    /**
     * Returns the component used for drawing the cell.  This method is
     * used to configure the renderer appropriately before drawing.
     * <p>
     * The <code>TableCellRenderer</code> is also responsible for rendering the
     * the cell representing the table's current DnD drop location if
     * it has one. If this renderer cares about rendering
     * the DnD drop location, it should query the table directly to
     * see if the given row and column represent the drop location:
     * <pre>
     *     JTable.DropLocation dropLocation = table.getDropLocation();
     *     if (dropLocation != null
     *             && !dropLocation.isInsertRow()
     *             && !dropLocation.isInsertColumn()
     *             && dropLocation.getRow() == row
     *             && dropLocation.getColumn() == column) {
     *
     *         // this cell represents the current drop location
     *         // so render it specially, perhaps with a different color
     *     }
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * During a printing operation, this method will be called with
     * <code>isSelected</code> and <code>hasFocus</code> values of
     * <code>false</code> to prevent selection and focus from appearing
     * in the printed output. To do other customization based on whether
     * or not the table is being printed, check the return value from
     * {@link javax.swing.JComponent#isPaintingForPrint()}.
     *
     * @param	table		the <code>JTable</code> that is asking the 
     *				renderer to draw; can be <code>null</code>
     * @param	value		the value of the cell to be rendered.  It is
     *				up to the specific renderer to interpret
     *				and draw the value.  For example, if
     *				<code>value</code>
     *				is the string "true", it could be rendered as a
     *				string or it could be rendered as a check
     *				box that is checked.  <code>null</code> is a
     *				valid value
     * @param	isSelected	true if the cell is to be rendered with the
     *				selection highlighted; otherwise false
     * @param	hasFocus	if true, render cell appropriately.  For
     *				example, put a special border on the cell, if
     *				the cell can be edited, render in the color used
     *				to indicate editing
     * @param	row	        the row index of the cell being drawn.  When
     *				drawing the header, the value of
     *				<code>row</code> is -1
     * @param	column	        the column index of the cell being drawn
     * @see javax.swing.JComponent#isPaintingForPrint()
