The following tables list the interfaces and classes used in conjunction with the Graphics2D context, including the classes that represent state attributes. Most of these classes are part of the java.awt package.
Interface
Description
Composite
Defines methods to compose a draw primitive with the underlying graphics area. Implemented by AlphaComposite.
CompositeContext
Defines the encapsulated and optimized environment for a composite operation. Used by programmers implementing custom compositing rules.
Paint
Extends: Transparency
Defines colors for a draw or fill operation. Implemented by Color, GradientPaint and TexturePaint.
PaintContext
Defines the encapsulated and optimized environment for a paint operation. Used by programmers implementing custom paint operations.
Stroke
Generates a Shape that encloses the outline of the Shape to be rendered. Implemented by BasicStroke.
Class
Description
AffineTransform
(java.awt.geom)
Represents a 2D affine transform, which performs a linear mapping from 2D coordinates to other 2D coordinates.
AlphaComposite
Implements: Composite
Implements basic alpha composite rules for shapes, text, and images.
BasicStroke
Implements: Stroke
Defines the "pen style" to be applied to the outline of a Shape.
Color
Implements: Paint
Defines a solid color fill for a Shape.
GradientPaint
Implements: Paint
Defines a linear color gradient fill pattern for a Shape. This fill pattern changes from color C1 at point P1 to color C2 at point P2.
Graphics2D
Extends: Graphics
Fundamental class for 2D rendering. Extends the original java.awt.Graphics class.
TexturePaint
Implements: Paint
Defines a texture or pattern fill for a Shape. The texture or pattern is generated from a BufferedImage.
