Rendering in JavaFX with the New Canvas Feature

JavaFX introduces a new paradigm that frees developers from the hassles of a graphics engine to focus more on simply choosing the best attributes to make their applications look their best. Sometimes the structure of an application more directly translates into specific graphics operations. JavaFX 2.2 introduces a new Canvas node that enables developers to express their rendering in terms of an immediate-mode graphics object, much as with the HTML5 canvas element or Swing JPanels with their graphics context objects. This session demonstrates the new feature and shows how it can be used to quickly produce results for these legacy types of applications without translation into the foreign model of a scene graph.
