GLG2D

GLG2D is an effort to translate Graphics2D calls directly into OpenGL calls and accelerate the Java2D drawing functionality.

Find more information on http://opengrabeso.github.com/glg2d/

Use cases:

• OpenGL HTML rendering using https://github.com/OpenGrabeso/flyingsaucer
• use as a drop-in replacement for a JPanel and all Swing children will be accelerated
• draw Swing components in an GLCanvas in your existing application

This library is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and JOGL is licensed and distributed separately.

Fork

Forked from http://brandonborkholder.github.com/glg2d/

This version adds following features:

• fix issues preventing use of the Flying Saucer library
• use GL3 shader based text-renderer (allows running on a core profile)
• allow using JOGL or LWJGL

How to build

This project uses maven, run mvn package to build the jar in the ./target/ dir or add the following to your pom.xml

How to use

JAAGL

The library uses OpenGL via the Jaagl abstraction layer, therefore the same library can be used with both LWJGL and JOGL. As typical applications choose one or the other, the libraries are linked as provided so that they are not required to be present both.

If necessary, it should be easy to provide Jaggl implementation for other platform / API, e.g. LWJGL OpenGL ES bindings.

At the time of writing the library was tested against JOGL 2.3.2 and LWJGL 3.2.3 (see pom.xml for up to date information).

POM.XML

The project is published at GitHub packages, add following to your pom.xml:
