Hehe, you're trying to do a C/C++/Java cast in Python :-).  Those
languages are all statically typed so you must tell the compiler that
you really have a Graphics2D object because it can't figure that out
for itself.  Python, on the other hand, is dynamically typed.  Since
you know you have a Graphics2D object, just use it! :-).
Python/Jython will check to make sure it really is the right object
when you call methods on it and it will just work!  This is one of the
features of Python that make it so easy and fun to use.
