[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [OGL] validatePipe and antialiasing

[Chris Campbell]

Hi Clemens,

The antialiased case is handled in super.validatePipe() (in the  
SurfaceData base class), which in turn calls getMaskFill().  We  
override getMaskFill() in OGLSurfaceData so that it calls  
OGLPaints.isValid() to determine whether the given paint can be  
accelerated in the antialiased case.  If the paint can't be  
accelerated by OGL, we return null to indicate that validatePipe()  
should use a more general/slower path for rendering the paint via  
MaskBlit.  Does this help?
