JHotDraw Description

JHotDraw is a useful toolkit that was designed in order to help you create many different editors from a simple doodle program up to full fledged diagram editors and vector animation tools. JHotDraw was developed with the help of the Java programming language. Main features: All contracts in the JHotDraw 7 framework are implemented against Java Interfaces. The framework provides many points to hook in your own code. The framework is small enough to create Java applets with it. Abstract and Default implementations are provided to get you a quick start. The framework makes use of common Java idioms, such as the JavaBeans setter and getter methods. This is supposed to reduce your learning curve. The drawing code takes advantage of Java2D. It uses double precision coordinates for all drawings. A drawing can be shown and edited in multiple windows with different scale factors. Undo/Redo is implemented based on the Swing undo package. Cut, Copy and Paste clipboard operations are supported. XML is used as the default external storage format and for clipboard operations.
