This is a short tutorial on Affine Transforms and Java2D. We
created this tutorial because of a need to understand how transforms work in our own work
with Java2D.
There are three versions of this tutorial, depending on your machine's
ability to run code written for Java 1.2:
If your browser can natively run Java 1.2 applets, then
rectangle at left should say "Hello There!". If it does, start here:
If you have the Java 1.2 Plug-in installed, and working with your browser,
then the rectangle at left should say "Hello There!". If it does, start
here:
If you don't have the plug-in, using the Plug-In version will start the
download and install process for you.
Note: we've seen the Java plug-in choke on moderately complex applets.
If you have problems, use the Image Only version.
If you can't run Java 1.2 within your browser at all, then you can view
this version. If you want to run the sample programs, you'll need either the JDK1.2,
or JRE 1.2 installed.
