#Class SkPicture

Picture records drawing commands made to Canvas. The command stream may be
played in whole or in part at a later time.

Picture is an abstract class. Picture may be generated by Picture_Recorder
or Drawable, or from Picture previously saved to Data or Stream. 

Picture may contain any Canvas drawing command, as well as one or more
Canvas_Matrix or Canvas_Clip. Picture has a cull Rect, which is used as
a bounding box hint. To limit Picture bounds, use Canvas_Clip when
recording or drawing Picture.

#Class AbortCallback
#Line # utility to stop picture playback ##

#Code
    class AbortCallback {
    public:
        AbortCallback() {}
        virtual ~AbortCallback() {}
        virtual bool abort() = 0;
    };
##

AbortCallback is an abstract class. An implementation of AbortCallback may
passed as a parameter to SkPicture::playback, to stop it before all drawing
commands have been processed.

If AbortCallback::abort returns true, SkPicture::playback is interrupted.

#Method AbortCallback()

#Line # defines default constructor ##

#Return abstract class cannot be instantiated ##

#Method virtual bool abort() = 0
#In Utility
#Line # aborts playback by callback ##

Stops Picture playback when some condition is met. A subclass of
AbortCallback provides an override for abort() that can stop SkPicture::playback.

The part of Picture drawn when aborted is undefined. Picture instantiations are
free to stop drawing at different points during playback.

If the abort happens inside one or more calls to SkCanvas::save(), stack
of Canvas_Matrix and Canvas_Clip values is restored to its state before
SkPicture::playback was called.

#Description
JustOneDraw allows the black rectangle to draw but stops playback before the
white rectangle appears.

#Line # replays drawing commands on canvas ##

Replays the drawing commands on the specified canvas. In the case that the
commands are recorded, each command in the Picture is sent separately to canvas.

To add a single command to draw Picture to recording canvas, call
SkCanvas::drawPicture instead.

#Param canvas  receiver of drawing commands ##

of Picture bounds.

Picture is free to discard recorded drawing commands that fall outside 
cull.

#Description
Picture recorded bounds are smaller than contents; contents outside recorded
bounds may be drawn, and are drawn in this example.
