SurfaceType

additional 3 byte format common on Windows

surface is unknown color model or sample model.

wildcard format which indicates that the GraphicsPrimitive operates on a surface with 3 component interleaved Raster and sample model and a ComponentColorModel with an arbitrary ordering of the RGB channels

wildcard format which indicates that the GraphicsPrimitive operates on a surface with 4 component interleaved Raster and sample model and a ComponentColorModel with an arbitrary ordering of the ARGB channels

wildcard format which indicates that the GraphicsPrimitive is independent of the color model on a ByteComponent sample model surface

wildcard format which indicates that the GraphicsPrimitive is independent of the color model on an IntegerComponent sample model surface

wildcard format which indicates that the GraphicsPrimitive operates on a surface with a single component IntegerComponent sample model and a DirectColorModel with an arbitrary ordering of the RGB channels

Special type for describing the sources of loops that render the current foreground color or paint instead of copying colors from a source surface.

wildcard format which indicates that the GraphicsPrimitive is independent of the color model on a ShortComponent sample model surface

Special Gray Scale types for rendering loops. Really indexed types, but colormap has all gray values.

The root SurfaceType object for all chains of surface descriptions. The root uses the default PixelConverter object, which uses a given ColorModel object to calculate its pixelFor() values when asked. Any SurfaceType objects that are not created with a specific PixelConverter object will inherit this behavior from the root.

Return a new SurfaceType object which uses this object as its more general "supertype" descriptor. If no operation can be found that manipulates the type of surface described more exactly by desc, then this object will define the more relaxed specification of the surface that can be used to find a more general operator.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

• It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).

Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals(Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals(java.lang.Object) method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hashtables.

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the Java^TM programming language.)

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
