| Summary: | Given a set of Java fonts, you may think you can choose only the style (plain, bold, or italic) and size. Chunyen Liu shows how you can use basic drawing tricks -- and a little creativity -- for more options. You can apply the same tricks in a general drawing context and extend them further to build a set of unique GUI components. And be sure to check out the new bonus tip, "Test your applet in the applet viewer," on page 2 of this article.(1,600 words) |
