GWT drawing library... Summer of Code - MM Flash based canvas?..

[Vlad]

Hi,

I'm looking for a JS API drawing solution that could be easily
integrated (or already is) with GWT. Some time ago I've stumbled
across some proposal for the Summer of Code re: choosing a rendering
engine for drawing operations (I think the options were Flash, DIV/
HTML table or SVG/XAML). I'm primarily interested in the Flash based
solution since it seems like the most suitable cross platform solution
with a very wide variety of drawing toolkit already available.

Before I plunge into a custom solution, I wonder if there is anything
like that planned to be included in the upcoming release? I skimmed
through 1.4 documentation and haven't found anything that might be
related to this functionality. The GWT-widgets project seemed to have
an SVG based drawing solution, but it was excluded from the latest
release due to incompatibilities with GWT 1.4.

Is there any GWT wrapper for JSGraphics library? Though it's 'pseudo'
vector DIV based solution, it seems to be working...

Thanks for any pointers,

Vlad

I believe Robert Hanson and his team have a nice wrapped up jsgraphics
impl.

I am looking for the same thing. Did any one find an easy way to use
Flash in GWT code?
My work around at the moment is using a Frame and direct it to a page
that runs my flash object. Not very intelligent!

I found the GWT JsGraphics implementation too slow for animating
moving squares and circles. What is looking promising is a GWT wrapper
for Dojo GFX. This relies upon SVG, VML, or SliverLight depending upon
what the browser supports. Not only is this much faster than
JsGraphics but supports transparency, rotation, and much more. Here's
a nice article about Dojo GFX --

L Frohman posted a note about this on this list and sent me some test
code and I'm in the midst of expanding it.

Best,

Thanks.
I ended up using HTMLPanel and inserted the flash SWF object as an
<Object> with <Embed> tag.
Not a clean solution though.
