Java AWT Reference Book

Java AWT Reference provides a solid introduction to programming with the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) in Java. AWT programming is something of an endangered species with JavaBeans and new interface class libraries just over the horizon. However, until these new technologies arrive, the AWT is still the bread and butter for today's Java user interfaces. The author carefully introduces all the basics here, starting with graphics programming and continuing with new JDK 1.1 features, such as the new event model, and information on working with individual AWT components like labels, buttons, and text controls. Along the way, the author highlights features that are new to JDK 1.1 (for instance, clipboard and printing capabilities, which are described in separate chapters). Although the book is primarily a reference for the AWT (a look-up section contains over 450 pages of the AWT class APIs), it also includes some short, clear programming examples on how to use the main features of AWT. Clearly written, this book is a good candidate for the library of any Java developer who needs to learn the nuts and bolts of AWT programming, including JDK 1.1-specific features.Read More

  • Product Description

    The Java AWT Reference provides complete reference documentation on the Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT), a large collection of classes for building graphical user interfaces in Java. With AWT, you can create windows, draw, work with images, and use components like buttons, scrollbars, and pulldown menus. This book covers the classes that comprise the java.awt, java.awt.image, java.applet, java.awt.event, andjava.awt.datatransfer packages. These classes provide the functionality that allows a Java application to provide user interaction in a graphical environment. Part of O'Reilly's Java documentation series, the Java AWT Reference takes you beyond what you'd expect from a standard reference manual. In addition to detailed descriptions of classes and methods, it offers a comprehensive explanation of how AWT components fit together and includes lots of sample code to help you learn by example. This edition describes both Version 1.0.2 and Version 1.1 of the Java Development Kit and includes:

    • Easy-to-use reference material on every AWT class
    • Extended examples that demonstrate important AWT functionality
    • A detailed explanation of Java's image processing mechanisms
    • Coverage of every AWT component and container, showing how to use them in various combinations to create effective interfaces
    • Descriptions of all the layout managers, including GridBagLayout
    • Material on graphics primitives and rendering techniques
