 * 
 * @author Marty Stepp and Stuart Reges, University of Washington
 * @version 2016/03/07 (BJP 4th edition)
 * 
 * <p>
 * The DrawingPanel class provides a simple interface for drawing persistent
 * images using a Graphics object.  An internal BufferedImage object is used
 * to keep track of what has been drawn.  A client of the class simply
 * constructs a DrawingPanel of a particular size and then draws on it with
 * the Graphics object, setting the background color if they so choose.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The intention is that this custom library will mostly "stay out of the way"
 * so that the client mostly interacts with a standard Java java.awt.Graphics
 * object, and therefore most of the experience gained while using this library
 * will transfer to Java graphics programming in other contexts.
 * DrawingPanel is not intended to be a full rich graphical library for things
 * like object-oriented drawing of shapes, animations, creating games, etc.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Example usage:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * DrawingPanel panel = new DrawingPanel(600, 400);
 * Graphics g = panel.getGraphics();
 * g.setColor(Color.RED);
 * g.fillRect(17, 45, 139, 241);
 * ...
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * To ensure that the image is always displayed, a timer calls repaint at
 * regular intervals.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This version of DrawingPanel also saves animated GIFs, though this is kind
 * of hit-and-miss because animated GIFs are pretty sucky (256 color limit, large
 * file size, etc).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * History and recent changes:
 * </p>
 * 
 * 2015/09/04
 * - Now includes methods for get/setting individual pixels and all pixels on the
 *   drawing panel.  This helps facilitate 2D array-based pixel-processing
 *   exercises and problems for Building Java Programs, 4th edition.
 * - Code cleanup and reorganization.
 *   Now better alphabetization/formatting of members and encapsulation.
 *   Commenting also augmented throughout code.
 * <p>
 * 
 * 2015/04/09
 * - Now includes a DebuggingGraphics inner class that keeps track of how many
 *   times various drawing methods are called.  It includes a showCounts method
 *   for the DrawingPanel itself that allows a client to examine this.  The
 *   panel will record basic drawing methods performed by a version of the
 *   Graphics class obtained by calling getDebugging Graphics:
 * 
 *   Graphics g = panel.getDebuggingGraphics();
 * 
 *   Novices will be encouraged to simply print it at the end of main, as in:
 * 
 *   System.out.println(panel.getCounts());
 * 
 *   All additions are commented (search for "DebuggingGraphics")
 * <p>
 * 
 * 2011/10/25
 * - save zoomed images (2011/10/25)
 * <p>
 * 
 * 2011/10/21
 * - window no longer moves when zoom changes
 * - grid lines

    /**
     * This is the central class of a JDK 1.1 compatible GIF encoder that,
     * AFAIK, supports more features of the extended GIF spec than any other
     * Java open source encoder. Some sections of the source are lifted or
     * adapted from Jef Poskanzer's <cite>Acme GifEncoder</cite> (so please see
     * the <a href="../readme.txt">readme</a> containing his notice), but much
     * of it, including nearly all of the present class, is original code. My
     * main motivation for writing a new encoder was to support animated GIFs,
     * but the package also adds support for embedded textual comments.
     * <p>
     * There are still some limitations. For instance, animations are limited to
     * a single global color table. But that is usually what you want anyway, so
     * as to avoid irregularities on some displays. (So this is not really a
     * limitation, but a "disciplinary feature" :) Another rather more serious
     * restriction is that the total number of RGB colors in a given input-batch
     * mustn't exceed 256. Obviously, there is an opening here for someone who
     * would like to add a color-reducing preprocessor.
     * <p>
     * The encoder, though very usable in its present form, is at bottom only a
     * partial implementation skewed toward my own particular needs. Hence a
     * couple of caveats are in order. (1) During development it was in the back
     * of my mind that an encoder object should be reusable - i.e., you should
     * be able to make multiple calls to encode() on the same object, with or
     * without intervening frame additions or changes to options. But I haven't
     * reviewed the code with such usage in mind, much less tested it, so it's
     * likely I overlooked something. (2) The encoder classes aren't thread
     * safe, so use caution in a context where access is shared by multiple
     * threads. (Better yet, finish the library and re-release it :)
     * <p>
     * There follow a couple of simple examples illustrating the most common way
     * to use the encoder, i.e., to encode AWT Image objects created elsewhere
     * in the program. Use of some of the most popular format options is also
     * shown, though you will want to peruse the API for additional features.
     *

    /**
     * First off, just to dispel any doubt, this class and its subclasses have
     * nothing to do with GUI "frames" such as java.awt.Frame. We merely use the
     * term in its very common sense of a still picture in an animation
     * sequence. It's hoped that the restricted context will prevent any
     * confusion.
     * <p>
     * An instance of this class is used in conjunction with a Gif89Encoder
     * object to represent and encode a single static image and its associated
     * "control" data. A Gif89Frame doesn't know or care whether it is encoding
     * one of the many animation frames in a GIF movie, or the single bitmap in
     * a "normal" GIF. (FYI, this design mirrors the encoded GIF structure.)
     * <p>
     * Since Gif89Frame is an abstract class we don't instantiate it directly,
     * but instead create instances of its concrete subclasses, IndexGif89Frame
     * and DirectGif89Frame. From the API standpoint, these subclasses differ
     * only in the sort of data their instances are constructed from. Most folks
     * will probably work with DirectGif89Frame, since it can be constructed
     * from a java.awt.Image object, but the lower-level IndexGif89Frame class
     * offers advantages in specialized circumstances. (Of course, in routine
     * situations you might not explicitly instantiate any frames at all,
     * instead letting Gif89Encoder's convenience methods do the honors.)
     * <p>
     * As far as the public API is concerned, objects in the Gif89Frame
     * hierarchy interact with a Gif89Encoder only via the latter's methods for
     * adding and querying frames. (As a side note, you should know that while
     * Gif89Encoder objects are permanently modified by the addition of
     * Gif89Frames, the reverse is NOT true. That is, even though the ultimate
     * encoding of a Gif89Frame may be affected by the context its parent
     * encoder object provides, it retains its original condition and can be
     * reused in a different context.)
     * <p>
     * The core pixel-encoding code in this class was essentially lifted from
     * Jef Poskanzer's well-known <cite>Acme GifEncoder</cite>, so please see
     * the <a href="../readme.txt">readme</a> containing his notice.
