RD> any help ...would be nice :-) RD> public static final int DEFAULT_MAX_GC_OVERRIDES = 3; If you draw a new item and it requires more than 3 attributes be set on it then it creates a new group with those attributes and makes the item a child of the new group (with no attributes set). Example: If you set the fill paint you might get: <rect fill="blue" ...> Example: If you set the stroke paint and set a new Stroke object you will likely get: <g stroke="red" stroke-width="2" dash-offset="1" dash-array="1 1"> <rect ...> </g> Remember that since the Java 2D Graphics class is stateful the hope is that you will draw lots of objects with this 'large' set of new attributes.
