Graphics2D Ja va 1.2

java.awt

This class is the Java 2D graphics context that encapsulates all drawing and filling oper-

ations. It generalizes and extends the Graphics class. A number of attributes control how

the Graphics2D object perfor ms drawing and filling operations. You can set these

attributes with the following methods:

setBackground()

Specifies the background color used by the clearRect() method of the Graphics

object. Prior to Java 2D, the background color could not be set.

setClip()

Sets the clipping region, outside of which no drawing is done. This method is

inherited from the Graphics object. Use setClip() to establish an initial clipping region

and then use clip() to narrow that region by intersecting it with other regions.

setComposite()

Specifies a Composite object (typically an instance of AlphaComposite) that should be

used to combine drawing colors with the colors that are alr eady pr esent on the

drawing surface.
