public class DirectColorModel** extends ColorModel

A ColorModel class that specifies a translation from pixel values to alpha, red, green, and blue color components for pixels which have the color components embedded directly in the bits of the pixel itself. This color model is similar to an X11 TrueColor visual.

Many of the methods in this class are final. This is because the underlying native graphics code makes assumptions about the layout and operation of this class and those assumptions are reflected in the implementations of the methods here that are marked final. You can subclass this class for other reaons, but you cannot override or modify the behaviour of those methods.
