/**
* Interface for classes that paint the background of an <code>RTextAreaBase</code>. The Strategy pattern is used for
* this object because the background can be painted as a solid color, as an image, and possibly other ways (gradients,
* animated images, etc.). When a method to change the background of an <code>RTextAreaBase</code> instance is called
* (such as <code>setBackground</code>, <code>setBackgroundImage</code> or <code>setBackgoundObject</code>), the correct
* strategy is then created and used to paint its background.
