Package edu.rit.draw Description

Package edu.rit.draw contains classes and programs for drawing diagrams and slides of all kinds.

To create a drawing or slide, first create an instance of class Drawing. Next, create a number of drawing items and add each one to the drawing. Package edu.rit.draw.item contains classes for various kinds of drawing items such as lines, arrows, rectangles, ellipses, and text. Finally, store the drawing object in a file using the static Drawing.write() method.

To view a drawing or slide, run the viewer program, class View, specifying the drawing file on the command line. The viewer program lets you save the drawing in a PNG file or a PostScript file.

Future versions of package edu.rit.draw will include a WYSIWYG application for creating and viewing drawings as well as applications for creating and running slide shows.
