Graphics2D wrapper for JOGL
77 stars 31 forks source link

GLG2D is an effort to translate Graphics2D calls directly into OpenGL calls and accelerate the Java2D drawing functionality. The existing OpenGL pipeline in the Oracle JVM is minimal at best and doesn't use higher-level OpenGL primitives, like GL_POLYGON and GLU tesselation that make drawing in OpenGL so fast.
