From: Thorsten Kiefer on 16 Jul 2010 05:27 Hi, I want to do some logical computations with my graphics cards. And now I'm wondering if all 16 logical operations of the GPU are available in Java. Are they ? There is something like Graphics.setPaintMode() and Graphics.setXORMode(...). But these are not sufficient for me. I guess Oracel doesn't find the 2D logical operations very useful and did not implement them. Is that the case ? Best Regards Toki

No. These libraries antedate Oracle's acquisition of Java, and no one knows if Sun found these operations "very useful" or not.

The Java class depends on the OS's libraries to do its dirty work. If those OS libraries use the graphics card's capabilities, then Java does on their coattails. As for the "16 logical operations", what do they have that 'java.awt.geom.AffineTransform' doesn't provide? -- Lew

It would be very slow, but you can process images bitwise and do the logical operation in Java. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com You encapsulate not just to save typing, but more importantly, to make it easy and safe to change the code later, since you then need change the logic in only one place. Without it, you might fail to change the logic in all the places it occurs.

I'm guessing these 16 functions: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_gate> I can see using java.util.BitSet. How would java.awt.geom.AffineTransform work? -- John B.
