Hi,
I'd like to propose a new branch in the GNU Classpath CVS repository:
graphics2d-rewrite. Patches to this branch should be sent to
classpath-patches@gnu.org with a subject line prefix of [g2d rewrite].
Commit policy is the same as GNU Classpath trunk.
On this branch I'd like to do several things:
1) Make Graphics2D the default
2) Remove Graphics
3) Split Graphics2D according to
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathGraphicsImagesText
Once these items are done and tested to work as well or better than the
current Graphics/Graphics2D implementations, I'll merge the branch into
trunk and continue development there.
Any objections?
Tom
I'm looking forward to seeing this work proceed. I can certainly help
with testing, but I'm not likely to be much help with the actual
implementation (I know so little about the non-Java bits of GNU Classpath).
Regarding 3) and BufferedImages, I think I recall Sven saying he was
mistaken about the DataBuffer classes. As far as I could tell (from
writing some Mauve tests for them) they use real Java arrays. And that
makes using Cairo for BufferedImages more difficult, doesn't it?
Regards,
Dave
