Packages that use Transparency
java.awt	Contains all of the classes for creating user interfaces and for painting graphics and images.
java.awt.image	Provides classes for creating and modifying images.
javax.swing.plaf	Provides one interface and many abstract classes that Swing uses to provide its pluggable look-and-feel capabilities.

Uses of Transparency in java.awt

Subinterfaces of Transparency in java.awt
interface	Paint This Paint interface defines how color patterns can be generated for Graphics2D operations.

Classes in java.awt that implement Transparency
class	Color The Color class is used to encapsulate colors in the default sRGB color space or colors in arbitrary color spaces identified by a ColorSpace.
class	GradientPaint The GradientPaint class provides a way to fill a Shape with a linear color gradient pattern.
class	SystemColor A class to encapsulate symbolic colors representing the color of native GUI objects on a system.
class	TexturePaint The TexturePaint class provides a way to fill a Shape with a texture that is specified as a BufferedImage.

Uses of Transparency in java.awt.image

Classes in java.awt.image that implement Transparency
class	BufferedImage The BufferedImage subclass describes an Image with an accessible buffer of image data.
class	ColorModel The ColorModel abstract class encapsulates the methods for translating a pixel value to color components (for example, red, green, and blue) and an alpha component.
class	ComponentColorModel A ColorModel class that works with pixel values that represent color and alpha information as separate samples and that store each sample in a separate data element.
class	DirectColorModel The DirectColorModel class is a ColorModel class that works with pixel values that represent RGB color and alpha information as separate samples and that pack all samples for a single pixel into a single int, short, or byte quantity.
class	IndexColorModel The IndexColorModel class is a ColorModel class that works with pixel values consisting of a single sample that is an index into a fixed colormap in the default sRGB color space.
class	PackedColorModel The PackedColorModel class is an abstract ColorModel class that works with pixel values which represent color and alpha information as separate samples and which pack all samples for a single pixel into a single int, short, or byte quantity.
class	VolatileImage VolatileImage is an image which can lose its contents at any time due to circumstances beyond the control of the application (e.g., situations caused by the operating system or by other applications).

Uses of Transparency in javax.swing.plaf
