(...) It's surprisingly easy. Java actually doesn't suck! :) You just allocate a buffer, designate it as being a graphics buffer, and call functions to do graphics primitives. Here's an example -- not probably a great example because it's 3 years (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) How do you draw (pixels) in Java? Are there built-in functions, or would it require platform-specific code, or what? Or graphics library, perhaps? Steve (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) It's not *that* hard to go from the line drawings to raised forms. Especially since each numeral only needs to be done once. That LEGO logo and copyright notice, now. Those are a whole different level of challenge. Steve (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Another benefit of a Java version is that it's *much* easier to write networkable apps with Java than with C / C++. Parts updates can be automagically downloaded and installed from a "parts server"; alternatively, individual parts could be (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) This would contradict some existing standards. For example, all 2xN bricks and plates currently have the N oriented on the X axis. Under the stud-logo orientation, they'd have to all be rotated 90-degrees. Also, the stud-logo should be (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

LDraw and LDLite have the same problem, but to a lesser extent. That's why it's so important to remove the blank-face on decorated elements. Steve (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Except the actual text-parts are done in negative-space. There aren't any drawing commands for them in the part-file. If you delete the 3004.dat reference, the text disappears (because the background shows through where text should be). Steve (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, that all makes sense. What it needs is some optional lines, not hard-lines. No biggie. Like you said, this part goes inside the other (and as far as I know, won't attach to any other brick any other way). (...) I don't think this needs a (...)
