This interface allows the user of the Graphics2D SVG generator
to decide how to handle images that it renders. For example,
an implementation could decide to embed JPEG/PNG encoded images
into SVG source document using the data protocol (RFC 1521, paragraph 5.2)
Another option is to save images into JPEG/PNG files and store URI
in SVG source.
