/**
* Contains all of the classes for creating user interfaces and for painting
* graphics and images. A user interface object such as a button or a scrollbar
* is called, in AWT terminology, a component. The Component class is the root
* of all AWT components. See Component for a detailed description of properties
* that all AWT components share.
*
* Some components fire events when a user interacts with the components. The
* AWTEvent class and its subclasses are used to represent the events that AWT
* components can fire. See AWTEvent for a description of the AWT event model.
*
* A container is a component that can contain components and other containers.
* A container can also have a layout manager that controls the visual placement
* of components in the container. The AWT package contains several layout
* manager classes and an interface for building your own layout manager. See
* Container and LayoutManager for more information.
*
* Each {@code Component} object is limited in its maximum size and its location
* because the values are stored as an integer. Also, a platform may further
* restrict maximum size and location coordinates. The exact maximum values are
* dependent on the platform. There is no way to change these maximum values,
* either in Java code or in native code. These limitations also impose
* restrictions on component layout. If the bounds of a Component object exceed
* a platform limit, there is no way to properly arrange them within a Container
* object. The object's bounds are defined by any object's coordinate in
* combination with its size on a respective axis.
