<a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> records drawing commands made to <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Canvas'>Canvas</a>. The command stream may be
played in whole or in part at a later time.

<a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> is an abstract class. <a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> may be generated by <a href='undocumented#Picture_Recorder'>Picture Recorder</a>
or <a href='undocumented#Drawable'>Drawable</a>, or from <a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> previously saved to <a href='undocumented#Data'>Data</a> or <a href='undocumented#Stream'>Stream</a>.

<a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> may contain any <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Canvas'>Canvas</a> drawing command, as well as one or more
<a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Matrix'>Canvas Matrix</a> or <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Clip'>Canvas Clip</a>. <a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> has a cull <a href='SkRect_Reference#Rect'>Rect</a>, which is used as
a bounding box hint. To limit <a href='#Picture'>Picture</a> bounds, use <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Clip'>Canvas Clip</a> when
recording or drawing <a href='#Picture'>Picture</a>.
