 operations performed on  BufferedImageobjects. | 
| BufferStrategy The  BufferStrategyclass represents the mechanism with which
 to organize complex memory on a particularCanvasorWindow. | 
| ColorModel The  ColorModelabstract class encapsulates the
 methods for translating a pixel value to color components

 single sample that is an index into a fixed colormap in the default
 sRGB color space. | 
| Kernel The  Kernelclass defines a matrix that describes how a
 specified pixel and its surrounding pixels affect the value
 computed for the pixel's position in the output image of a filtering
 operation. | 
| LookupTable This abstract class defines a lookup table object. | 
| PackedColorModel The  PackedColorModelclass is an abstractColorModelclass that works with pixel values which represent
 color and alpha information as separate samples and which pack all
 samples for a single pixel into a single int, short, or byte quantity. |
