/**
 * The <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> class describes the
 * characteristics of a graphics destination such as a printer or monitor.
 * There can be many <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> objects associated
 * with a single graphics device, representing different drawing modes or
 * capabilities.  The corresponding native structure will vary from platform
 * to platform.  For example, on X11 windowing systems,
 * each visual is a different <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code>.
 * On Microsoft Windows, <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code>s represent
 * PixelFormats available in the current resolution and color depth.
 * <p>
 * In a virtual device multi-screen environment in which the desktop
 * area could span multiple physical screen devices, the bounds of the
 * <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> objects are relative to the
 * virtual coordinate system.  When setting the location of a
 * component, use {@link #getBounds() getBounds} to get the bounds of
 * the desired <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> and offset the location
 * with the coordinates of the <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code>,
 * as the following code sample illustrates:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *      Frame f = new Frame(gc);  // where gc is a GraphicsConfiguration
 *      Rectangle bounds = gc.getBounds();
 *      f.setLocation(10 + bounds.x, 10 + bounds.y); </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * To determine if your environment is a virtual device
 * environment, call <code>getBounds</code> on all of the
 * <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> objects in your system.  If
 * any of the origins of the returned bounds is not (0,&nbsp;0),
 * your environment is a virtual device environment.
 *
 * <p>
 * You can also use <code>getBounds</code> to determine the bounds
 * of the virtual device.  To do this, first call <code>getBounds</code> on all
 * of the <code>GraphicsConfiguration</code> objects in your
 * system.  Then calculate the union of all of the bounds returned
 * from the calls to <code>getBounds</code>.  The union is the
 * bounds of the virtual device.  The following code sample
 * calculates the bounds of the virtual device.
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 *      Rectangle virtualBounds = new Rectangle();
 *      GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.
 *              getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
 *      GraphicsDevice[] gs =
 *              ge.getScreenDevices();
 *      for (int j = 0; j < gs.length; j++) {
 *          GraphicsDevice gd = gs[j];
 *          GraphicsConfiguration[] gc =
 *              gd.getConfigurations();
 *          for (int i=0; i < gc.length; i++) {
 *              virtualBounds =
 *                  virtualBounds.union(gc[i].getBounds());
 *          }
 *      } }</pre>
