[platform-swt-dev] Java2d features in SWT


http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php3?id=2707&group=eclipse.tools.gef

The community has offered to write JNI support for GDI+ on win32, and Xc/Xr support (I don't know what that is) on Linux.  However, the proposal was to add this support to GEF.  IMO, the proper home for these would be in SWT.

Would the SWT team be willing to investigate providing real GDI+ support or a subset of GDI+ that would be "portable".  Win32 wrappers for GDI+ on SWT have already been posted to Eclipse.org, but the cross-platforms issues must be addressed.  There have been numerous requests for anti-aliasing, font rotation, thick dashed lines, transformations, transparency, etc.

thanks,
Randy
