Awesome graphics with the Java 2D API--step by step!

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.

Java 2D API Graphics 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 (included free on the accompanying CD-ROM).

Key topics covered include:

  • Fundamental Java 2D API principles and concepts: shapes, text, images, color management, compositing, transformations and more
  • Rendering tradeoffs between speed and quality
  • Simple to advanced code examples
  • Leveraging the power and complexity of the Java 2D API with tools and higher level programming models, such as the Graphic Layers Framework
  • Combination and extension of the Java 2D API features: custom paints, strokes, composites, filters and more
  • Composition techniques for special rendering effects such as shadowing, neon glow, textures, embossing, lighting and more
