This might be a rookie question:

When it comes to modifying and restoring a Graphics, I've seen two common patterns:
A. Call `newG = g.create()` and later `newG.dispose()`
B. Call `g.setX(newValue)` and then call `g.setX(oldValue)` later

Is there guidance on when to use which? Or is one always preferred?
