Announcing jSilhouette - No Fluff Just Stuff

Announcing jSilhouette

Posted by: Andres Almiray on August 11, 2008

I'm pleased to announce the release of jSilhouette 0.1, a collection of Java2D shapes. Any of you that have followed this blog on the past knows that GraphicsBuilder bundles additional shapes to the set found in the java.awt.geom package, like Arrow and Cross, well jSilhouette provides those additional shapes sans Groovy, i.e, in a standalone distribution (GraphicsBuilder will be retrofitted to use the new package). This means the following shapes are now at your disposal: Arrow, Balloon, Cross, MultiRoundRectangle, Rays, RegularPolygon, RoundPin, Star and Triangle (some examples here, here and here). But wait, there is more! jSilhouette also includes SceneGraph and JavaFx Script friendly distributions.

jSilhouette is available under GPLv2 with classpath extension, the same license used by Java and JavaFx Script.

Feedback is always appreciated.
