Scenic 0.12.4

A scene-based 2D graphics library that enables the development of graphics intensive applications using modern graphics cards Scenic aims to be fast and offer high-quality graphics. One possibility that Scenic offers is the development of resolution independent interfaces.
Scenic consists of two parts: the rendering code which is written in c++ and is accessed using JNI, and the scene graph code, which is written in Java. The rendering code uses either DirectX or OpenGL to access the graphics hardware.
Main features:
- Affine transformations
- Polygons
- Lines
- Text
- Images
- Clipping to any shape
- Gradients
- Patterns
- Graphics Primitives (OpenGL like triangles)
- Video (Using DirectShow - only works on Windows)
- Quadratic (2nd order) Bezier curves
- Cubic (3rd order) Bezier curves
- Elliptic arcs
- Alpha transparency
- High-quality antialiasing
- Antialiasing is done for lines, polygons and text. Lines and polygons are antialiased in hardware, which should enable fast performance. Polygons are antialiased using a high-quality analytical algorithm. All the used algorithms should work on a wide variety of hardware.
