 * The abstract Graphics class allows applications to draw on a screen or other

 * The origin point specifies the beginning of the clipping area coordinate
 * system. All coordinates used in rendering operations are computed with
 * respect to this point. The clipping area defines the boundaries where
 * rendering operations can be performed. Rendering operations can't modify
 * pixels outside of the clipping area. <br>
 * <br>
 * The draw and fill methods allow applications to drawing shapes, text, images
 * with specified font and color options in the specified part of the screen.
