the documentation of the
java.awt.image.MemoryImageSource class, does
not fully explain what its input is.
It does not explicitly state what the expected
format of each int in the array is supposed to
be. The code implies it, but an exact
specification should be given.

Furthermore, more description should be given
in general to what the heck an "alpha" value is.
"red", "green", "blue" is fairly obvious.
"alpha" is not.

Judging by the sample code, if you want normal
behaviour, its important to set the "alpha"
value to 0xff. But thats all I know about it.
There should be more detail on it, both in
the above-mentioned class, and other places.
For example, the docs for
 java.awt.image.ImageConsumer
(Review ID: 14556)
