JFree Graphics2D Tester

Overview

JFree Graphics2D Tester is a visual tester for implementations of Java2D's Graphics2D class. The program generates a pre-defined set of outputs for any provided subclass of Graphics2D that can be compared against a known good result. The following libraries (as well as others) can be tested this way:

• JFreeSVG
• JFreePDF
• FXGraphics2D
• SkijaGraphics2D
• SkikoGraphics2D

By running through the features of Graphics2D systematically, this test kit is able to highlight areas of weakness in a particular implementation. The goal is to drive improvements in the available implementations.

Target Output

The output of the Graphics2D target under test must be manually compared against the expected ("correct") output. The expected output can be generated by running the test program against the Graphics2D instance used by Java2D itself when drawing to a BufferedImage. For example, the following output is generated with Java 20 on MacOS:

Third Party Libraries

The test kit uses several third party libraries:

• ZXing - used to create a QR code which is (a) part of the test and (b) provides a link to the Graphics2D implementation under test;

• JFreeChart - used to create a sample 2D chart;

• Orson Charts - used to create a sample 3D chart;

• SteelSeries-Swing - used within the Java Swing UI demo to draw a dial.
