    `font` - the font.
  See Also:
    `Graphics.getFont()`

### getClipBounds

    public java.awt.Rectangle getClipBounds()

  Returns the bounding rectangle of the current clipping area. This method refers to the user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility. If no clip has previously been set, or if the clip has been cleared using `setClip(null)`, this method returns `null`. The coordinates in the rectangle are relative to the coordinate system origin of this graphics context.

  Returns:
    the bounding rectangle of the current clipping area, or `null` if no clip is set.
  Since:
    JDK1.1
  See Also:
    `Graphics.getClip()`, `Graphics.clipRect(int, int, int, int)`, `Graphics.setClip(int, int, int, int)`, `Graphics.setClip(Shape)`

### clipRect

    public void clipRect(int x,
                         int y,
                         int width,
                         int height)

  Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle. The resulting clipping area is the intersection of the current clipping area and the specified rectangle. If there is no current clipping area, either because the clip has never been set, or the clip has been cleared using `setClip(null)`, the specified rectangle becomes the new clip. This method sets the user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility. This method can only be used to make the current clip smaller. To set the current clip larger, use any of the setClip methods. Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.

  Parameters:
    `x` - the x coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
    `y` - the y coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
    `width` - the width of the rectangle to intersect the clip with
    `height` - the height of the rectangle to intersect the clip with

                        int height)

  Sets the current clip to the rectangle specified by the given coordinates. This method sets the user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility. Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.

  Parameters:
    `x` - the x coordinate of the new clip rectangle.
    `y` - the y coordinate of the new clip rectangle.
    `width` - the width of the new clip rectangle.
    `height` - the height of the new clip rectangle.
  Since:
    JDK1.1
  See Also:
    `Graphics.clipRect(int, int, int, int)`, `Graphics.setClip(Shape)`

### getClip

    public java.awt.Shape getClip()

  Gets the current clipping area. This method returns the user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility. If no clip has previously been set, or if the clip has been cleared using `setClip(null)`, this method returns `null`.

  Returns:
    a `Shape` object representing the current clipping area, or `null` if no clip is set.
  Since:
    JDK1.1
  See Also:
    `Graphics.getClipBounds()`, `Graphics.clipRect(int, int, int, int)`, `Graphics.setClip(int, int, int, int)`, `Graphics.setClip(Shape)`

### setClip

    public void setClip(java.awt.Shape clip)

  Sets the current clipping area to an arbitrary clip shape. Not all objects that implement the `Shape` interface can be used to set the clip. The only `Shape` objects that are guaranteed to be supported are `Shape` objects that are obtained via the `getClip` method and via `Rectangle` objects. This method sets the user clip, which is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility.

  Parameters:
    `clip` - the `Shape` to use to set the clip
  Since:
    JDK1.1
  See Also:
    `Graphics.getClip()`, `Graphics.clipRect(int, int, int, int)`, `Graphics.setClip(int, int, int, int)`

### setComposite

    public void setComposite(java.awt.Composite comp)

  Sets the `Composite` for the `Graphics2D` context. The `Composite` is used in all drawing methods such as `drawImage`, `drawString`, `draw`, and `fill`. It specifies how new pixels are to be combined with the existing pixels on the graphics device during the rendering process.

  If this `Graphics2D` context is drawing to a `Component` on the display screen and the `Composite` is a custom object rather than an instance of the `AlphaComposite` class, and if there is a security manager, its `checkPermission` method is called with an `AWTPermission("readDisplayPixels")` permission.

  Parameters:
    `comp` - the `Composite` object to be used for rendering
  Throws:
    `java.lang.SecurityException` - if a custom `Composite` object is being used to render to the screen and a security manager is set and its `checkPermission` method does not allow the operation.

### setPaint

    public void setPaint(java.awt.Paint paint)

  Sets the `Paint` attribute for the `Graphics2D` context. Calling this method with a `null` `Paint` object does not have any effect on the current `Paint` attribute of this `Graphics2D`.

  Parameters:
    `paint` - the `Paint` object to be used to generate color during the rendering process, or `null`
  See Also:
    `Graphics.setColor(java.awt.Color)`, `GradientPaint`, `TexturePaint`

  Concatenates the current `Graphics2D` `Transform` with a translated rotation transform. Subsequent rendering is transformed by a transform which is constructed by translating to the specified location, rotating by the specified radians, and translating back by the same amount as the original translation. This is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:

                translate(x, y);
                rotate(theta);
                translate(-x, -y);

This is equivalent to calling `transform(S)`, where S is an `AffineTransform` represented by the following matrix:

                [   sx   0    0   ]
                [   0    sy   0   ]

                [   1   shx   0   ]
                [  shy   1    0   ]
                [   0    0    1   ]

  Parameters:

### transform

    public void transform(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform Tx)

  Composes an `AffineTransform` object with the `Transform` in this `Graphics2D` according to the rule last-specified-first-applied. If the current `Transform` is Cx, the result of composition with Tx is a new `Transform` Cx'. Cx' becomes the current `Transform` for this `Graphics2D`. Transforming a point p by the updated `Transform` Cx' is equivalent to first transforming p by Tx and then transforming the result by the original `Transform` Cx. In other words, Cx'(p) = Cx(Tx(p)). A copy of the Tx is made, if necessary, so further modifications to Tx do not affect rendering.

  Parameters:
    `Tx` - the `AffineTransform` object to be composed with the current `Transform`
  See Also:
    `setTransform(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform)`, `AffineTransform`

### setTransform

    public void setTransform(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform Tx)

### setBackground

    public void setBackground(java.awt.Color color)

  Sets the background color for the `Graphics2D` context. The background color is used for clearing a region. When a `Graphics2D` is constructed for a `Component`, the background color is inherited from the `Component`. Setting the background color in the `Graphics2D` context only affects the subsequent `clearRect` calls and not the background color of the `Component`. To change the background of the `Component`, use appropriate methods of the `Component`.

  Parameters:
    `color` - the background color that isused in subsequent calls to `clearRect`
  See Also:
    `getBackground()`, `Graphics.clearRect(int, int, int, int)`

### clip

    public void clip(java.awt.Shape s)

  Intersects the current `Clip` with the interior of the specified `Shape` and sets the `Clip` to the resulting intersection. The specified `Shape` is transformed with the current `Graphics2D` `Transform` before being intersected with the current `Clip`. This method is used to make the current `Clip` smaller. To make the `Clip` larger, use `setClip`. The user clip modified by this method is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and visibility. If no clip has previously been set, or if the clip has been cleared using `setClip` with a `null` argument, the specified `Shape` becomes the new user clip.

  Parameters:
    `s` - the `Shape` to be intersected with the current `Clip`. If `s` is `null`, this method clears the current `Clip`.

### getFontRenderContext

    public java.awt.font.FontRenderContext getFontRenderContext()

  Get the rendering context of the `Font` within this `Graphics2D` context. The `FontRenderContext` encapsulates application hints such as anti-aliasing and fractional metrics, as well as target device specific information such as dots-per-inch. This information should be provided by the application when using objects that perform typographical formatting, such as `Font` and `TextLayout`. This information should also be provided by applications that perform their own layout and need accurate measurements of various characteristics of glyphs such as advance and line height when various rendering hints have been applied to the text rendering.

  Returns:
    a reference to an instance of FontRenderContext.
  Since:
    JDK1.2
