FXGraphics2D
============

Version 2.1.4, 12 February 2023.

[![Maven Central](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.jfree/org.jfree.fxgraphics2d/badge.svg)](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.jfree/org.jfree.fxgraphics2d)

Overview
--------
**FXGraphics2D** is an implementation of Java's `Graphics2D` API that targets the JavaFX `Canvas`. It makes it possible to reuse existing Java2D code in a JavaFX application. The following example is generated by [JFreeChart-FX](https://github.com/jfree/jfreechart-fx):

Background
----------
The code has been developed for the use of **Orson Charts** (https://github.com/jfree/orson-charts/)
and **JFreeChart** (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart). Numerous demos can be
found in the [JFree-FXDemos](https://github.com/jfree/jfree-fxdemos "JFree-FXDemos Project Page at GitHub")
project page at GitHub.

*FXGraphics2D* requires JDK 11 or later and is licensed under the terms of a (three clause) BSD-style license.

Include
-------
To include `FXGraphics2D` in your own project, add the following Maven dependency:


org.jfree
org.jfree.fxgraphics2d
2.1.4

Build
-----
You can build `FXGraphics2D` from sources using Maven:

mvn clean install

Testing
-------
FXGraphics2D is being tested using [Graphics2D Tester](https://github.com/jfree/graphics2d-tester) and produces the output shown below. There are several areas that still need work:

- the compositing rules in `AlphaComposite` cannot be mapped 100% to JavaFX equivalents
- font metrics are approximated
- image drawing with clipping shows a strange greying out effect
