Class StdDraw

java.lang.Object
stdlib.StdDraw
All Implemented Interfaces:
ActionListener, KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, EventListener

Standard draw. This class provides a basic capability for creating drawings with your programs. It uses a simple graphics model that allows you to create drawings consisting of points, lines, and curves in a window on your computer and to save the drawings to a file.

For additional documentation, see Section 1.5 of Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
