IMO if it takes too long to draw a chart it needs to be cached in
an image (VolatileImage, for example).
That is an option that is provided in JFreeChart, and so we'll modify
our code to *not* use XOR in that case. But XOR saves us from having
to allocate that Image for cases where the chart repaint time is
somewhere in between "real fast" and "real slow". [It perhaps reflects
my age that I even care about conserving memory!]
As I mentioned, I was joking.
Yeah, I did spot that.
However, so far I have seen very few examples where the use of Xor
paint mode is required.
So deprecate it. I'll miss it, but only a little.
