Glg Toolkit, Java Class Library.

This JavaDoc-style documentation provides a list of GLG classes and methods and is intended to serve only as a quick reference. Refer to the GLG documentation for details of the GLG Toolkit and its usage.

The Glg Toolkit for Java is a Java-based object engine that renders GLG objects in the Java environment. The Toolkit takes care of the low-level details of the rendering process, such as optimized damage repair, screen-resolution independent coordinate conversion, transparent zooming and panning, double-buffering and other coding-intensive driver-level tasks.

The Toolkit provides a high-level graphical object model which allows an application developer to concentrate on the logic of the application, speeding up the development process and dramatically increasing the developer's productivity.

The Toolkit contains the Graphics Builder, a graphical editor used to create graphical objects and define their attributes and dynamic properties without tedious programming. The resulting drawing is then saved into a file and loaded into a Java application using GLG's 100% pure Java class library.

The genlogic package contains a Standard and Extended API, which provides programmatic access to GLG objects. The Standard API provides methods for loading the drawing created in the Graphics Builder, displaying and updating it with dynamic data, as well as handling user interaction (selecting objects with the mouse, pressing buttons, etc.)

The Extended API provides methods for creating objects programmatically, as well as methods for extended object manipulation (adding or deleting objects at run-time, dragging objects with the mouse, traversing the object hierarchy, querying a list of object resources, etc.), supplying the application program with all the functionality of the Graphics Builder at run-time.

Please, refer to the overview of the genlogic package for more details and an overview of the GLG classes and their usage.
