| 3 | <P>The Scientific Graphics Toolkit (<b>SGT</b>) is designed |
|---|
| 4 | to allow a graphics client developer a great deal of flexibility and |
|---|
| 5 | freedom. <CODE>sgt</CODE> is a package that greatly aids a developer |
|---|
| 6 | in creating graphics applets. <CODE>sgt</CODE> is not a general |
|---|
| 7 | purpose graphics package, but provides the tools to enable scientific |
|---|
| 8 | graphics to be easily incorporated into applications or |
|---|
| 9 | <code>Applets</code>.</P> |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | <P>SGT has three main components, the {@link gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.JPane JPane}, |
|---|
| 12 | on which all graphics are drawn. The |
|---|
| 13 | {@link gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.Layer Layer}, of which several can be |
|---|
| 14 | associated with a single <CODE>JPane</CODE>, that insulates the |
|---|
| 15 | developer from device coordinates. And the |
|---|
| 16 | {@link gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.Graph Graph}, of |
|---|
| 17 | which a single instance can be associated with a <CODE>Layer</CODE>, |
|---|
| 18 | that transforms form user coordinates (e.g. cm/sec, time, etc) to the |
|---|
| 19 | layer coordinate system (physical coordinates). |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | <P>Examples demonstrating the use of SGT are available in the {@link |
|---|
| 22 | gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.demo demo} package. These examples show how to |
|---|
| 23 | create SGT applications from scratch and how to use the {@link |
|---|
| 24 | gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.swing.JPlotLayout JPlotLayout} utility class. A <A |

| 28 | <P>The gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.awt and gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.util packages have |
|---|
| 29 | been deprecated. The functionality in gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.swing and |
|---|
| 30 | gov.noaa.pmel.sgt.swing.prop completely replaces the deprecated |
|---|
| 31 | classes. |
