Well round one is done (yeah I didn't think that would take long) and it
works perfectly. Performance is 'less than stellar', but it is within
accepted norms for a Java application. I'll have to post to the Java2D list
and find out what the JVM is actually doing with that clipping region and
whether or not that is something that will get accelerated in the new OpenGL
pipeline. Then again, perhaps someone from Apple could chime in about how
Graphics2D.setClip() is implemented under the covers.
To be honest I could probably get away with this, but I've never been one to
slack off from find the right answer so I'll press on in the morning (3AM
here).
OH! And for all of those helping me out and giving me suggestions - THANK
YOU! Wanted to make sure I said it before I moved on and starting testing
the other results.
