Class DebugGraphics

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.Graphics
          javax.swing.DebugGraphics

    public class DebugGraphics

extends Graphics

Graphics subclass supporting graphics debugging. Overrides most methods from Graphics. DebugGraphics objects are rarely created by hand. They are most frequently created automatically when a JComponent's debugGraphicsOptions are changed using the setDebugGraphicsOptions() method.

NOTE: You must turn off double buffering to use DebugGraphics: RepaintManager repaintManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(component); repaintManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);

See Also:
  `JComponent.setDebugGraphicsOptions(int)`, `RepaintManager.currentManager(java.awt.Component)`, `RepaintManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(boolean)`

Field Summary
`static int` | `BUFFERED_OPTION` Show buffered operations in a separate `Frame`.
`static int` | `FLASH_OPTION` Flash graphics operations.
`static int` | `LOG_OPTION` Log graphics operations.
