Java 2D API Graphics by Vincent J Hardy

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.

Vincent Hardy is a Java architect at Sun Microsystems' Java Solution Center, Menlo Park, CA, and a columnist for Java Report. He has extensive experience with the Java 2D API.
