I offer this just to try and be helpful. I have an applet that uses VolitileImages throught the BufferStrategy interface. It creates images using a MemoryImageSource. Then it drawImage() onto the BufferStrategy graphics and does a BufferStrategy show(). The show() is in the canonical BufferStrategy drawing loop, checking to see if the buffer graphics has changed.
My development computer is down for repairs. Does anyone want to do a side by side comparison with 1.5 and the new 1.6? I'm on an NT box now and 1.6 is not compatible with NT -- or so it says when I try to load it. It's about a 1.4meg image so if you are on a slow connection, it may take some time. When my development computer gets fixed, I'll put in some timing print out so you can compare time to paint. The debug output in the console now only shows time to render the image bytes not the drawing times so they are irrelevant. You would have to do a side by side comparison to see differences. But there might be some obvious bugs show. Drag the mouse and spin the wheel to pan and zoom. But here's the URL anyway if someone finds it useful: http://pancyl.com/debug.htm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I tried the new Update N with one of my Java applets and the framerate has degraded markedly. I can confirm the Direct3D pipeline is enabled (see listing at the end of this post), and that if I use -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false everything goes back to normal (eg. fast and smooth). Admittedly this applet is a few years old, but it has always been fine under JDK1.4, Java 5 and Java 6 up until now. You can try it for yourself at: http://www.play500online.com/500/500.jsp (and click 'Start New') I am happy to send a copy of the source to the team if you can give me the best e-mail address. In brief though, it is all Java2D, transparency, clipping, anti-aliasing and VoltaileImages. Regards, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
