I know lots of you are university students and such, and in general this group seems somewhat more diverse than the standard "web apps in J2EE" crowd, so I thought you might be interested in my graphics library. I just released a major upgrade and I'm always improving it.It's licensed under the GPL and there's a commercial option, but if you're an individual you can get a commercial license for free (no support though).http://vectors.sourceforge.netBasically it's a layer on top of the Java2D API. It lets you work with a lot of the common cool things in Java2D, but in terms of "visual objects" that have attributes instead of working just with a raw scene full of drawing instructions. The API is heavily documented so it can be a good bridge to learning how the Java2D API works, or it can be used in its own right, as it was designed to be easy to learn and use. It seems like many people in this group could make use of this library.I'm the only developer of it, so if you have any feedback or comments please let me know. I'm currently in the process of re-writing its layout system so you can automatically lay out objects kinda like something like yFiles lets you do. | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
