## Interface CompositeContext

-     public interface CompositeContext

  The `CompositeContext` interface defines the encapsulated and optimized environment for a compositing operation. `CompositeContext` objects maintain state for compositing operations. In a multi-threaded environment, several contexts can exist simultaneously for a single `Composite` object.

    `Composite`

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `compose(Raster src, Raster dstIn, WritableRaster dstOut)` Composes the two source `Raster` objects and places the result in the destination `WritableRaster`.
    `void` | `dispose()` Releases resources allocated for a context.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### dispose

          void dispose()

      Releases resources allocated for a context.

    - #### compose

          void compose(Raster src,
                       Raster dstIn,
                       WritableRaster dstOut)

      Composes the two source `Raster` objects and places the result in the destination `WritableRaster`. Note that the destination can be the same object as either the first or second source. Note that `dstIn` and `dstOut` must be compatible with the `dstColorModel` passed to the `createContext` method of the `Composite` interface.
      Parameters:
        `src` - the first source for the compositing operation
        `dstIn` - the second source for the compositing operation
        `dstOut` - the `WritableRaster` into which the result of the operation is stored
      See Also:
        `Composite`
