package com.sun.prism;


A tagging interface to be implemented by any Graphics that
supports printing.


This maybe useful to know that you are printing but its initial purpose
is that it should be used to decide whether to do things like caching.


Existing code that does caching of shapes, textures
or other resources that assumes there is only ever a single
destination, and so cache an object that can only be used with
a specific graphics pipeline.


So if a Graphics is tagged with this interface, do not do cache
lookup, nor store in a cache.
