/**
 * The <code>AlphaComposite</code> class implements basic alpha
 * compositing rules for combining source and destination colors
 * to achieve blending and transparency effects with graphics and
 * images.
 * The specific rules implemented by this class are the basic set
 * of 12 rules described in
 * T. Porter and T. Duff, "Compositing Digital Images", SIGGRAPH 84,
 * 253-259.
 * The rest of this documentation assumes some familiarity with the
 * definitions and concepts outlined in that paper.
 *
 * <p>
 * This class extends the standard equations defined by Porter and
 * Duff to include one additional factor.
 * An instance of the <code>AlphaComposite</code> class can contain
 * an alpha value that is used to modify the opacity or coverage of
 * every source pixel before it is used in the blending equations.
 *
 * <p>
 * It is important to note that the equations defined by the Porter
 * and Duff paper are all defined to operate on color components
 * that are premultiplied by their corresponding alpha components.
 * Since the <code>ColorModel</code> and <code>Raster</code> classes
 * allow the storage of pixel data in either premultiplied or
 * non-premultiplied form, all input data must be normalized into
 * premultiplied form before applying the equations and all results
 * might need to be adjusted back to the form required by the destination
 * before the pixel values are stored.
 *
 * <p>
 * Also note that this class defines only the equations
 * for combining color and alpha values in a purely mathematical
 * sense. The accurate application of its equations depends
 * on the way the data is retrieved from its sources and stored
 * in its destinations.
 * See <a href="#caveats">Implementation Caveats</a>
 * for further information.
 *
 * <p>
 * The following factors are used in the description of the blending
 * equation in the Porter and Duff paper:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <table summary="layout">
 * <tr><th align=left>Factor&nbsp;&nbsp;<th align=left>Definition
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>s</sub></em><td>the alpha component of the source pixel
 * <tr><td><em>C<sub>s</sub></em><td>a color component of the source pixel in premultiplied form
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>d</sub></em><td>the alpha component of the destination pixel
 * <tr><td><em>C<sub>d</sub></em><td>a color component of the destination pixel in premultiplied form
 * <tr><td><em>F<sub>s</sub></em><td>the fraction of the source pixel that contributes to the output
 * <tr><td><em>F<sub>d</sub></em><td>the fraction of the destination pixel that contributes
 * to the output
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>r</sub></em><td>the alpha component of the result
 * <tr><td><em>C<sub>r</sub></em><td>a color component of the result in premultiplied form
 * </table>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * Using these factors, Porter and Duff define 12 ways of choosing
 * the blending factors <em>F<sub>s</sub></em> and <em>F<sub>d</sub></em> to
 * produce each of 12 desirable visual effects.
 * The equations for determining <em>F<sub>s</sub></em> and <em>F<sub>d</sub></em>
 * are given in the descriptions of the 12 static fields
 * that specify visual effects.
 * For example,
 * the description for
 * <a href="#SRC_OVER"><code>SRC_OVER</code></a>
 * specifies that <em>F<sub>s</sub></em> = 1 and <em>F<sub>d</sub></em> = (1-<em>A<sub>s</sub></em>).
 * Once a set of equations for determining the blending factors is
 * known they can then be applied to each pixel to produce a result
 * using the following set of equations:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      <em>F<sub>s</sub></em> = <em>f</em>(<em>A<sub>d</sub></em>)
 *      <em>F<sub>d</sub></em> = <em>f</em>(<em>A<sub>s</sub></em>)
 *      <em>A<sub>r</sub></em> = <em>A<sub>s</sub></em>*<em>F<sub>s</sub></em> + <em>A<sub>d</sub></em>*<em>F<sub>d</sub></em>
 *      <em>C<sub>r</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>s</sub></em>*<em>F<sub>s</sub></em> + <em>C<sub>d</sub></em>*<em>F<sub>d</sub></em></pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * The following factors will be used to discuss our extensions to
 * the blending equation in the Porter and Duff paper:
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <table summary="layout">
 * <tr><th align=left>Factor&nbsp;&nbsp;<th align=left>Definition
 * <tr><td><em>C<sub>sr</sub></em> <td>one of the raw color components of the source pixel
 * <tr><td><em>C<sub>dr</sub></em> <td>one of the raw color components of the destination pixel
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>ac</sub></em>  <td>the "extra" alpha component from the AlphaComposite instance
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>sr</sub></em> <td>the raw alpha component of the source pixel
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>dr</sub></em><td>the raw alpha component of the destination pixel
 * <tr><td><em>A<sub>df</sub></em> <td>the final alpha component stored in the destination
 * <tr><td><em>C<sub>df</sub></em> <td>the final raw color component stored in the destination
 * </table>
 *</blockquote>
 *
 * <h3>Preparing Inputs</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * The <code>AlphaComposite</code> class defines an additional alpha
 * value that is applied to the source alpha.
 * This value is applied as if an implicit SRC_IN rule were first
 * applied to the source pixel against a pixel with the indicated
 * alpha by multiplying both the raw source alpha and the raw
 * source colors by the alpha in the <code>AlphaComposite</code>.
 * This leads to the following equation for producing the alpha
 * used in the Porter and Duff blending equation:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      <em>A<sub>s</sub></em> = <em>A<sub>sr</sub></em> * <em>A<sub>ac</sub></em> </pre>
 *
 * All of the raw source color components need to be multiplied
 * by the alpha in the <code>AlphaComposite</code> instance.
 * Additionally, if the source was not in premultiplied form
 * then the color components also need to be multiplied by the
 * source alpha.
 * Thus, the equation for producing the source color components
 * for the Porter and Duff equation depends on whether the source
 * pixels are premultiplied or not:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      <em>C<sub>s</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>sr</sub></em> * <em>A<sub>sr</sub></em> * <em>A<sub>ac</sub></em>     (if source is not premultiplied)
 *      <em>C<sub>s</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>sr</sub></em> * <em>A<sub>ac</sub></em>           (if source is premultiplied) </pre>
 *
 * No adjustment needs to be made to the destination alpha:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      <em>A<sub>d</sub></em> = <em>A<sub>dr</sub></em> </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * The destination color components need to be adjusted only if
 * they are not in premultiplied form:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      <em>C<sub>d</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>dr</sub></em> * <em>A<sub>d</sub></em>    (if destination is not premultiplied)
 *      <em>C<sub>d</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>dr</sub></em>         (if destination is premultiplied) </pre>
 *
 * <h3>Applying the Blending Equation</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * The adjusted <em>A<sub>s</sub></em>, <em>A<sub>d</sub></em>,
 * <em>C<sub>s</sub></em>, and <em>C<sub>d</sub></em> are used in the standard
 * Porter and Duff equations to calculate the blending factors
 * <em>F<sub>s</sub></em> and <em>F<sub>d</sub></em> and then the resulting
 * premultiplied components <em>A<sub>r</sub></em> and <em>C<sub>r</sub></em>.
 *
 * <h3>Preparing Results</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * The results only need to be adjusted if they are to be stored
 * back into a destination buffer that holds data that is not
 * premultiplied, using the following equations:
 *
 * <pre>
 *      <em>A<sub>df</sub></em> = <em>A<sub>r</sub></em>
 *      <em>C<sub>df</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>r</sub></em>                 (if dest is premultiplied)
 *      <em>C<sub>df</sub></em> = <em>C<sub>r</sub></em> / <em>A<sub>r</sub></em>            (if dest is not premultiplied) </pre>
 *
 * Note that since the division is undefined if the resulting alpha
 * is zero, the division in that case is omitted to avoid the "divide
 * by zero" and the color components are left as
 * all zeros.
 *
 * <h3>Performance Considerations</h3>
 *
 * <p>
 * For performance reasons, it is preferable that
 * <code>Raster</code> objects passed to the <code>compose</code>
 * method of a {@link CompositeContext} object created by the
 * <code>AlphaComposite</code> class have premultiplied data.
 * If either the source <code>Raster</code>
 * or the destination <code>Raster</code>
 * is not premultiplied, however,
 * appropriate conversions are performed before and after the compositing
 * operation.
 *
 * <h3><a name="caveats">Implementation Caveats</a></h3>
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * Many sources, such as some of the opaque image types listed
 * in the <code>BufferedImage</code> class, do not store alpha values
 * for their pixels.  Such sources supply an alpha of 1.0 for
 * all of their pixels.
 *
 * <li>
 * Many destinations also have no place to store the alpha values
 * that result from the blending calculations performed by this class.
 * Such destinations thus implicitly discard the resulting
 * alpha values that this class produces.
 * It is recommended that such destinations should treat their stored
 * color values as non-premultiplied and divide the resulting color
 * values by the resulting alpha value before storing the color
 * values and discarding the alpha value.
 *
 * <li>
 * The accuracy of the results depends on the manner in which pixels
 * are stored in the destination.
 * An image format that provides at least 8 bits of storage per color
 * and alpha component is at least adequate for use as a destination
 * for a sequence of a few to a dozen compositing operations.
 * An image format with fewer than 8 bits of storage per component
 * is of limited use for just one or two compositing operations
 * before the rounding errors dominate the results.
 * An image format
 * that does not separately store
 * color components is not a
 * good candidate for any type of translucent blending.
 * For example, <code>BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED</code>
 * should not be used as a destination for a blending operation
 * because every operation
 * can introduce large errors, due to
 * the need to choose a pixel from a limited palette to match the
 * results of the blending equations.
 *
 * <li>
 * Nearly all formats store pixels as discrete integers rather than
 * the floating point values used in the reference equations above.
 * The implementation can either scale the integer pixel
 * values into floating point values in the range 0.0 to 1.0 or
 * use slightly modified versions of the equations
 * that operate entirely in the integer domain and yet produce
 * analogous results to the reference equations.
 *
 * <p>
 * Typically the integer values are related to the floating point
 * values in such a way that the integer 0 is equated
 * to the floating point value 0.0 and the integer
 * 2^<em>n</em>-1 (where <em>n</em> is the number of bits
 * in the representation) is equated to 1.0.
 * For 8-bit representations, this means that 0x00
 * represents 0.0 and 0xff represents
 * 1.0.
 *
 * <li>
 * The internal implementation can approximate some of the equations
 * and it can also eliminate some steps to avoid unnecessary operations.
 * For example, consider a discrete integer image with non-premultiplied
 * alpha values that uses 8 bits per component for storage.
 * The stored values for a
 * nearly transparent darkened red might be:
 *
 * <pre>
 *    (A, R, G, B) = (0x01, 0xb0, 0x00, 0x00)</pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * If integer math were being used and this value were being
 * composited in
 * <a href="#SRC"><code>SRC</code></a>
 * mode with no extra alpha, then the math would
 * indicate that the results were (in integer format):
 *
 * <pre>
 *    (A, R, G, B) = (0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00)</pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that the intermediate values, which are always in premultiplied
 * form, would only allow the integer red component to be either 0x00
 * or 0x01.  When we try to store this result back into a destination
 * that is not premultiplied, dividing out the alpha will give us
 * very few choices for the non-premultiplied red value.
 * In this case an implementation that performs the math in integer
 * space without shortcuts is likely to end up with the final pixel
 * values of:
 *
 * <pre>
 *    (A, R, G, B) = (0x01, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00)</pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * (Note that 0x01 divided by 0x01 gives you 1.0, which is equivalent
 * to the value 0xff in an 8-bit storage format.)
 *
 * <p>
 * Alternately, an implementation that uses floating point math
 * might produce more accurate results and end up returning to the
 * original pixel value with little, if any, roundoff error.
 * Or, an implementation using integer math might decide that since
 * the equations boil down to a virtual NOP on the color values
 * if performed in a floating point space, it can transfer the
 * pixel untouched to the destination and avoid all the math entirely.
 *
 * <p>
 * These implementations all attempt to honor the
 * same equations, but use different tradeoffs of integer and
 * floating point math and reduced or full equations.
 * To account for such differences, it is probably best to
 * expect only that the premultiplied form of the results to
 * match between implementations and image formats.  In this
 * case both answers, expressed in premultiplied form would
 * equate to:
 *
 * <pre>
 *    (A, R, G, B) = (0x01, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00)</pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * and thus they would all match.
 *
 * <li>
 * Because of the technique of simplifying the equations for
 * calculation efficiency, some implementations might perform
 * differently when encountering result alpha values of 0.0
 * on a non-premultiplied destination.
 * Note that the simplification of removing the divide by alpha
 * in the case of the SRC rule is technically not valid if the
 * denominator (alpha) is 0.
 * But, since the results should only be expected to be accurate
 * when viewed in premultiplied form, a resulting alpha of 0
 * essentially renders the resulting color components irrelevant
 * and so exact behavior in this case should not be expected.
