/**
 * This class is used to issue draw calls to a {@link Canvas} using a buffer.
 * 
 * Each call pushes the necessary parameters onto the buffer
 * where they will be later rendered onto the image of the {@code Canvas} node
 * by the rendering thread at the end of a pulse.
 * 

 * A {@code Canvas} only contains one {@code GraphicsContext}, and only one buffer.
 * If it is not attached to any scene, then it can be modified by any thread,
 * as long as it is only used from one thread at a time. Once a {@code Canvas}
 * node is attached to a scene, it must be modified on the JavaFX Application
 * Thread.
 * 

 * Calling any method on the {@code GraphicsContext} is considered modifying
 * its corresponding {@code Canvas} and is subject to the same threading
 * rules.
 * 

 * A {@code GraphicsContext} also manages a stack of state objects that can
 * be saved or restored at anytime.
 * 

 * The {@code GraphicsContext} maintains the following rendering attributes
 * which affect various subsets of the rendering methods:
