I inspired by MeBigFatGuy interesting question, in this conection I have very specific question about Graphisc2D, how to change BackGround Color by depends if is JTables Row visible in the JViewPort,
1) if 1st. & last JTables Row will be visible in the JViewPort, then BackGround would be colored to the Color.red
2) if 1st. & last JTables Row will not be visible in the JViewPort, then BackGround would be colored to the Color.whatever
