## java.awt
Class Component.BltBufferStrategy

    java.lang.Object
      java.awt.image.BufferStrategy
          java.awt.Component.BltBufferStrategy

Enclosing class:
  Component

protected class Component.BltBufferStrategy
extends BufferStrategy

Inner class for blitting offscreen surfaces to a component.

Since:
  1.4

Field Summary
`protected VolatileImage[]` | `backBuffers` The back buffers
`protected BufferCapabilities` | `caps` The buffering capabilities
`protected int` | `height`
`protected boolean` | `validatedContents` Whether or not the drawing buffer has been recently restored from a lost state.
`protected int` | `width` Size of the back buffers

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `Component.BltBufferStrategy(int numBuffers, BufferCapabilities caps)` Creates a new blt buffer strategy around a component

Method Summary
`boolean` | `contentsLost()` Returns whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to `getDrawGraphics`.
`boolean` | `contentsRestored()` Returns whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white).
`protected void` | `createBackBuffers(int numBuffers)` Creates the back buffers
`BufferCapabilities` | `getCapabilities()`
`Graphics` | `getDrawGraphics()`
`protected void` | `revalidate()` Restore the drawing buffer if it has been lost
`void` | `show()` Makes the next available buffer visible.

Field Detail

### caps

    protected BufferCapabilities caps

  The buffering capabilities

### backBuffers

    protected VolatileImage[] backBuffers

  The back buffers

### validatedContents

    protected boolean validatedContents

  Whether or not the drawing buffer has been recently restored from a lost state.

### width

    protected int width

  Size of the back buffers

### height

    protected int height

Constructor Detail

### Component.BltBufferStrategy

    protected Component.BltBufferStrategy(int numBuffers,
                                          BufferCapabilities caps)

  Creates a new blt buffer strategy around a component

Parameters:
  `numBuffers` - the component to use as the front buffer
  `caps` - the capabilities of the buffers

Method Detail

### createBackBuffers

    protected void createBackBuffers(int numBuffers)

  Creates the back buffers

### getCapabilities

    public BufferCapabilities getCapabilities()

  Specified by:
    `getCapabilities` in class `BufferStrategy`
  Returns:
    the buffering capabilities of this strategy

### getDrawGraphics

    public Graphics getDrawGraphics()

  Specified by:
    `getDrawGraphics` in class `BufferStrategy`
  Returns:
    the draw graphics

### show

    public void show()

  Makes the next available buffer visible.

  Specified by:
    `show` in class `BufferStrategy`

### revalidate

    protected void revalidate()

  Restore the drawing buffer if it has been lost

### contentsLost

    public boolean contentsLost()

  Description copied from class: `BufferStrategy`
  Returns whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to `getDrawGraphics`. Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually type `VolatileImage`, they may become lost. For a discussion on lost buffers, see `VolatileImage`.

  Specified by:
    `contentsLost` in class `BufferStrategy`
  Returns:
    whether the drawing buffer was lost since the last call to `getDrawGraphics`
  See Also:
    `VolatileImage`

### contentsRestored

    public boolean contentsRestored()

  Description copied from class: `BufferStrategy`
  Returns whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white). Since the buffers in a buffer strategy are usually type `VolatileImage`, they may become lost. If a surface has been recently restored from a lost state since the last call to `getDrawGraphics`, it may require repainting. For a discussion on lost buffers, see `VolatileImage`.

  Specified by:
    `contentsRestored` in class `BufferStrategy`
  Returns:
    whether the drawing buffer was recently restored from a lost state and reinitialized to the default background color (white)
  See Also:
    `VolatileImage`
