Interface Composite

public interface Composite

This interface is for graphics which are formed as composites of others. It combines {@link Graphics2D} shapes according to defined rules to form the new image. Implementations of this interface must be immutable, because they are not cloned when a Graphics2D container is cloned.

Since this can expose pixels to untrusted code, there is a security check on custom objects, readDisplayPixels, to prevent leaking restricted information graphically.

Since: 1.2

UNKNOWN: updated to 1.4

Method Summary
