/**
* Synth is a skinnable look and feel in which all painting is delegated. Synth
* does not provide a default look. In order to use Synth you need to specify a
* <a href="doc-files/synthFileFormat.html">file</a>, or provide a
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyleFactory}. Both configuration options
* require an understanding of the synth architecture, which is described below,
* as well as an understanding of Swing's architecture.
* <p>
* Unless otherwise specified null is not a legal value to any of the methods
* defined in the synth package and if passed in will result in a
* {@code NullPointerException}.
*
* <h2>Synth</h2>
* Each {@link javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI} implementation in Synth associates
* itself with one {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyle} per
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region}, most {@code Components} only have one
* {@code Region} and therefor only one {@code SynthStyle}. {@code SynthStyle}
* is used to access all style related properties: fonts, colors
* and other {@code Component} properties. In addition {@code SynthStyle}s are
* used to obtain {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthPainter}s for painting the
* background, border, focus and other portions of a {@code Component}. The
* {@code ComponentUI}s obtain {@code SynthStyle}s from a
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyleFactory}. A {@code SynthStyleFactory}
* can be provided directly by way of
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthLookAndFeel#setStyleFactory(javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyleFactory)},
* or indirectly by way of {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthLookAndFeel#load}.
* The following example uses the {@code SynthLookAndFeel.load()} method to
* configure a {@code SynthLookAndFeel} and sets it as the current look and
* feel:
* <div class="example">
* <pre>{@code
* SynthLookAndFeel laf = new SynthLookAndFeel();
* laf.load(MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("laf.xml"), MyClass.class);
* UIManager.setLookAndFeel(laf);
* }</pre>
* </div>
* <p>
* Many {@code JComponent}s are broken down into smaller pieces and identified
* by the type safe enumeration in {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region}. For
* example, a {@code JTabbedPane} consists of a {@code Region} for the
* {@code JTabbedPane}({@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region#TABBED_PANE}), the
* content area ({@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region#TABBED_PANE_CONTENT}), the
* area behind the tabs
* ({@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region#TABBED_PANE_TAB_AREA}), and the tabs
* ({@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region#TABBED_PANE_TAB}). Each
* {@code Region} of each {@code JComponent} will have a {@code SynthStyle}.
* This allows you to customize individual pieces of each region of each
* {@code JComponent}.
* <p>
* Many of the Synth methods take a {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthContext}.
* This is used to provide information about the current {@code Component} and
* includes: the {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyle} associated with the
* current {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region}, the state of the
* {@code Component} as a bitmask (refer to
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthConstants} for the valid states), and a
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.Region} identifying the portion of the
* {@code Component} being painted.
* <p>
* All text rendering by non-{@code JTextComponent}s is delegated to a
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthGraphicsUtils}, which is obtained using
* the {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyle} method
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthStyle#getGraphicsUtils}. You can customize
* text rendering by supplying your own
* {@link javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthGraphicsUtils}.
*
* <h2>Notes on specific components</h2>
* <h3>JTree</h3>
* Synth provides a region for the cells of a tree:
* {@code Region.TREE_CELL}. To specify the colors of the
* renderer you'll want to provide a style for the
* {@code TREE_CELL} region. The following illustrates this:
* <pre>{@code
* <style id="treeCellStyle">
* <opaque value="TRUE"/>
* <state>
* <color value="WHITE" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
* <color value="RED" type="TEXT_BACKGROUND"/>
* </state>
* <state value="SELECTED">
* <color value="RED" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
* <color value="WHITE" type="BACKGROUND"/>
* </state>
* </style>
* <bind style="treeCellStyle" type="region" key="TreeCell"/>
* }</pre>
* <p>
* This specifies a color combination of red on white, when selected, and white
* on red when not selected. To see the background you need to specify that
* labels are not opaque. The following XML fragment does that:
* <pre>{@code
* <style id="labelStyle">
* <opaque value="FALSE"/>
* </style>
* <bind style="labelStyle" type="region" key="Label"/>
* }</pre>
*
* <h3>JList and JTable</h3>
* The colors that the renderers for JList and JTable use are specified by way
* of the list and table Regions. The following XML fragment illustrates how to
* specify red on white, when selected, and white on red when not selected:
* <pre>{@code
* <style id="style">
* <opaque value="TRUE"/>
* <state>
* <color value="WHITE" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
* <color value="RED" type="TEXT_BACKGROUND"/>
* <color value="RED" type="BACKGROUND"/>
* </state>
* <state value="SELECTED">
* <color value="RED" type="TEXT_FOREGROUND"/>
* <color value="WHITE" type="TEXT_BACKGROUND"/>
* </state>
* </style>
* <bind style="style" type="region" key="Table"/>
* <bind style="style" type="region" key="List"/>
* }</pre>
