Chapter 14 Object Graphics
DoodlePad is an open source object oriented graphics library that makes it easy to write computer graphics programs in Java. It automatically sets up and augments the Java Swing and AWT graphics environment, to include graphic object management, rendering, double buffering and a diverse set of pixel-perfect, shape-specific events and event handling. These features allow you focus on developing core programming skills in the fun and engaging world of computer graphics without the distraction of unrelated details.
Learning the DoodlePad library itself is not a goal of this book. Whenever you need commands to do something specific, we’ll give them to you. If you’d like to learn more, you are strongly encouraged to explore the documentation 1 . Effective use of software documentation is a learning goal, and a skill that you will need to master as you increase your knowledge. DoodlePad is an open source project 2 . Explore the source code as an example of how a large Java project makes use of the concepts described in this book.
