  31 /**
  32  * A <code>ParameterBlock</code> encapsulates all the information about sources and
  33  * parameters (Objects) required by a RenderableImageOp, or other
  34  * classes that process images.
  35  *
  36  * <p> Although it is possible to place arbitrary objects in the
  37  * source Vector, users of this class may impose semantic constraints
  38  * such as requiring all sources to be RenderedImages or
  39  * RenderableImage.  <code>ParameterBlock</code> itself is merely a container and
  40  * performs no checking on source or parameter types.
  41  *
  42  * <p> All parameters in a <code>ParameterBlock</code> are objects; convenience
  43  * add and set methods are available that take arguments of base type and
  44  * construct the appropriate subclass of Number (such as
  45  * Integer or Float).  Corresponding get methods perform a
  46  * downward cast and have return values of base type; an exception
  47  * will be thrown if the stored values do not have the correct type.
  48  * There is no way to distinguish between the results of
  49  * "short s; add(s)" and "add(new Short(s))".
  50  *
  51  * <p> Note that the get and set methods operate on references.
  52  * Therefore, one must be careful not to share references between
  53  * <code>ParameterBlock</code>s when this is inappropriate.  For example, to create
  54  * a new <code>ParameterBlock</code> that is equal to an old one except for an
  55  * added source, one might be tempted to write:
  56  *
  57  * <pre>
  58  * ParameterBlock addSource(ParameterBlock pb, RenderableImage im) {
  59  *     ParameterBlock pb1 = new ParameterBlock(pb.getSources());
  60  *     pb1.addSource(im);
  61  *     return pb1;
  62  * }
  63  * </pre>
  64  *
  65  * <p> This code will have the side effect of altering the original
  66  * <code>ParameterBlock</code>, since the getSources operation returned a reference
  67  * to its source Vector.  Both pb and pb1 share their source Vector,
  68  * and a change in either is visible to both.
  69  *
  70  * <p> A correct way to write the addSource function is to clone
  71  * the source Vector:
  72  *
  73  * <pre>
  74  * ParameterBlock addSource (ParameterBlock pb, RenderableImage im) {
  75  *     ParameterBlock pb1 = new ParameterBlock(pb.getSources().clone());
  76  *     pb1.addSource(im);
  77  *     return pb1;
  78  * }
  79  * </pre>
  80  *
  81  * <p> The clone method of <code>ParameterBlock</code> has been defined to
  82  * perform a clone of both the source and parameter Vectors for
  83  * this reason.  A standard, shallow clone is available as
  84  * shallowClone.
  85  *
  86  * <p> The addSource, setSource, add, and set methods are
  87  * defined to return 'this' after adding their argument.  This allows
  88  * use of syntax like:
  89  *
  90  * <pre>
  91  * ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
  92  * op = new RenderableImageOp("operation", pb.add(arg1).add(arg2));
  93  * </pre>
