Sample programs on this page require: Java Plug-in JRE™ Version 5.0, Java 3D™ 1.5.2.

Sample Shapes 1

Arc2D arcPieYel = new Arc2D.Float(0, 0, 1, 1, 45, 270, Arc2D.PIE)
Arc2D arcPieRed = new Arc2D.Float(0, 0, 1, 1, 315, 90, Arc2D.PIE)

Sample Shapes 2

Font font = new Font("Bitstream Vera Serif", Font.BOLD, 50);
char[] chars = {'j', 'i', 'm'};
Shape shapeGlyph = AWTShapeExtruder.createAWTShape(chars, font, true);

AffineTransform glyphTrans = new AffineTransform();
glyphTrans.setToTranslation(10, 18);

Shape shapeGlyphT = glyphTrans.createTransformedShape(shapeGlyph);
Area areaGlyph = new Area(shapeGlyphT);

Rectangle2D rectGlyph = new Rectangle2D.Float(0, 0, 105, 65);
Area areaRectGlyph = new Area(rectGlyph);

areaRectGlyph.subtract(areaGlyph);
