FXGraphics2D
Version 2.1.4, 12 February 2023.
Overview
FXGraphics2D is an implementation of Java's Graphics2D
API that targets the JavaFX Canvas
. It makes it possible to reuse existing Java2D code in a JavaFX application. The following example is generated by JFreeChart-FX:
Background
The code has been developed for the use of Orson Charts (https://github.com/jfree/orson-charts/) and JFreeChart (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart). Numerous demos can be found in the JFree-FXDemos project page at GitHub.
You can also read about FXGraphics2D in this Java Magazine article:

FXGraphics2D requires JDK 11 or later and is licensed under the terms of a (three clause) BSD-style license.
Include
To include FXGraphics2D
in your own project, add the following Maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jfree</groupId>
<artifactId>org.jfree.fxgraphics2d</artifactId>
<version>2.1.4</version>
</dependency>
Build
You can build FXGraphics2D
from sources using Maven:
mvn clean install
Testing
FXGraphics2D is being tested using Graphics2D Tester and produces the output shown below. There are several areas that still need work:
- the compositing rules in
AlphaComposite
cannot be mapped 100% to JavaFX equivalents - font metrics are approximated
- image drawing with clipping shows a strange greying out effect

If you have feedback about the FXGraphics2D
library, please use the discussion area.
