This tutorial book was written to interactively display technical information, demos, and code to help the user learn more about Java Advanced Imaging. The book-like format allows turning of pages, selection of pages via an index, and display of demos with associated source code via tabs. Technical information, interactive demos, and source code are readily accessible. Source code is also available for the display widgets used in the tutorial. This code can be found in the distribution's src directory.
To access the index, click on the left page tab labeled "Index." Technical discussions are obtained by clicking the right page tab labeled "Text." Selecting an item from the index will load the appropriate page. Use the arrows next to the page numbers at the bottom to move back and forth a single page. Technical discussions are typically partitioned into three sections:
Demo - gives instructions about how to use the demo located on the right page. JAI - gives technical descriptions of Java Advanced Imaging features being demonstrated. Theory - gives brief theoretical descriptions of demonstrated topics.
The right page of the book contains interactive demos. Toggle between running the demo and viewing source code by clicking on the "Demo" or "Code" tabs, respectively. The top page label will show the currently selected option. The source code shown is the actual source code used for the current demo. For example, the demo on the right page contains a magnifier window which can be moved by clicking and dragging the mouse in the image window. The button located in the lower right hand corner of the page near the page number allows moving to the next page. The book can be resized and for pages larger than the book, scrollbars are available for scrolling.
