Here is some introductory information on drawing shapes using Java 2D.
Note: Entire books have been written on just this subject, so we won't go
into great detail on Java 2D in this course.
Java 2D provides the ability to:
- Draw shapes whose classes use inheritance to share attributes and
behavior:
- Line2D, Rectangle2D, Ellipse2D
- Draw more complex shapes:
- Arcs, quadratic and cubic curves, etc.
- Draw user-defined shapes, using the same inheritance support
- Draw lines with different thicknesses, different "strokes"
(dotted, dashed, etc)
- Fill shapes with more complex fillings, such as patterns and blends.
- Perform transformations on those shapes such as rotation, shift,
stretch, etc.
