Intel Animation for Java* Package Tutorial

Lesson 1: Using Surface and AnimCanvas

This applet creates an AnimCanvas and a Surface. The following command creates an AnimCanvas:

AnimCanvas animcanvas = new AnimCanvas(SURFACE_HEIGHT, SURFACE_WIDTH);

The AnimCanvas can be placed in your applet like any other awt component.

setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add("Center", animcanvas);

The AnimCanvas constructor automatically creates a surface. The surface can be accessed using the getSurface() method. In this applet, clicking the buttons changes the color of the Surface by calling

animcanvas.getSurface().setColor(COLOR);

After that, the new color is made visible by calling

animcanvas.repaint();
