Graphic Java 2 is the most comprehensive guide to the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) available. Three volumes cover all aspects of the JFC providing java developers with the skills needed to build professional, cross platform applications that take full advantage of the Java Foundation Classes.

The AWT is the cornerstone of the Java Foundation Classes. Volume 1 provides detailed descriptions of every aspect of the AWT, including:

Event Handling
Layout Managers
Graphics, Colors & Fonts
Image Manipulation
Lightweight Components
Data Transfer & Drag and Drop
Double Buffering
Sprite Animation

Java expert David Geary provides clear and in-depth explanations of both fundamental and advanced AWT concepts. The layout manager chapter, for example, is over 100 pages long and includes what readers have called the best explanation of GridBagLayout on the planet. A GridBagLab application on the CD lets you explore GridBagLayout on your own.

The accompanying CD-ROM includes all of the example code from the book, ready to run on Solaris(tm), Windows 95, Windows NT, and Macintosh along with the JDK(tm) for those platforms.

Synopsis:

Thousands of experienced Java developers are ready to move beyond the limits of the AWT -- to the supercharged GUI capabilities of the new Java Foundation Classes. This book shows them exactly how to make the transition -- slashing development time and building customizable, cross-platform Java applications. Graphic Java's detailed coverage begins with colors, fonts, images, image manipulation and printing. There is extensive new coverage of the inheritance-based and delegation-based event models; containers and layout managers. Understand each basic component of a Java-based GUI, as well as how to implement mouseless operation. Graphic Java also includes detailed coverage of advanced topics, including lightweight components, drag-and-drop, custom dialogs, the peerless scrolling framework, rubberbanding, double buffering and sprite animation. This is an ideal sourcebook and reference for all Java application programmers moving from the AWT to the JFC.
