Optional GUI and Graphics Case Study
Students enjoy building GUI and graphics applications. For courses that introduce GUI and graphics early, we’ve integrated an optional 10-segment introduction to creating graphics and Swing-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The goal of this case study is to create a simple polymorphic drawing application in which the user can select a shape to draw, select the characteristics of the shape (such as its color) and use the mouse to draw the shape. The case study builds gradually toward that goal, with the reader implementing polymorphic drawing in Chapter 10, adding an event-driven GUI in Chapter 12 and enhancing the drawing capabilities in Chapter 13 with Java 2D.
