Buzz on JavaFX and Inkscape
At November, 26, on the main page of java.sun.com at the section From The Blogosfere
Thanks for all comments, suggestions and feedback on the post Inkscape and JavaFX working together. The JavaFX guru James Weaver posted about on his blog and it also figured out on java.sun.com on the From The Blogosfere section.
Bob said that there are build binaries of Inkscape for Windows, so we can already see it 0.46-devel working without compiling yourself yours.
\o/
And hey, Project Xort won a second place prize at the MySQL and GlassFish Student Reviews Contest. A lot of guys here from Brazil were prized, congractulations guys!

Posted in english | 1 comment
Context ctx = getContext(); Display display = ((WindowManager)ctx.getSystemService(ctx.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); int width = display.getWidth(); int height = display.getHeight(); Yes, there are easier ways to retrieve the screen width on Android but there are cases that this long code is the only solution. You may already have the Context. WindowManager or the Display and so it would be [...]

In Inkscape if you have two filled circles. A big solid red one and a smaller, blurred and pinky one, like this: You can use the mask to trap one inside another to create a light effect. Metaphorically, I drew a mask using the mask effect: You can download it here: mask_inkscape_by_silveiraneto.svg As always, you can [...]

I don’t like the approach of calling native shell commands in any language instead of using multi platform libraries, but here is a little prof of concept Java program to call native commands. import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Exec { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().e xec(args); BufferedReader [...]
Iterating over a HashMap

Iterating over a HashMap using the enhanced loop (foreach) in Java is a good way to keep your code smaller, more legible and usually more semantically coherent. import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; class Foo {} public class Main { public static void main(String args[]){ Map<Byte, Foo> mHash; mHash = new HashMap<Byte, Foo>(); [...]

This is a simple program I wrote called Who Am I that shows informations about the device which it is running. Which can be useful for developers and maybe advanced users. Download: WhoAmI.tar.bz2 – Eclipse project. It’s configured for Android platform 4 (1.6) but should work without problems in newer Android platform versions. WhoAmI.apk – [...]

Today I was programming a toString method for a class widely used in a application, using the very useful String.format that provides a C’s like printf formatter. @Override public String toString() { return String.format("VO[a: %.1f, b: %.1f, c: %.1f]", a, b, a+b); } %.1f means a float with one digit precision after the dot separator.

Here’s a program that lists fonts available in your JVM. You can also set the environment variable JAVA_FONTS to specify the font directory. import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment; public class ListFonts { public static void main(String args[]){ GraphicsEnvironment e = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); for(String font:e.getAvailableFontFamilyNames()){ System.out.println(font); } } } By using pipes you can count how many fonts you [...]
Tiled TMX Map Loader for Pygame
I’m using the Tiled Map Editor for a while, I even wrote that tutorial about it. It’s a general purpose tile map editor, written in Java but now migrating to C++ with Qt, that can be easily used with my set of free pixelart tiles. A map done with Tiled is stored in a file [...]
