Abstract

Sophisticated graphics are crucial to a wide range of applications. Now you can create awesome graphics using Java technology without the expense and hassle of platform-specific development. Sun Microsystems Java technology architect Vincent Hardy shows you how-in full-color! From text manipulation to geometry rendering, compositions and image manipulation, you'll see exactly what can be done-and learn how to do it, step-by-step with detailed code examples. The book offers an in-depth overview of the Java 2D API, its architecture, features, components and possibleapplications. It also introduces Hardy's exclusive Graphic Layers Framework---a high-level programming model that dramatically simplifies programming with the Java 2D API
