#### The Event Dispatch Thread
The current source starts putting AWT (and Swing, if any) calls on the [EDT](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency/dispatch.html), per Oracle's statements in Java's documentation. Actual rendering in the default renderer happens off the EDT, but the EDT is used to blit the image to the screen (or resize windows, etc). Looking for more consistent cross-platform results by doing this.
