What
is COFODRA ?
COFORDRA stands for COdes FOR
DRAwing. This is a Vector Graphics tool
developed using Java. The difference between this and other Vector Graphics
software is that, COFORDRA generates Java codes for drawing. You can save
this code and run it as a stand alone application (in which drawing is
displayed in a JFrame) or use the code under paint(Graphics g) method.
This is what I call an "experimental version".
This means I have created the software with certain features which is
enough to try out the main concept of the software. If this is welcomed
future releases will be similar to commercial vector graphics tools with
many more features added to it.
Who should use it ?
This software could
be used by :
- Game
developers
- Web
developers
- Students
new to Java
Features
Following shapes
could be drawn using this tool :
- Line
- Ellipse
- Rectangle
- Quad
curve
- Cubic
curve
- Polygon
- Freehand
drawing
- Text
Limitations
As mentioned above
this is an experimental version. So some features like save,
copy, cut, paste and modify are not available. Here saving refers
to saving the drawing as objects (object serialization),
but saving the generated Java code is possible.
Read the "General Instructions" in the Help menu at least
once before using the software.
This software cannot save the drawings in .jpeg, .gif or any other image
format, only .java format is possible.
Future of COFORDRA
Future releases
of this software will generate Java codes for animation and games for
both PC and mobile devices.
