jvectClipboard 1.3 Beta

This is the home page for the Java Library JVectCutAndPaste. This library provides :<br /><br /> * writing support for a number of Vector formats (WMF, EMF, MacPict, EPS), which can be used with Graphics2D.<br /> * a simple class for copying vector images on the clipboard. Those images can be pasted in most word processors.<br /><br />The java cut and paste library probably suffers from the "good enough for me" syndrom. That is, I did not try to support all graphic features (in particular as far as colour transparency and filling are concerned), but only those I needed. If you want more, feel free to contribute code. So limitations are:<br /><br /> * no transparency nor gradient fill. Just plain colour fill, which is reasonable for diagrams (or in my case for hieroglyphs).<br /> * actual rendering depends on the target graphic format. EMF produces better results than MAC PICT or WMF, for instance (it can handle complex shapes with holes in them). As a rule, I prefer loosing some features than getting a bitmap (the solution chosen by java for printing).<br /> * no support for bitmap pictures yet. This is probably not too difficult to add, and would be a good candidate for an external contribution.<br /><br />Getting the source : you can download the latest version of the library with the command<br />svn co https://jvect-clipboard.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jvect-clipboard/trunk/jvect-clipboard jvect-clipboard<br /><br />You can get the library and the sources from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jvect-clipboard/<br />(http://sourceforge.net/projects/jvect-clipboard/files/)<br /><br />Note that there are other libraries for vector graphics. If you need more complete capabilities, you might have a look at freeHep. When I started the JSesh project, it didn't provide all functionnalities I needed, hence the creation of this library. Now, I haven't tried it yet, but the current version of FreeHep also provides clipboard capabilities (but it probably only works on Windows).
