A small library to use custom defined pens to draw Java-Shapes.
This project is build with Maven. Use mvn install
to generate it as a jar
in the target/ directory. Alternatively the project can be used as dependency
in other Maven projects (see [below] (#maven-integration)).
To use custom shape drawing an instance of jkit.gfx.AbstractShapeDrawer
has to be used
to draw shapes instead of java.awt.Graphics2D#draw(java.awt.Shape)
.
Graphics2D g = ...;
g.draw(shape);
may be converted to
Graphics2D g = ...;
Rectangle2D vis = ...; // visible rectangle in transformed space - (optional)
AbstractShapeDrawer shapeDrawer = AbstractShapeDrawer.getShapeDrawerForPen(...);
Drawable d = shapeDrawer.getDrawable(shape);
d.drawIfVisible(g, vis);
In the package jkit.example
is an example that shows
how to use various custom pens.
In order to use JKanvas within a Maven project you can use the following dependency
(in the <dependencies>
section -- note that the X.X.X in the version tag
must be replaced with the current version):
<dependency>
<groupId>joschi-mvn</groupId>
<artifactId>CustomPen</artifactId>
<version>X.X.X</version>
</dependency>
However, this requires an additional repository in the repositories section (<repositories>
) of the pom.xml file:
<repository>
<id>joschi</id>
<url>http://merkur57.inf.uni-konstanz.de/~krause/mvn/releases</url>
</repository>
When using [Eclipse] (http://www.eclipse.org/) the current snapshot can be used by having the JKit-CustomPen project open and altering the version of the dependency to X.X.X-SNAPSHOT where X.X.X is the upcoming version.
