/**
 * A <code>GlyphVector</code> object is a collection of glyphs
 * containing geometric information for the placement of each glyph
 * in a transformed coordinate space which corresponds to the
 * device on which the <code>GlyphVector</code> is ultimately
 * displayed.
 * <p>
 * The <code>GlyphVector</code> does not attempt any interpretation of
 * the sequence of glyphs it contains.  Relationships between adjacent
 * glyphs in sequence are solely used to determine the placement of
 * the glyphs in the visual coordinate space.
 * <p>
 * Instances of <code>GlyphVector</code> are created by a {@link Font}.
 * <p>
 * In a text processing application that can cache intermediate
 * representations of text, creation and subsequent caching of a
 * <code>GlyphVector</code> for use during rendering is the fastest
 * method to present the visual representation of characters to a user.
 * <p>
 * A <code>GlyphVector</code> is associated with exactly one
 * <code>Font</code>, and can provide data useful only in relation to
 * this <code>Font</code>.  In addition, metrics obtained from a
 * <code>GlyphVector</code> are not generally geometrically scaleable
 * since the pixelization and spacing are dependent on grid-fitting
 * algorithms within a <code>Font</code>.  To facilitate accurate
 * measurement of a <code>GlyphVector</code> and its component
 * glyphs, you must specify a scaling transform, anti-alias mode, and
 * fractional metrics mode when creating the <code>GlyphVector</code>.
 * These characteristics can be derived from the destination device.
 * <p>
 * For each glyph in the <code>GlyphVector</code>, you can obtain:
 * <ul>
 * <li>the position of the glyph
 * <li>the transform associated with the glyph
 * <li>the metrics of the glyph in the context of the
 *   <code>GlyphVector</code>.  The metrics of the glyph may be
 *   different under different transforms, application specified
 *   rendering hints, and the specific instance of the glyph within
 *   the <code>GlyphVector</code>.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Altering the data used to create the <code>GlyphVector</code> does not
 * alter the state of the <code>GlyphVector</code>.
 * <p>
 * Methods are provided to adjust the positions of the glyphs
 * within the <code>GlyphVector</code>.  These methods are most
 * appropriate for applications that are performing justification
 * operations for the presentation of the glyphs.
 * <p>
 * Methods are provided to transform individual glyphs within the
 * <code>GlyphVector</code>.  These methods are primarily useful for
 * special effects.
 * <p>
 * Methods are provided to return both the visual, logical, and pixel bounds
 * of the entire <code>GlyphVector</code> or of individual glyphs within
 * the <code>GlyphVector</code>.
 * <p>
 * Methods are provided to return a {@link Shape} for the
 * <code>GlyphVector</code>, and for individual glyphs within the
 * <code>GlyphVector</code>.
