/**
* The <code>JRadioButton</code> component provides a visually selectable
* button with mutually exclusive behaviour within a <code>ButtonGroup</code>.
* A series of radio buttons can be used to provide options to the user,
* where the user can only select one of the available options. The state
* of the button is provided by the superclass, <code>JToggleButton</code>.
* <code>JRadioButton</code> adds the additional behaviour, that if two
* or more radio buttons are grouped together, the selection of one implies
* the deselection of the other buttons within the group.
* <p>
*
* Buttons are grouped by adding each instance to a <code>ButtonGroup</code>.
* The existence of such a grouping is not reflected visually, so other means
* should be used to denote this. For instance, the grouped buttons can be placed
* within the same panel, possibly with an appropriate border to denote
* the connection between the components.
