# JGraphix – a simple setup for drawing 2D graphics in Java
Though drawing graphics in Java is fairly easy, setting up everything right
can be a real challenge (not only) for beginning programmers.
This package provides a simple setup for performing non-interactive drawing
operations in Java and makes it extremely easy to get started with graphics.
No need to know about listeners, callbacks, threads or similar advanced concepts.
The software is intended for educational (student) use and thus neither safe nor
recommended for real applications. The implementation is based on Swing and AWT
graphics. All standard AWT graphics operations can be used (see the
Graphics
and
Graphics2D
API documentation for details).
The rendered screen graphics can be saved to a PNG file by pressing
Ctrl-s (Windows) or Cmd-s (MacOS) on the open window.
## Installation
* **Option 1:** Download the JAR file from [jars/](https://github.com/imagingbook/JGraphix/tree/master/jars)
and add it to your Java project (add to build path).
* **Option 2:** Clone this repository and open the contained (Eclipse) project.
Requires Java 1.7 or higher.
## Typical Usage
````
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import imagingbook.jgraphix.DrawFrame;
...
DrawFrame df = DrawFrame.create();
Graphics2D g = df.getGraphics2D();
g.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5));
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.drawLine(40, 10, 10, 40);
g.fillOval(10, 60, 30, 30);
g.drawOval(60, 60, 30, 30);
df.refresh(); // display drawing
df.clear(); // erase drawing
g.setColor(Color.green);
g.fillRoundRect(110, 60, 30, 30, 10, 10);
g.drawRoundRect(160, 60, 30, 30, 10, 10);
df.refresh(); // display drawing
