2D Text Tutorial
In Closing

By Monica Pawlan

[<<BACK][CONTENTS]

Java 2D Text gives you the functionality you need to present application text in more interesting and user friendly ways.

The java.awt.font.TextLayout class lets you correctly and easily display static or editable graphical text in a wide range of modern, classical, and historical languages. It can correctly measure and position text with multiple text styles, calculate the insertion point, handle bidirectional and foreign langauge text, and divide a paragraph into lines.

Monica Pawlan is a staff writer on the JDC team. She has a background in 2D and 3D graphics, security, database products, and loves to explore emerging technologies.
