Class RefImage

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.Image
          java.awt.image.BufferedImage
              com.sun.pdfview.RefImage

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.awt.image.RenderedImage, java.awt.image.WritableRenderedImage, java.awt.Transparency

    public class RefImage

extends java.awt.image.BufferedImage

A BufferedImage subclass that holds a strong reference to its graphics object. This means that the graphics will never go away as long as someone holds a reference to this image, and createGraphics() and getGraphics() can be called multiple times safely, and will always return the same graphics object.
