RenderContext (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- java.awt.image.renderable.RenderContext

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable
```
public class RenderContext
extends Object
implements Cloneable
```
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.
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.
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.

```
public RenderContext(AffineTransform usr2dev,
                     Shape aoi)
```
    Constructs a RenderContext with a given transform and area of interest. The area of interest is supplied as a Shape. No rendering hints are used.
    
    Parameters:
    
    usr2dev - an AffineTransform.
    
    aoi - a Shape representing the area of interest.

  - getRenderingHints
```
public RenderingHints getRenderingHints()
```
    Gets the rendering hints of this RenderContext.
    
    Returns:
    
    a RenderingHints object that represents the rendering hints of this RenderContext.
    
    See Also:
    
    setRenderingHints(RenderingHints)
  - setRenderingHints
```
public void setRenderingHints(RenderingHints hints)
```
    Sets the rendering hints of this RenderContext.
    
    Parameters:
    
    hints - a RenderingHints object that represents the rendering hints to assign to this RenderContext.
    
    See Also:
    
    getRenderingHints()
  - setTransform
```
public void setTransform(AffineTransform newTransform)
```
    Sets the current user-to-device AffineTransform contained in the RenderContext to a given transform.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newTransform - the new AffineTransform.
    
    See Also:
    
    getTransform()
  - preConcatenateTransform
```
public void preConcatenateTransform(AffineTransform modTransform)
```
    Modifies the current user-to-device transform by prepending another transform. In matrix notation the operation is:
```
 [this] = [modTransform] x [this]
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    modTransform - the AffineTransform to prepend to the current usr2dev transform.

@Deprecated
public void preConcetenateTransform(AffineTransform modTransform)

    Modifies the current user-to-device transform by prepending another transform. In matrix notation the operation is:
```
 [this] = [modTransform] x [this]
 
```
    This method does the same thing as the preConcatenateTransform method. It is here for backward compatibility with previous releases which misspelled the method name.

    modTransform - the AffineTransform to prepend to the current usr2dev transform.
  - concatenateTransform
```
public void concatenateTransform(AffineTransform modTransform)
