Ok. Do you know about its subclass, VolatileImageGraphics? > However, I am not sure if we need to check this really (at least as > things are now).

Yeah, I saw all the FIXMEs :) But I'd like to put the checks in anyway, even if all that happens after the check is that an UnsupportedOperationException is thrown. That way I can write Mauve tests and stuff. Cheers, Gary
