compose

void compose(Raster src,
             Raster dstIn,
             WritableRaster dstOut)
Composes the two source Raster objects and places the result in the destination WritableRaster. Note that the destination can be the same object as either the first or second source. Note that dstIn and dstOut must be compatible with the dstColorModel passed to the createContext method of the Composite interface.

Parameters:
src - the first source for the compositing operation
dstIn - the second source for the compositing operation
dstOut - the WritableRaster into which the result of the operation is stored
