Overview Of Presentation
National Institute of Science & Technology

• What is JGL?
• A set of Java GUI components from Sun
• Included starting with Java 2 SDK1.4.2
• Part of the Java Foundation Classes (JFC)
• The graphics library defines a number of drawing
function, java2d api, java 3d api.
• This graphics class contains two types of subclasses;
those are Debug graphics, Graphics2D.

Graphics Class
National Institute of Science & Technology

• The Graphics class is the abstract base class for all graphics
contexts that allow an application to draw onto components
that are realized on various devices, as well as onto off-screen
images.
• A Graphics object encapsulates state information needed for
the basic rendering operations that Java supports
• This state information includes the following properties:
The Component object on which to draw.
A translation origin for rendering and clipping coordinates.
The current clip.
The current color.
The current font.
The current logical pixel operation function (XOR or Paint).

Constructor Detail
•Graphics
protected Graphics()
Constructs a new Graphics object. This constructor is the
default constructor for a graphics context. Since Graphics is an
abstract class, applications cannot call this constructor directly.
Graphics contexts are obtained from other graphics contexts or
are created by calling getGraphics on a component.

Graphics2D
National Institute of Science & Technology

• This Graphics2D class extends the Graphics class to provide

more sophisticated control over geometry, coordinate
transformations, color management, and text layout.
• This is the fundamental class for rendering 2-dimensional
shapes, text and images on the Java(tm) platform
• Coordinate Spaces
All coordinates passed to a Graphics2D object are specified in a
device-independent coordinate system called User Space, which
is used by applications.
Coordinates in device space usually refer to individual device
pixels and are aligned on the infinitely thin gaps between these
pixels.

Graphics2D
National Institute of Science & Technology

•Rendering Process
The Rendering Process can be broken down into four
phases that are controlled by the Graphics2D rendering attributes.
The three types of rendering operations are:
•Shape operations
•Text operations
•Image Operations

Default Rendering Attributes

National Institute of Science & Technology

The default values for the Graphics2D rendering attributes are:

• Paint
The color of the Component.
• Font
The Font of the Component.
• Stroke
A square pen with a linewidth of 1, no dashing, miter segment joins and square end
caps.
• Transform
The getDefaultTransform for the GraphicsConfiguration of the Component.
• Composite
The AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER rule.
• Clip
No rendering Clip, the output is clipped to the Component.

Conclusion
National Institute of Science & Technology

• Most of these methods could be largely simplified if the Graphics

class supported a setPixel function. This would avoid having to create
a BufferedImage in some cases.
• When you draw a Graphics of a Swing Component you do not directly
access the screen memory but a standard buffer memory. Therefore
the Graphics functions called directly on a Java Swing Component
shouldn't be too slow.
• Again java 2D supports enhanced control over graphics, including
such things as coordinate translations, rotation and scaling. It also
provides advanced imaging features.
