New to cgal-bindings (java) - visualization

[martin tomko]

Dear all,
thanks for this great way to enable CGAL to non-C folks.

I have successfully installed the bindings and executed some of the examples through Eclipse, so I am on my way.,

Any suggestion (exexcutable examples, by pref) on how to easily visualize or export (as data) the outputs through Java  would be appreciated. Now, I am not after fancy 3D meshed, all of my efforts are driven towards the ability to construct, and export
line segment (or rather, mixture of segment and point) voronoi diagrams (http://doc.cgal.org/latest/Segment_Delaunay_graph_2/index.html ).

Ultimately I will try to bridge the generated voronoi diagrams to GeoJSON or some other processable output.

Thanks,
martin

Sorry I don't have any experience in visualization in java but I guess
there is nothing specific to CGAL here so a general java forum might help.

Best,

Sebastien.

Thanks Sebastien,
maybe I should phrase this differently - do people use some simple method to visualize that their results are correct?
Or, is there a simple way to serialise the results of the calculation ( into GeoJSON or WKT) to export the Voronoi regions? My understanding of CGAL is so far weak ( even the coordinate system is unclear), but my impression is that the curved geometries are not stored in a discretized method, hence my question.

Similarly, does anyone have experience in importing gis type data  (GeoJSON or similar, for example as sources of Voronoi generators?)

Thanks,
Martin
