The reason why I recommended a BufferedImage, is that _reading_ from VolatileImages is quite slow. Have you already tried a BI? When using a VolatileImage painting will be fast, however reading the VIs contents is slow.
A BufferedImage is slower to paint to, but access to pixel data is more or less free. I am afraid native code won't help in this situation ... - Clemens [Message sent by forum member 'linuxhippy' (linuxhippy)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=344818 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to lists...@java.sun.com and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
