Java 2D Graphics Summary

Java 2D Graphics by Jonathan Knudsen

Whereas Java 1.0 and 1.1 only included simple primitives for line drawing, Java 2D API allows users to produce high-quality images on a screen or printer. Assuming no prior knowledge of graphics, this book offers a comprehensive guide to Java 2D. The text describes the 2D API, demonstrating how to set line styles and pattern fills. It shows how to create and manipulate the three types of graphics objects: shapes, text and images and covers image data storage, colour management, font glyphs and printing.

About Jonathan Knudsen

Jonathan B. Knudsen is a staff writer for O'Reilly & Associates. He is the author of Java Cryptography and has contributed to Java Swing, Java AWT Reference, and the second and third editions of Exploring Java. Currently he is working on a book about LEGO MINDSTORMS. He also writes a monthly online column called "Bite-Size Java." Jonathan graduated cum laude from Princeton in 1993 with a degree in mechanical engineering. However, it was the non-engineering courses he really enjoyed, including Italian Renaissance art, Russian literature, and epic poetry. Jonathan is one of perhaps a dozen engineers in the world who has read Spenser's Faerie Queene cover to cover. Jonathan's current interests include inline skating and music, both popular and operatic. (A recording of Puccini's "Tosca" fueled much of the finishing touches for this book. Also, you can see echoes of Seal in Chapter 6.) Jonathan works at home with his wife, Kristen, and their children, Daphne, Luke, and Andrew.
