Chapter 12 ▪ Advanced Swing and Graphics

In this chapter, we continue our discussion of the Swing user interface toolkit and AWT graphics from Volume I. We focus on techniques that are applicable to both client-side user interfaces and server-side generation of graphics and images. Swing has sophisticated components for rendering tables and trees. With the 2D graphics API, you can produce vector art of arbitrary complexity. The ImageIO API lets you manipulate raster images. Finally, you can use the printing API to generate printouts and PostScript files.

12.1. Tables

The JTable component displays a two-dimensional grid of objects. Tables are common in user interfaces, and the Swing team has put a lot of effort into the table control. Tables ...
