/**
 * <p>
 * A {@code Graphics2D} implementation that creates SVG output.  After 
 * rendering the graphics via the {@code SVGGraphics2D}, you can retrieve
 * an SVG element (see {@link #getSVGElement()}) or an SVG document (see 
 * {@link #getSVGDocument()}) containing your content.
 * </p>
 * <b>Usage</b><br>
 * <p>
 * Using the {@code SVGGraphics2D} class is straightforward.  First, 
 * create an instance specifying the height and width of the SVG element that 
 * will be created.  Then, use standard Java2D API calls to draw content 
 * into the element.  Finally, retrieve the SVG element that has been 
 * accumulated.  For example:
 * </p>
 * <pre>{@code SVGGraphics2D g2 = new SVGGraphics2D(300, 200);
 * g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
 * g2.draw(new Rectangle(10, 10, 280, 180));
 * String svgElement = g2.getSVGElement();}</pre>
 * <p>
 * For the content generation step, you can make use of third party libraries,
 * such as <a href="http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/">JFreeChart</a> and
 * <a href="http://www.object-refinery.com/orsoncharts/">Orson Charts</a>, that 
 * render output using standard Java2D API calls.
 * </p>
 * <b>Rendering Hints</b><br>
 * <p>
 * The {@code SVGGraphics2D} supports a couple of custom rendering hints -  
 * for details, refer to the {@link SVGHints} class documentation.  Also see
 * the examples in this blog post: 
 * <a href="http://www.object-refinery.com/blog/blog-20140509.html">
 * Orson Charts 3D / Enhanced SVG Export</a>.
 * </p>
 * <b>Other Notes</b><br>
 * Some additional notes:
 * <ul>
 * <li>by default, JFreeSVG uses a fast conversion of numerical values to
 * strings for the SVG output (the 'RyuDouble' implementation).  If you
 * prefer a different approach (for example, controlling the number of
 * decimal places in the output to reduce the file size) you can set your
 * own functions for converting numerical values - see the
 * {@link #setGeomDoubleConverter(DoubleFunction)} and
 * {@link #setTransformDoubleConverter(DoubleFunction)} methods.</li>
 *
 * <li>the {@link #getFontMetrics(java.awt.Font)} and
 * {@link #getFontRenderContext()} methods return values that come from an 
 * internal {@code BufferedImage}, this is a short-cut and we don't know
 * if there are any negative consequences (if you know of any, please let us
 * know and we'll add the info here or find a way to fix it);</li>
 *
 * <li>Images are supported, but for methods with an {@code ImageObserver}
 * parameter note that the observer is ignored completely.  In any case, using
 * images that are not fully loaded already would not be a good idea in the
 * context of generating SVG data/files;</li>
 *
 * <li>when an HTML page contains multiple SVG elements, the items within
 * the DEFS element for each SVG element must have IDs that are unique across 
 * <em>all</em> SVG elements in the page.  JFreeSVG auto-populates the
 * {@code defsKeyPrefix} attribute to help ensure that unique IDs are 
 * generated.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>
 * For some demos showing how to use this class, look at the JFree-Demos project
 * at GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/jfree/jfree-demos">https://github.com/jfree/jfree-demos</a>.
