Riassunto

You can create awesome graphics with the Java 2D graphics API -- and Java 2D Graphics shows you how, in full color! From textures to painting, montages to animation, you'll see exactly what can be done -- and then learn how to do it, step-by-step, with dozens of detailed code examples. Sun Microsystems Java architect Vincent Hardy offers a detailed overview of the Java 2D API, its features, components, and key applications -- including banner management, animation, presentations, pluggable look-and-feel, and more. He also introduces his exclusive Graphics Layer Framework, a high-level programming model that dramatically simplifies Java 2D programming, and is included free on the accompanying CD-ROM. Master fundamental Java 2D API principles and concepts, including shapes, text management, imaging, color models, and layering. Learn how to control rendering tradeoffs between speed and quality. Create motion effects, textures, embosses, lighting effects, text effects, animations, and more. Master the arts of composition, including montage, feathering, and displacement maps. From web pages to office tools, sophisticated graphics are becoming crucial to a wide range of applications. With this book, developers can get them -- without the expense and hassle of platform-specific development.

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
