"A common question seems to arise often from Java graphics developers about which image type or creation method to use. When exactly should you use VolatileImage? What is BufferedImage appropriate for? What about the old Toolkit images? And when is BufferStrategy more appropriate than one of these image types?

It's a pretty big topic, and the answer (like all truly great answers) is probably "It depends". But there are some general guidelines that can come in handy. And perhaps a description of what these different kinds of images and methods are all about might help. "
