CompositeContext (Java SE 9 & JDK 9 )
Keywords: java.awt.CompositeContext interface

## Interface CompositeContext

-     public interface CompositeContext

  The `CompositeContext` interface defines the encapsulated and optimized environment for a compositing operation. `CompositeContext` objects maintain state for compositing operations. In a multi-threaded environment, several contexts can exist simultaneously for a single `Composite` object.

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `void` | `compose​(Raster src, Raster dstIn, WritableRaster dstOut)` | Composes the two source `Raster` objects and places the result in the destination `WritableRaster`.
    `void` | `dispose​()` | Releases resources allocated for a context.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### dispose

          void dispose​()

      Releases resources allocated for a context.

    - #### compose

          void compose​(Raster src,
                       Raster dstIn,
                       WritableRaster dstOut)

      Composes the two source `Raster` objects and places the result in the destination `WritableRaster`. Note that the destination can be the same object as either the first or second source. Note that `dstIn` and `dstOut` must be compatible with the `dstColorModel` passed to the `createContext` method of the `Composite` interface.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the first source for the compositing operation
        `dstIn` - the second source for the compositing operation
        `dstOut` - the `WritableRaster` into which the result of the operation is stored
