/**
 * A RenderContext encapsulates the information needed to produce a
 * specific rendering from a RenderableImage.  It contains the area to
 * be rendered specified in rendering-independent terms, the
 * resolution at which the rendering is to be performed, and hints
 * used to control the rendering process.
 * 
 * <p> Users create RenderContexts and pass them to the
 * RenderableImage via the createRendering method.  Most of the methods of
 * RenderContexts are not meant to be used directly by applications,
 * but by the RenderableImage and operator classes to which it is
 * passed.
 *
 * <p> The AffineTransform parameter passed into and out of this class
 * are cloned.  The RenderingHints and Shape parameters are not
 * necessarily cloneable and are therefore only reference copied.
 * Altering RenderingHints or Shape instances that are in use by
 * instances of RenderContext may have undesired side effects.
