    an event based mechanism ({@link GLEventListener}) for performing
    OpenGL rendering. A GLAutoDrawable automatically creates a primary
    rendering context which is associated with the GLAutoDrawable for
    the lifetime of the object. This context has the {@link
    GLContext#setSynchronized synchronized} property enabled so that
    calls to {@link GLContext#makeCurrent makeCurrent} will block if
    the context is current on another thread. This allows the internal
    GLContext for the GLAutoDrawable to be used both by the event
    based rendering mechanism as well by end users directly. */
