java.awt.Graphics (JDK 1.0)

This abstract class defines a device-independent interface to graphics. It specifies methods for doing line drawing, area filling, image painting, area copying, and graphics output clipping. Specific subclasses of Graphics are implemented for different platforms and different graphics output devices. A Graphics object cannot be created directly through a constructor--it must be obtained with the getGraphics() method of a Component or an Image, or copied from an existing Graphics object with create(). When a Graphics object is no longer needed, you should call dispose() to free up the window system resources it uses.
