/**
|
|
* This class describes a strategy for managing image buffering
|
|
* resources on a Canvas or Window. A given buffer strategy may make
|
|
* use of hardware acceleration or take advantage of features of the
|
|
* native graphics system. Examples of buffering strategies are
|
|
* double or triple buffering using either flipping or blitting. For
|
|
* the details of these algorithms see BufferCapabilities.
|
|
*
|
|
* To use a buffer strategy, you retrieve it from either the current
|
|
* GraphicsConfiguration or from the Component on which you'd like to
|
|
* draw. Then you can query the strategy's capabilities to make sure
|
|
* they're suitable.
|
|
*
|
|
* If the strategy's capabilities are suitable, you can obtain a
|
|
* graphics object and use it to draw with this strategy. Drawing
|
|
* with a buffer strategy requires extra care, however. You'll need
|
|
* to manually cause the next buffer to be shown on the output device.
|
|
* And since buffer strategies are usually implemented with a
|
|
* VolatileImage, you must frequently check that the contents of the
|
|
* buffer are valid and that the buffer still exists.
|
|
*
|
|
* A buffer strategy is usually implemented using a VolatileImage.

|
*

* @see VolatileImage

* @since 1.4
