Announcing Diva 0.2, the first step toward a software infrastructure for
visualizing and interacting with dynamic information spaces.
This release consists of several Java packages:
- The Diva canvas is a structured graphics layer over the Java2D API. It
has a layered and recursive architecture, support persistent graphical
objects, and has high-level interaction support.
- The Diva graph package contains an easy-to-use architecture for graph
visualization. Its architecture follows the model-view separation. It
includes graph layout and editing.
- The Diva sketch package provides data structures and algorithms for
"digital ink" and gesture recognition for pen-based user interfaces.
Highlights of this release:
- A neat "digital whiteboard" and sketch-based graph editor.
- Smart "connectors."
- Polyline2D and Polygon2D shapes (for those who miss them in Java2D!).
Diva 0.2 can be downloaded at:

As the infrastructure matures, we believe it can be applied in a variety of
information-intensive domains, ranging from software and hardware systems
design to data browsing and exploration. We hope that this announcement has
piqued your interest, and that you find Diva useful.
