Java Updating Small Circles

I need to display a large number (500+) of small circles on a form to simulate LEDs. However, these circles need to be quite small, around 8 or 9 pixels diameter. So far, in my testing, I've put together some code that creates an Led class that uses a Shape (Ellipse2D.Double) and displays it directly on the JFrame from the JFrame's pain...

JNA Library - Problems on Mac OS X

This is a question regarding the JNA library in a Java program. I have a tray application. "JFrame 1" is loaded at start of program. "JFrame 1" has a custom shape and has transparency.

I'm looking for a shape recognition tool for Java. In particular, I'd like to find a Java library that given an image file (in jpeg, bmp, gif or any common image file format) gives me information about the regular shapes (rectangles, lines, ...) found in the picture and their coordinates.

Draw text on shape in ActionScript 3

Is there any way to draw text in a DisplayObject or Shape using only ActionScript? The only way I can find on the web is by creating a TextField, but I can't add a TF to a DisplayObject or Shape.

Creating a shape using series of Vector2 - XNA

In my XNA game, I needed to define an irregular shape based on several Vector2 coordinates in the 2D space. The reason was to do collision check (like Rectangle.Intersects()). For example: Vector2 point1 = new Vector(20,30); Vector2 point2 = new Vector(60,30); Vector2 point3 = new Vector(60,80); Vector2 point4 = new Vector(40,90); Vect...

Any simple shape recognition libraries for Java?

I am working on a on-screen keyboard for Android, and I need to recognize starting points, turning points and end points of lines drawn by the user on the keyboard. A simple straightening function would be nice, as it is difficult to draw a perfectly straight line even with a stylus, not to mention finger-only touchscreens today. What I...

I have two questions about java.awt.Shape. Suppose I have two Shapes, shape1 and shape2.

(Shape is not Serializable but it does have the getPathIterator() method which seems like you could get the information out but ...

Shape-like query in T-SQL

I would like to write a T-SQL statement, that structures data to be loaded into a Ado.Net DataSet like it was possible with the ADO SHAPE command. Is there something similar in T-SQL?

Polygonal Divs -- Making content overflow in a specific shape?

Here is the site I'm currently working on: http://willcrichton.net/ If you click on the arrows on each side of the hexagon in the middle, you can see that it transitions left and right using jQuery + jQuery Cycle + jQuery Easing. However, you can also see that it is rather ugly -- because I'm using hexagons and not squares and because d...

SVG to Android Shape

I'm wondering how vector drawing in Android with the Shape class may resemble another vector drawing standard. Since Shape is a Drawable, and Drawables are usually defined as XML, it sounds a lot like the vector drawing commands in SVG. My question is this: Has anybody created an XSLT transformation, or other mechanism, for converting ...
