What’s Next? Java GUI?

• V 2.23 now exposes GUI drawing classes for override

• Possible to create a Java GUI framework to solve platform problem

• Classes such as TVirtualX, TVirtualPad, TVirtualHistPainter, etc. need to be subclassed to provide interfaces to Java.

• Then their Java Native Interface counterpart classes must be created.

• Once this is done, people should be able to create a Java GUI that substitutes a “TJavaHistPainter” for the global gHistPainter object, etc. Then have a “TJavaPad” that histograms, etc., get painted to.

• This may not be a good solution

  • lots of work to duplicate full Root functionality
  • support nightmare
  • may be OK in short term for just these 3 classes
