```
    Description copied from interface: PaintTarget
    
    Prints element start tag of a paintable section. Starts a paintable section using the given tag. The PaintTarget may implement a caching scheme, that checks the paintable has actually changed or can a cached version be used instead. This method should call the startTag method.
    If the Component is found in cache and this function returns true it may omit the content and close the tag, in which case cached content should be used.
    
    This method may also add only a reference to the paintable and queue the paintable to be painted separately.
    
    Each paintable being painted should be closed by a matching PaintTarget.endPaintable(Component) regardless of the PaintTarget.PaintStatus returned.
    
    Specified by:
    
    startPaintable in interface PaintTarget
    
    Parameters:
    
    connector - the paintable to start.

  - addVariable
```
public void addVariable(VariableOwner owner,
                        String name,
                        StreamVariable value)
                 throws PaintException
```
    Description copied from interface: PaintTarget
    
    Adds details about StreamVariable to the UIDL stream. E.g. in web terminals Receivers are typically rendered for the client side as URLs, where the client side implementation can do an http post request.
    The urls in UIDL message may use Vaadin specific protocol. Before actually using the urls on the client side, they should be passed via com.vaadin.client.ApplicationConnection.translateVaadinUri(String).
    Note that in current terminal implementation StreamVariables are cleaned from the terminal only when:
    - a StreamVariable with same name replaces an old one
    - the variable owner is no more attached
    - the developer signals this by calling StreamVariable.StreamingStartEvent.disposeStreamVariable()
    Most commonly a component developer can just ignore this issue, but with strict memory requirements and lots of StreamVariables implementations that reserve a lot of memory this may be a critical issue.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addVariable in interface PaintTarget
    
    Parameters:
    
    owner - the ReceiverOwner that can track the progress of streaming to the given StreamVariable
    
    name - an identifying name for the StreamVariable
    
    value - the StreamVariable to paint
    
    Throws:
    
    PaintException - if the paint operation failed.
  - isFullRepaint
```
public boolean isFullRepaint()
```
    Specified by:
    
    isFullRepaint in interface PaintTarget
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a full repaint has been requested. E.g. refresh in a browser window or such.
