Graphics

This code is based on our demonstration of the Graph unit using Brian Long's sample program ArchimedianSpiralApplet to get us started. The Graphics object in Oxygene has methods to draw the shapes, but the some of the parameters are different from those in the Lazarus (Free Pascal) Graph unit. For example, now we supply after the co-ordinates of the top left vertex of a rectangle its width and height instead of the co-ordinates of its bottom right vertex. Note how to select the font of text.

There are several other methods of the graphics object to experiment with, and further functionality in the Graphics2D object. We provide an example of the use of a BufferedImage in the Oxygene version of MultiDraw. This program handles input from the keyboard and mouse.

We supply below for the graphics demonstration:

  1. the code of graphics_demo.pas (written in the Lazarus editor);
  2. a slimmed-down xml project file (graphics_demo.oxygene) to be opened in Visual Studio or used by the command line instruction msbuild graphics_demo.oxygene;
  3. a simple HTML file to run the applet;
  4. a screenshot of the web page;
  5. equivalent code in RemObjects C# for Java.
