[java] Graphic programming in Java

I''m going to assume you need something a little more advanced than just "how do I make an applet?", so here''s a link to the Java 2D Programmers guide, which documents just about everything about programming graphics in Java. If you can''t find it in here, I don''t know where you''ll find it. =)

Indeed, I''m no amature when it comes to Java, so I don''t need to know how to make applets, i just need to know how to apply the special effects techniques for things like 2D water and fire.

I''ll take a look through that guide and see if it gives me what I need. Thanks.

You said in your e-mail you were looking for direct pixel manipulation. Well, there is a class called WritableRaster. It represents a rectangular set of pixels that can be written to. As stated in the Java 2D tutorials I''ve seen, you can create an empty BufferedImage, and it contains a Raster and a ColorModel... from the Raster, there''s a method to create a WritableRaster.......

Perhaps this is what you''ve been looking for?

I took the time to read through the raster page a while ago actually, and it''s really not what i''m looking for. I simply want to be able to store the data in an array and call from that (rasters don''t provide much support for keeping track of rows of data, which you need for special effects)

I know for fact it can be done without using bufferedimages (besides, i simply want to use a MemoryImageSource to create the image)
