curves and arcs are also specific implementations of <kbd>Shape</kbd>.<p>
<a name="62938"><!-- --></a>
Fill and pen styles are provided through implementations of the <kbd>Paint</kbd> and <kbd>Stroke</kbd> interfaces, for example <kbd>BasicStroke</kbd>, <kbd>GradientPaint</kbd>, <kbd>TexturePaint</kbd>, and <kbd>Color</kbd>. <p>
<a name="62939"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> defines linear transformations of 2D coordinates, including scale, translate, rotate, and shear.<p>
<a name="62940"><!-- --></a>
Clip regions are defined by the same implementations of the <kbd>Shape</kbd> interface that are used to define general clipping regions, for example <kbd>Rectangle2D</kbd> and <kbd>GeneralPath</kbd>. <p>
<a name="62960"><!-- --></a>
Color composition is provided by implementations of the <kbd>Composite</kbd> interface, for example <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd>. <p>
<a name="62961"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Font</kbd> is defined by collections of <kbd>Glyphs</kbd>, which are in turn defined by individual <kbd>Shapes</kbd>. <p>

<h2><a name="61830"><i>1.2	</i> Rendering Model
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="65374"><!-- --></a>
The basic graphics rendering model has not changed with the addition of the Java 2D APIs. To render a graphic, you set up the graphics context and invoke a rendering method on the <kbd>Graphics </kbd>object. <p>
<a name="65379"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API class <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> extends <kbd>Graphics</kbd> to support more graphics attributes and provide new rendering methods. Setting up a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> context is described in <a href="j2d-awt.fm.html#70028">&#34;Rendering with Graphics2D&#34; on page&#160;15</a>.<p>
<a name="61854"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API automatically compensates for differences in rendering devices and provides a uniform rendering model across different types of devices. At the application level, the rendering process is the same whether the target rendering device is a display or a printer.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="61857"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.2.1	</i> Coordinate Systems
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="61859"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API maintains two coordinate systems: <p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="65480"><!-- --></a>
 <em>User space</em> is a device-independent, logical coordinate system. Applications use this coordinate system exclusively; all geometries passed into Java 2D rendering routines are specified in user space. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="63132"><!-- --></a>
<em>Device spac</em>e is a device-dependent coordinate system that varies according to the target rendering device. 
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="66049"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D system automatically performs the necessary conversions between user space and the device space of the target rendering device. Although the coordinate system for a monitor is very different from the coordinate system for a printer, these differences are invisible to applications.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<a name="65471"><!-- --></a>
<h4><i>1.2.1.1	 User Space 
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="63158"><!-- --></a>
As shown in <a href="j2d-intro.fm2.html#61866">Figure&#160;1-1</a>, the user space origin is located in the upper-left corner of the space, with <em>x</em> values increasing to the right and <em>y</em> values increasing downward.<p><center><img src="j2d-intro.fm.anc.gif"></center><p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>
<a name="61866"><!-- --></a>
<b>Figure 1-1	</b> User Space Coordinate System

</p>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="63182"><!-- --></a>
User space represents a uniform abstraction of all possible device coordinate systems. The device space for a particular device might have the same origin and direction as user space, or it might be different. Regardless, user space coordinates are automatically transformed into the appropriate device space when a graphic object is rendered. Often, the underlying platform device drivers are used to perform this conversion. <p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<a name="63193"><!-- --></a>
<h4><i>1.2.1.2	 Device Space
</i></h4>

<blockquote>
<a name="61870"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API defines three levels of configuration information that are maintained to support the conversion from user space to device space. This information is encapsulated by three classes:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="61872"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>GraphicsEnviron</kbd>ment
</li>
<li>
<a name="61873"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>GraphicsDevice</kbd>
</li>
<li>
<a name="61874"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="61876"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>GraphicsEnvironment</kbd> describes the collection of rendering devices visible to a Java application on a particular platform. Rendering devices include screens, printers, and image buffers. The <kbd>GraphicsEnvironment</kbd> also includes a list of all of the available fonts on the platform. <p>
<a name="63198"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>GraphicsDevice</kbd> describes an application-visible rendering device, such as a screen or printer. Each possible configuration of the device is represented by a <kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd>. For example, an SVGA display device can operate in several modes: 640x480x16 colors, 640x480x256 colors, and 800x600x256 colors. The SVGA screen is represented by a <kbd>GraphicsDevice </kbd>object and each of the modes is represented by a <kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd> object.<p>
<a name="63248"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>GraphicsEnvironment</kbd> can contain one or more <kbd>GraphicsDevices</kbd>; in turn, each <kbd>GraphicsDevice</kbd> can have one or more <kbd>GraphicsConfigurations</kbd>.<p>
<a name="63244"><!-- --></a>
Between them, the <kbd>GraphicsEnvironment</kbd>, <kbd>GraphicsDevice</kbd>, and <kbd>GraphicsConfiguration</kbd> represent all of the information necessary for locating a rendering device or font on the Java platform and for converting coordinates from user space to device space. An application can access this information, but does not need to perform any transformations between user space and device space.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="61888"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.2.2	</i> Transforms
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="63314"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API has a unified coordinate transformation model. All coordinate transformations, including transformations from user to device space, are represented by <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> objects. <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> defines the rules for manipulating coordinates using matrices. <p>
<a name="63322"><!-- --></a>
You can add an <kbd>AffineTransform</kbd> to the graphics context to rotate, scale, translate, or shear a geometric shape, text, or image when it is rendered. The added transform is applied to any graphic object rendered in that context. The transform is performed when user space coordinates are converted to device space coordinates.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="61894"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.2.3	</i> Fonts
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="65521"><!-- --></a>
A string is commonly thought of in terms of the characters that comprise the string. When a string is drawn, its appearance is determined by the font that is selected. However, the shapes that the font uses to display the string don&#39;t always correspond to individual characters. For example, in professional publishing, certain combinations of two or more characters are often replaced by a single shape called a <em>ligature</em>.<p>
<a name="65522"><!-- --></a>
The shapes that a font uses to represent the characters in the string are called <em>glyphs</em>. A font might represent a character such as a lowercase <em>a</em> acute using multiple glyphs, or represent certain character combinations such as the <em>fi</em> in final with a single glyph. In the Java 2D API, a glyph is simply a <kbd>Shape</kbd> that can be manipulated and rendered in the same way as any other <kbd>Shape</kbd>. <p>
<a name="65523"><!-- --></a>
A <em>font</em> can be thought of as a collection of glyphs. A single font might have many versions, such as heavy, medium, oblique, gothic, and regular. These different versions are called <em>faces</em>. All of the faces in a font have a similar typographic design and can be recognized as members of the same <em>family</em>. In other words, a collection of glyphs with a particular style forms a font face, a collection of font faces forms a font family, and a collection of font families forms the set of fonts available within a particular <kbd>GraphicsEnvironment</kbd>. <p>
<a name="61900"><!-- --></a>
In the Java 2D API, fonts are specified by a name that describes a particular font face&#45;&#45;for example, Helvetica Bold. This is different from the JDK 1.1 software, in which fonts are described by logical names that map onto different font faces depending on which font faces are available on a particular platform. For backward compatibility, the Java 2D API supports the specification of fonts by logical name as well as by font face name. <p>
<a name="61904"><!-- --></a>
Using the Java 2D API, you can compose and render strings that contain multiple fonts of different families, faces, sizes, and even languages. The appearance of the text is kept logically separate from the layout of the text. <kbd>Font</kbd> objects are used to describe the appearance, and the layout information is stored in <kbd>TextLayout</kbd> and <kbd>TextAttributeSet</kbd> objects. Keeping the font and layout information separate makes it easier to use the same fonts in different layout configurations.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="61906"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.2.4	</i> Images
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="61908"><!-- --></a>
Images are collections of pixels organized spatially. A <em>pixel</em> defines the appearance of an image at a single display location. A two-dimensional array of pixels is called a <em>raster</em>. <p>
<a name="65775"><!-- --></a>
The pixel&#39;s appearance can be defined directly or as an index into a color table for the image. <p>
<a name="65776"><!-- --></a>
In images that contain many colors (more than 256), the pixels usually directly represent the color, alpha, and other display characteristics for each screen location. Such images tend to be much larger than indexed-color images, but they look more realistic. <p>
<a name="61918"><!-- --></a>
In an indexed-color image, the colors in the image are limited to the colors specified in the color table, often resulting in fewer colors that can be used in the image. However, an index typically requires less storage space than a color value, so images stored as a set of indexed colors are usually smaller. This pixel format is popular for images that contain only 16 or 256 colors.<p>
<a name="61929"><!-- --></a>
Images in the Java 2D API have two primary components: <p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="63396"><!-- --></a>
The raw image data (the pixels)
</li>
<li>
<a name="65780"><!-- --></a>
The information necessary for interpreting the pixels
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="65789"><!-- --></a>
The rules for interpreting the pixel are encapsulated by a <kbd>ColorModel</kbd> object&#45;&#45;for example, whether the values should be interpreted as direct or indexed colors. For a pixel to be displayed, it must be paired with a color model. <p>
<a name="65813"><!-- --></a>
A band is one component of the color space for an image. For example, the Red, Green, and Blue components are the bands in an RGB image. A pixel in a direct color model image can be thought of as a collection of band values for a single screen location. <p>
<a name="65816"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>java.awt.image</kbd> package contains several <kbd>ColorModel</kbd> implementations, including those for packed and component pixel representations. <p>
<a name="65790"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> object encapsulates the rules that govern how a set of numeric measurements corresponds to a particular color. The <kbd>ColorSpace</kbd> implementations in the <kbd>java.awt.color</kbd> represent the most popular color spaces, including RGB and gray scale. Note that a color space is not a collection of colors&#45;&#45;it defines the rules for how to interpret individual color values.<p>
<a name="61933"><!-- --></a>
Separating the color space from the color model provides greater flexibility in how colors are represented and converted from one color representation to another.<p>

<h3>
<a name="61939"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.2.5	</i> Fills and Strokes
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="65822"><!-- --></a>
With the Java 2D API, you can render <kbd>Shapes</kbd> using different pen styles and fill patterns. Because text is ultimately represented by a set of glyphs, text strings can also be stroked and filled. <p>
<a name="65866"><!-- --></a>
Pen styles are defined by objects that implement the <kbd>Stroke</kbd> interface. Strokes enable you to specify different widths and dashing patterns for lines and curves.<p>
<a name="61943"><!-- --></a>
Fill patterns are defined by objects that implement the <kbd>Paint</kbd> interface. The <kbd>Color</kbd> class, which was available in earlier versions of the AWT, is a simple type of <kbd>Paint</kbd> object used to define solid-color fills. The Java 2D API provides two additional <kbd>Paint</kbd> implementations, <kbd>TexturePaint</kbd> and <kbd>GradientPaint</kbd>. <kbd>TexturePaint</kbd> defines a fill pattern using a simple image fragment that is repeated uniformly. <kbd>GradientPaint</kbd> defines a fill pattern as a gradient between two colors.<p>
<a name="65867"><!-- --></a>
In Java 2D, rendering a shape&#39;s outline and filling the shape with a pattern are two separate operations:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="65874"><!-- --></a>
Using one of the <kbd>draw</kbd> methods renders the shape&#39;s contour or outline using the pen style specified by the <kbd>Stroke</kbd> attribute and the fill pattern specified by the <kbd>Paint</kbd> attribute.
</li>
<li>
<a name="65871"><!-- --></a>
Using the <kbd>fill</kbd> method fills the interior of the shape with the pattern specified by the <kbd>Paint</kbd> attribute.
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="61947"><!-- --></a>
When a text string is rendered, the current <kbd>Paint</kbd> attribute is applied to the glyphs that form the string. Note, however, that <kbd>drawString</kbd> actually fills the glyphs that are rendered. To stroke the outlines of the glyphs in a text string, you need to get the outlines and render them as shapes using the <kbd>draw</kbd> method.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="63573"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.2.6	</i> Composites
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="61958"><!-- --></a>
When you render an object that overlaps an existing object, you need to determine how to combine the colors of the new object with the colors that already occupy the area where you are going to draw. The Java 2D API encapsulates rules for how to combine colors in a <kbd>Composite</kbd> object. <p>
<a name="63588"><!-- --></a>
Primitive rendering systems provide only basic Boolean operators for combining colors. For example, a Boolean compositing rule might allow the source and destination color values to be ANDed, ORed, or XORed. There are several problems with this approach<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="63619"><!-- --></a>
It&#39;s not &#34;human friendly&#34;&#45;&#45;it&#39;s difficult to think in terms of what the resulting color will be if red and blue are ANDed, not added. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="63622"><!-- --></a>
Boolean composition does not support the accurate composition of colors in different color spaces. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="63628"><!-- --></a>
Straight Boolean composition doesn&#39;t take into account the color models of the colors. For example, in an indexed color model, the result of a Boolean operation on two pixel values in an image is the composite of two indices, not two colors.
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="61960"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API avoids these pitfalls by implementing alpha-blending<a href="#66182"><sup>1</sup></a> rules that take color model information into account when compositing colors.   An <kbd>AlphaComposite</kbd> object includes the color model of both the source and destination colors.<p>

<h2><a name="61978"><i>1.3	</i> 	Backward Compatibility and Platform Independence
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="61980"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API maintains backward compatibility with JDK 1.1 software.   It is also architected so that applications can maintain platform-independence.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="63962"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.3.1	</i> Backward Compatibility
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="61985"><!-- --></a>
To ensure backward compatibility, the functionality of existing JDK graphics and imaging classes and interfaces was maintained. Existing features were not removed and no package designations were changed for existing classes. The Java 2D API enhances the functionality of the AWT by implementing new methods in existing classes, extending existing classes, and adding new classes and interfaces that don&#39;t affect the legacy APIs.<p>
<a name="61987"><!-- --></a>
For example, much of the Java 2D API functionality is delivered through an expanded graphics context, <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd>. To provide this extended graphics context while maintaining backward compatibility, <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> extends the <kbd>Graphics</kbd> class from the JDK 1.1 release.<p>
<a name="63834"><!-- --></a>
The usage model of the graphics context remains unchanged. The AWT passes a graphics context to an AWT <kbd>Component</kbd> through the following methods:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="63835"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>paint</kbd>
</li>
<li>
<a name="61997"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>paintAll</kbd>
</li>
<li>
<a name="61998"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>update</kbd>
</li>
<li>
<a name="61999"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>print</kbd>
</li>
<li>
<a name="62839"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>printAll</kbd>
</li>
<li>
<a name="62840"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>getGraphics</kbd>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="62841"><!-- --></a>
A JDK 1.1 applet interprets the graphics context that&#39;s passed in as an instance of <kbd>Graphics</kbd>. To gain access to the new features implemented in <kbd>Graphics2D, </kbd>a Java 2D API&#45;compatible applet casts the graphics context to a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> object:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><pre>public void Paint (Graphics g) {	Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;	...	...	g2.setTransform (t);}</pre></blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="62013"><!-- --></a>
In some cases, rather than extending a legacy class, the Java 2D API generalizes it. Two techniques were used to generalize legacy classes:<p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>
<a name="63864"><!-- --></a>
One or more parent classes were inserted in the hierarchy, and the legacy class was updated to extend the new parent classes. This technique is used to add general implemented methods and instance data to the legacy class. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="63880"><!-- --></a>
One or more interface implementations were added to the legacy class. This technique is used to add general abstract methods to the legacy class. 
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<a name="63895"><!-- --></a>
For example, the Java 2D API generalizes the AWT <kbd>Rectangle</kbd> class using both of these techniques. The hierarchy for rectangle now looks like:<p>
</blockquote><blockquote><pre>java.lang.object|+-------java.awt.geom.RectangularShape             |             +---------java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D                               |                               +-------java.awt.Rectangle</pre></blockquote><blockquote>
<a name="62856"><!-- --></a>
In the JDK 1.1 software, <kbd>Rectangle</kbd> simply extended <kbd>Object</kbd>. It now extends the new <kbd>Rectangle2D</kbd> class and implements both <kbd>Shape</kbd> and <kbd>Serializable</kbd>. Two parent classes were added to the <kbd>Rectangle </kbd>hierarchy: <kbd>RectangularShape</kbd> and <kbd>Rectangle2D</kbd>. Applets written for JDK 1.1 software are unaware of the new parent classes and interface implementations, but are unaffected because <kbd>Rectangle</kbd> still contains the methods and members that were present in earlier versions.<p>
<a name="62031"><!-- --></a>
The Java 2D API adds several new classes and interfaces that are &#34;orthogonal&#34; to the legacy API. These additions do not extend or generalize existing classes&#45;&#45;they are entirely new and distinct. These new classes and interfaces embody concepts that had no explicit representation in the legacy API. <p>
<a name="63955"><!-- --></a>
For example, the Java 2D API implements several new <kbd>Shape</kbd> classes, including <kbd>Arc2D</kbd>, <kbd>CubicCurve2D</kbd>, and <kbd>QuadCurve2D</kbd>. Although early versions of the AWT could render arcs using the <kbd>drawArc</kbd> and <kbd>fillArc</kbd> methods, there was no general curve abstraction and no discrete classes that embodied arcs. These discrete classes could be added to the Java 2D API without disrupting legacy applets because <kbd>drawArc</kbd> and <kbd>fillArc</kbd> are still supported through the <kbd>Graphics</kbd> class.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="63963"><!-- --></a>
<i>1.3.2	</i> Platform Independence
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="62033"><!-- --></a>
To enable the development of platform-independent applications, the Java 2D API makes no assumptions about the resolution, color space, or color model of the target rendering device. Nor does the Java 2D API assume any particular image file format. <p>
<a name="63973"><!-- --></a>
Truly platform-independent fonts are possible only when the fonts are built-in (provided as part of the JDK software), or when they are mathematically or programmatically generated. The Java 2D API does not currently support built-in or mathematically generated fonts, but it does enable the programmatic definition of entire fonts through their glyph set. Each glyph can in turn be defined by a <kbd>Shape</kbd> that consists of line segments and curves. Many fonts of particular styles and sizes can be derived from a single glyph set. <p>

<h2><a name="417953"><i>7.2	</i> Printing Concepts
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="420599"><!-- --></a>
The Java Printing API is based on a <em>callback</em> printing model in which the printing system, not the application, controls when pages are printed. The application provides information about the document to be printed and the printing system asks the application to render each page as it needs them. <p>
<a name="420653"><!-- --></a>
The printing system might request that a particular page be rendered more than once or request that pages be rendered out of order. The application must be able to generate the proper page image, no matter which page the printing system requests. In this respect, the printing system is similar to the window toolkit, which can request components to repaint at any time, in any order.<p>
<a name="420654"><!-- --></a>
The callback printing model is more flexible than traditional application-driven printing models and supports printing on a wider range of systems and printers. For example, if a printer stacks output pages in reverse order, the printing system can ask the application to generate pages in reverse order so that the final stack is in proper reading order. <p>
<a name="420602"><!-- --></a>
This model also enables applications to print to a bitmap printer from computers that don&#39;t have enough memory or disk space to buffer a full-page bitmap. In this situation, a page is printed as a series of small bitmaps or <em>bands</em>. For example, if only enough memory to buffer one tenth of a page is available, the page is divided into ten bands. The printing system asks the application to render each page ten times, once to fill each band. The application does not need to be aware of the number or size of the bands; it simply must be able to render each page when requested.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="420680"><!-- --></a>
<i>7.2.1	</i> Supporting Printing
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="420710"><!-- --></a>
An application has to perform two tasks to support printing:<p>
<li>
<a name="420725"><!-- --></a>
Job control&#45;&#45;initiating and managing the print job.
</li>
<li>
<a name="420734"><!-- --></a>
Imaging&#45;&#45;rendering each page when the printing system requests it.
</li>
</blockquote><a name="420756"><!-- --></a>
<b>Job Control</b><br>

<blockquote>
<a name="420777"><!-- --></a>
The user often initiates printing by clicking a button or selecting a menu item in an application. When a print operation is triggered by the user, the application creates a <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd> object and uses it to manage the printing process. <p>
<a name="420807"><!-- --></a>
The application is responsible for setting up the print job, displaying print dialogs to the user, and starting the printing process.<p>
</blockquote><a name="420758"><!-- --></a>
<b>Imaging </b><br>

<blockquote>
<a name="420736"><!-- --></a>
When a document is printed, the application has to render each page when the printing system requests it. To support this mechanism, the application provides a <em>page painter</em> that implements the <kbd>Printable</kbd> interface. When the printing system needs a page rendered, it calls the page painter&#39;s <kbd>print</kbd> method.<p>
<a name="420899"><!-- --></a>
When a page painter&#39;s <kbd>print</kbd> method is called, it is passed a <kbd>Graphics</kbd> context to use to render the page image. It is also passed a <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> object that specifies the geometric layout of the page, and an integer <em>page index</em> that identifies the ordinal position of the page in the print job.<p>
<a name="420607"><!-- --></a>
The printing system supports both <kbd>Graphics</kbd> and <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> rendering, To print Java 2D <kbd>Shapes</kbd>, <kbd>Text</kbd>, and <kbd>Images</kbd>, you cast the <kbd>Graphics</kbd> object passed into the <kbd>print</kbd> method to a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd>.<p>
<a name="420859"><!-- --></a>
To print documents in which the pages use different page painters and have different formats, you use a <em>pageable job</em>. To create a pageable job, you can use the <kbd>Book</kbd> class or your own implementation of the <kbd>Pageable</kbd> interface. To implement simple printing operations, you do not need to use a pageable print job; <kbd>Printable</kbd> can be used as long as all of the pages share the same page format and painter.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="420933"><!-- --></a>
<i>7.2.2	</i> Page Painters
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="420934"><!-- --></a>
The principal job of a page painter is to render a page using the graphics context that is provided by the printing system. A page painter implements the <kbd>Printable</kbd>.<kbd>print</kbd> method:<p>
<a name="420935"></a>
<kbd>public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) </kbd><p><a name="420936"><!-- --></a>
The graphics context passed to the <kbd>print</kbd> method is either an instance of <kbd>Graphics</kbd> or <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd>, depending on the packages loaded in your Java Virtual Machine. To use <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd> features, you can cast the <kbd>Graphics</kbd> object to a <kbd>Graphics2D</kbd>. The <kbd>Graphics</kbd> instance passed to <kbd>print</kbd> also implements the <kbd>PrinterGraphics</kbd> interface.<p>
<a name="420937"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> passed to a <kbd>Printable</kbd> describes the geometry of the page being printed. The coordinate system of the graphics context passed to <kbd>print</kbd> is fixed to the page: the origin of the coordinate system is at the upper left corner of the paper, <em>X</em> increases to the right, <em>Y</em> increases downward, and the units are 1/72 inch. If the page is in portrait orientation, the x-axis aligns with the paper&#39;s &#34;width,&#34; while the y-axis aligns with the paper&#39;s &#34;height.&#34; (Normally, but not always, a paper&#39;s height exceeds its width.) If the page is in landscape orientation, the roles are reversed: the x-axis aligns with the paper&#39;s &#34;height&#34; and the y-axis with its &#34;width.&#34; <p>
<a name="420938"><!-- --></a>
Because many printers cannot print on the entire paper surface, the <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> specifies the <em>imageable area</em> of the page: this is the portion of the page in which it&#39;s safe to render. The specification of the imageable area does not alter the coordinate system; it is provided so that the contents of the page can be rendered so that they don&#39;t extend into the area where the printer can&#39;t print.<p>
<a name="420939"><!-- --></a>
The graphics context passed to <kbd>print</kbd> has a clip region that describes the portion of the imageable area that should be drawn. It is always safe to draw the entire page into the context; the printing system will handle the necessary clipping. However, to eliminate the overhead of drawing portions of the page that won&#39;t be printed, you can use the clipping region to limit the areas that you render. To get the clipping region from the graphics context, call <kbd>Graphics.getClip</kbd>. You are strongly encouraged to use the clip region to reduce the rendering overhead.<p>
<a name="420940"><!-- --></a>
It is sometimes desirable to launch the entire printing operation &#34;in the background&#34; so that a user can continue to interact with the application while pages are being rendered. To do this, call <kbd>PrinterJob.print</kbd> in a separate thread.<p>
<a name="420941"><!-- --></a>
If possible, you should avoid graphics operations that require knowledge of the previous image contents, such as <kbd>copyArea</kbd>, <kbd>setXOR</kbd>, and compositing. These operations can slow rendering and the results might be inconsistent.<p>
</blockquote>

<h3>
<a name="417961"><!-- --></a>
<i>7.2.3	</i> Printable Jobs and Pageable Jobs
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="417963"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Printable</kbd> job provides the simplest way to print. Only one page painter is used; the application provides a single class that implements the <kbd>Printable</kbd> interface. When it&#39;s time to print, the printing system calls the page painter&#39;s <kbd>print</kbd> method to render each page. The pages are requested in order, starting with page index 0. However, the page painter might be asked to render each page several times before it advances to the next page. When the last page has been printed, the page painter&#39;s print method returns NO_SUCH_PAGE. <p>
<a name="419828"><!-- --></a>
In a <kbd>Printable</kbd> job:<p>

The printing system always asks the page painter to print each page in indexed order, starting with the page at index 0. No pages are skipped.

A <kbd>Pageable</kbd> job is more flexible than a <kbd>Printable</kbd> job. Unlike the pages in a <kbd>Printable</kbd> job, pages in a <kbd>Pageable</kbd> job can differ in layout and implementation. To manage a <kbd>Pageable</kbd> job, you can use the <kbd>Book</kbd> class or implement your own <kbd>Pageable</kbd> class. Through the <kbd>Pageable</kbd>, the printing system can determine the number of pages to print, the page painter to use for each page, and the <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> to use for each page. Applications that need to print documents that have a planned structure and format should use <kbd>Pageable</kbd> jobs. <p>
<a name="419829"><!-- --></a>
In a <kbd>Pageable</kbd> job:<p>
<blockquote>
<li>
<a name="417970"><!-- --></a>
Different pages can use different page painters and <kbd>PageFormats</kbd>. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="417971"><!-- --></a>
The printing system can ask page painters to print pages in an arbitrary order and some pages might be skipped. For example, if a user asks to print pages 2 and 3 of a document, the page painter will be called with indices 1 and 2 and page index 0 will be skipped.
</li>
<li>
<a name="420244"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Pageable</kbd> jobs do not need to know in advance how many pages are in the document. However, unlike <kbd>Printable</kbd> jobs, they must be able to render pages in any order. There might be gaps in the sequencing and the printing system might request that a page be rendered multiple times before moving to the next page. For example, a request to print pages 2 and 3 of a document might result in a sequence of calls that request pages with indices 2,2,1,1, and 1.

<i>7.2.4	</i> Typical Life-Cycle of a PrinterJob
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="420223"><!-- --></a>
An application steers the <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd> object through a sequence of steps to complete a printing job. The simplest sequence used by an application is:<p>
<ol>
<li>
Get a new <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd> object by calling <kbd>PrinterJob.getPrinterJob</kbd>.
<li>
Determine what <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> to use for printing. A default <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> can be obtained by calling <kbd>defaultPage</kbd> or you can invoke <kbd>pageDialog</kbd> to present a dialog box that allows the user to specify a format.
<li>
Specify the characteristics of the job to be printed to the <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd>. For a <kbd>Printable</kbd> job, call <kbd>setPrintable</kbd>; for a <kbd>Pageable</kbd> job, call <kbd>setPageable</kbd>. Note that a <kbd>Book</kbd> object is ideal for passing to <kbd>setPageable</kbd>.
<li>
Specify additional print job properties, such as the number of copies to print or the name of the job to print on the banner page.
<li>
Call <kbd>printDialog</kbd> to present a dialog box to the user. This is optional. The contents and appearance of this dialog can vary across different platforms and printers. On most platforms, the user can use this dialog to change the printer selection. If the user cancels the print job, the <kbd>printDialog</kbd> method returns <kbd>FALSE</kbd>.
<li>
Call <kbd>Printerjob.print</kbd> to print the job. This method in turn calls <kbd>print</kbd> on the appropriate page painters.
</ol>
<p>
A job can be interrupted during printing if:<p>
<blockquote>
<li>
<a name="420963"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>PrinterException</kbd> is thrown&#45;&#45;the exception is caught by the <kbd>print</kbd> method and the job is halted. A page painter throws a <kbd>PrinterException</kbd> if it detects a fatal error. 
</li>
<li>
<a name="417984"><!-- --></a>
 <kbd>PrinterJob.cancel</kbd> is called&#45;&#45;the printing loop is terminated and the job is canceled. The <kbd>cancel</kbd> method can be called from a separate thread that displays a dialog box and allows the user to cancel printing by clicking a button in the box.
</li>
</blockquote>
<a name="417985"><!-- --></a>
Pages generated before a print job is stopped might or might not be printed.<p>
<a name="417986"><!-- --></a>
The print job is usually not finished when the <kbd>print</kbd> method returns. Work is typically still being done by a printer driver, print server, or the printer itself. The state of the <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd> object might not reflect the state of the actual job being printed.<p>
<a name="420329"><!-- --></a>
Because the state of a <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd> changes during its life cycle, it is illegal to invoke certain methods at certain times. For example, calling <kbd>setPageable</kbd> after you&#39;ve called <kbd>print</kbd> makes no sense. When illegal calls are detected, the <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd> throws a <kbd>java.lang.IllegalStateException</kbd>.<p>
</blockquote>
<br>
<h3>
<a name="417988"><!-- --></a>
<i>7.2.5	</i> Dialogs
</h3>

<blockquote>
<a name="417989"><!-- --></a>
The Java Printing API requires that applications invoke user-interface dialogs explicitly. These dialogs might be provided by the platform software (such as Windows) or by a JDK software implementation. For interactive applications, it is customary to use such dialogs. For production printing applications, however, dialogs are not necessary. For example, you wouldn&#39;t want to display a dialog when automatically generating and printing a nightly database report. A print job that requires no user interaction is sometimes called a <em>silent</em> print job.<p>
</blockquote><a name="417990"><!-- --></a>
<b>Page setup dialog</b><br>

<blockquote>
<a name="417991"><!-- --></a>
You can allow the user to alter the page setup information contained in a <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> by displaying a page setup dialog. To display the page setup dialog, you call <kbd>PrinterJob.pageDialog</kbd>. The page setup dialog is initialized using the parameter passed to <kbd>pageDialog</kbd>. If the user clicks the OK button in the dialog, the <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> instance is cloned, altered to reflect the user&#39;s selections, and then returned. If the user cancels the dialog, <kbd>pageDialog</kbd> returns the original unaltered <kbd>PageFormat</kbd>.<p>
</blockquote><a name="417993"><!-- --></a>
<b>Print dialog</b><br>

<blockquote>
<a name="417994"><!-- --></a>
Typically, an application presents a print dialog to the user when a print menu item or button is activated. To display this print dialog, you call the <kbd>PrinterJob&#39;s printDialog</kbd> method. The user&#39;s choices in the dialog are constrained based on the number and format of the pages in the <kbd>Printable</kbd> or <kbd>Pageable</kbd> that have been furnished to the <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd>. If the user clicks OK in the print dialog, <kbd>printDialog</kbd> returns <kbd>TRUE</kbd>. If the user cancels the print dialog, <kbd>FALSE</kbd> is returned and the print job should be considered abandoned.<p>

<h3><i>7.3.2	</i> Printing a File</h3><br>

<p>
When a page painter&#39;s print method is invoked several times for the same page, it must generate the same output each time.<p>
There are many ways to ensure that repeated requests to render a page yield the same output. For example, to ensure that the same output is generated each time the printing system requests a particular page of a text file, page painter could either store and reuse file pointers for each page or store the actual page data. <p>
In the following example, a &#34;listing&#34; of a text file is printed. The name of the file is passed as an argument to the <kbd>main</kbd> method. The <kbd>PrintListingPainter</kbd> class stores the file pointer in effect at the beginning of each new page it is asked to render. When the same page is rendered again, the file pointer is reset to the remembered position.<p>

<h2><a name="418034"><i>7.4	</i> Printing with Pageables and Books
</a></h2>

<blockquote>
<a name="418035"><!-- --></a>
<kbd>Pageable</kbd> jobs are suited for applications that build an explicit representation of a document, page by page. The <kbd>Book</kbd> class is a convenient way to use <kbd>Pageables</kbd>, but you can also build your own <kbd>Pageable</kbd> structures if <kbd>Book</kbd> does not suit your needs. This section shows you how to use <kbd>Book</kbd>.<p>
<a name="418036"><!-- --></a>
Although slightly more involved, <kbd>Pageable</kbd> jobs are preferred over <kbd>Printable</kbd> jobs because the printing system has more flexibility. A major advantage of <kbd>Pageables</kbd> is that the number of pages in the document is usually known and can be displayed to the user in the print dialog box. This helps the user to confirm that the job is specified correctly or to select a range of pages for printing.<p>
<a name="418037"><!-- --></a>
A <kbd>Book</kbd> represents a collection of pages. The pages in a book do not have to share the same size, orientation, or page painter. For example, a <kbd>Book</kbd> might contain two letter size pages in portrait orientation and a letter size page in landscape orientation.<p>
<a name="418038"><!-- --></a>
When a <kbd>Book</kbd> is first constructed, it is empty. To add pages to a <kbd>Book</kbd>, you use the <kbd>append</kbd> method. This method takes a <kbd>PageFormat</kbd> object that defines the page&#39;s size, printable area, and orientation and a page painter that implements the <kbd>Printable</kbd> interface.<p>
<a name="418039"><!-- --></a>
Multiple pages in a <kbd>Book</kbd> can share the same page format and painter. The <kbd>append</kbd> method is overloaded to enable you to add a series of pages that have the same attributes by specifying a third parameter, the number of pages.<p>
<a name="420434"><!-- --></a>
If you don&#39;t know the total number of pages in a <kbd>Book</kbd>, you can pass <kbd>UNKNOWN_NUMBER_OF_PAGES</kbd> to the <kbd>append</kbd> method. The printing system will then call your page painters in order of increasing page index until one of them returns <kbd>NO_SUCH_PAGE</kbd>.<p>
<a name="418041"><!-- --></a>
The <kbd>setPage</kbd> method can be used to change a page&#39;s page format or painter. The page to be changed is identified by a page index that indicates the page&#39;s location in the <kbd>Book</kbd>.<p>
<a name="418042"><!-- --></a>
You call <kbd>setPageable</kbd> and pass in the <kbd>Book</kbd> to prepare the print job. The <kbd>setPageable</kbd> and <kbd>setPrintable</kbd> methods are mutually exclusive; that is, you should call one or the other but not both when preparing the <kbd>PrinterJob</kbd>.<p>

Note that you still have to implement the <kbd>Printable</kbd> interface and perform page rendering in the page painter&#39;s <kbd>print</kbd> method. <p>
