Graph Type Rendering Update 3

Just another little update, the 3rd, see first update and the second one for progress.
Basically one bug within the TypecastRenderer has been fixed, transforming the Glyph into our OutlineShape. Furthermore it may produce Java code to be pasted in a test class to test remaining issues. Continue reading “Graph Type Rendering Update 3”

Graph Type Rendering Update 2

Since my last update, I changed the Type Rendering to produce OutlineShapes in font and resolution independent font em-size units instead of font-units to be divided by unitsPerEm earlier. The UI demos have also been updated and the following screenshots demonstrate Graph UIs potential of its immersive scene UI. Continue reading “Graph Type Rendering Update 2”

Graph Type Rendering Update 1

After releasing JogAmp 2.4.0 (see feature/buglist), it was time to tackle an outstanding issue once again: Type Rendering. Motivation was born again by finding the most interesting feature to use Java with JOGL on Desktop, Mobile and Embedded Devices. At least for my taste, I identified this to be Graph UI,  an immersive UI within the 3D scene including text and UI objects and user interaction. Continue reading “Graph Type Rendering Update 1”

Resolution independent GPU accelerated Curve & Font rendering

Rami Santina and I had the luxury and fun of implementing something hopefully useful for the desktop and mobile Java, UI and 3D community.
Without AWT dependencies and with utilizing the GPU, curve and font rendering now happens within Jogl.

Rami, the math dude behind the equations, will publish some boring papers about his findings,
which allows us to have and use this nice technique w/o patent worries.
Yes, it’s not Loop/Blinn.

Source is already pushed.

A few teaser 🙂
