Re: [JAVA2D] Graphics Tearing Issue
I just wanted to add, do you really need to have two _translucent_
images the size of the screen? Why not render directly to the
back-buffer?
Thanks,
Dmitri

Re: [JAVA2D] Graphics Tearing Issue
Hi,
I talked about the tearing issue in my blog entry and article
on choppy animations:
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/chet/archive/2006/02/make_your_anima.html
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2006/02/23/smooth-moves-solutions.html
You're basically running into a vertical refresh artifact.
Running fullscreen with a BufferStrategy is a decent way to
work around this; depending on the platform and the situation,
we will usually give you a Flip strategy, which is (usually)
synchronized with the vertical refresh of the display to avoid
tearing.
There are some things that might contribute to this not working,
however:
- What platform are you running on? It's possible that the
Flip strategy on your particular platform is actually doing a
copy behind the scenes, which would be the same as the BltBufferStrategy,
which runs smack into the refresh artifact.
- What pipeline are you using? The default? Are you specifying
OpenGL? or Direct3D? What release are you using? These can
all affect how we are implementing the buffer strategy under
the hood.
- The graphics operations you do to the back buffer could
actually impact things as well; it's possible that we would
punt the buffer to system memory in some situations because
the operations you are doing (apart from the flip/blt) are
faster in software. This is particularly the case for
translucency; reading from video memory is an amazingly
slow operation, and we do not necessarily support translucency
through hardware on all platforms.
Anyway, hopefully this helps you track things down a bit...

Re: [JAVA2D] BreakIterator example
Peter,
First the delay in getting any response is because this isn't a Java2D
question so I don't
think there's a whole lot of expertise on this list in this area.
I am informed that a better place to have asked this question would have
been :
http://developers.sun.com/contact/feedback.jsp?category=j2se&mailsubject=Internationalization%20(I18N)
which I agree is obscure.
Anyway I asked the experts and the response I received was:
>And for the break iterator question, assuming that s/he refers to "a
non-letter supplementary character"
>by "a non-letter surrogate", I think the code happens to work even
though the loop is doing "p++",
>since a stand alone surrogate code point is always non-letter. So it
just skips the low surrogate in the loop.
For further clarification I suggest the above mentioned web form.

The BreakIterator description contains the following example.\
Find the next word:
public static int nextWordStartAfter(int pos, String text) {
BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
wb.setText(text);
int last = wb.following(pos);
int current = wb.next();
while (current != BreakIterator.DONE) {
for (int p = last; p < current; p++) {
if (Character.isLetter(text.codePointAt(p))
return last;
}
last = current;
current = wb.next();

return BreakIterator.DONE;
}
In the inner for loop, what happens if a non-letter surrogate is found?
