/**
 * The abstract base class for all delegates that provide the
 * pluggable look and feel for Swing components. User applications
 * should not need to access this class; it is internal to Swing
 * and the look-and-feel implementations.
 *
 * <p><img src="doc-files/ComponentUI-1.png" width="700" height="550"
 * alt="[UML diagram illustrating the architecture for pluggable
 * look and feels]" />
 *
 * <p>Components such as {@link javax.swing.JSlider} do not directly
 * implement operations related to the look and feel of the user
 * interface, such as painting or layout. Instead, they use a delegate
 * object for all such tasks. In the case of <code>JSlider</code>, the
 * user interface would be provided by some concrete subclass of
 * {@link javax.swing.plaf.SliderUI}.
 *
 * <p>Soon after its creation, a <code>ComponentUI</code> will be sent
 * an {@link #installUI} message. The <code>ComponentUI</code> will
 * react by setting properties such as the border or the background
 * color of the <code>JComponent</code> for which it provides its
 * services. Soon before the end of its lifecycle, the
 * <code>ComponentUI</code> will receive an {@link #uninstallUI}
 * message, at which time the <code>ComponentUI</code> is expected to
 * undo any changes.
 *
 * <p>Note that the <code>ui</code> of a <code>JComponent</code>
 * changes whenever the user switches between look and feels.  For
 * example, the <code>ui</code> property of a <code>JSlider</code>
 * could change from an instance of <code>MetalSliderUI</code> to an
 * instance of <code>FooSliderUI</code>. This switch can happen at any
 * time, but it will always be performed from inside the Swing thread.
