+/**
+ * This class describes a strategy for managing image buffering
+ * resources on a Canvas or Window.  A given buffer strategy may make
+ * use of hardware acceleration or take advantage of features of the
+ * native graphics system.  Examples of buffering strategies are
+ * double or triple buffering using either flipping or blitting.  For
+ * the details of these algorithms see BufferCapabilities.
+ *
+ * To use a buffer strategy, you retrieve it from either the current
+ * GraphicsConfiguration or from the Component on which you'd like to
+ * draw.  Then you can query the strategy's capabilities to make sure
+ * they're suitable.
+ *
+ * If the strategy's capabilities are suitable, you can obtain a
+ * graphics object and use it to draw with this strategy.  Drawing
+ * with a buffer strategy requires extra care, however.  You'll need
+ * to manually cause the next buffer to be shown on the output device.
+ * And since buffer strategies are usually implemented with a
+ * VolatileImage, you must frequently check that the contents of the
+ * buffer are valid and that the buffer still exists.
+ *
+ * A buffer strategy is usually implemented using a VolatileImage.
+ *
+ * @see VolatileImage
+ * @since 1.4
