Well, Graphics state is always global - you should always get in the habit of calling
g.reset()before you start rendering in a function where you're not 100% sure of the graphics state it's called from.If you just do
g.drawStringthen font, alignment, color, etc could be set to anything.The current solution is just a sensible compromise of complexity and memory usage... I guess potentially we could have a way to 'clone' a graphics instance into a variable where state for that var is kept separately - but I think the end result is it'd end up getting used pretty lazily and we'd end up storing loads of different graphics states for things that really didn't need it.
