FX Experience Has Gone Read-Only

I've been maintaining FX Experience for a really long time now, and I love hearing from people who enjoy my weekly links roundup. One thing I've noticed recently is that maintaining two sites (FX Experience and JonathanGiles.net) takes more time than ideal, and splits the audience up. Therefore, FX Experience will become read-only for new blog posts, but weekly posts will continue to be published on JonathanGiles.net. If you follow @FXExperience on Twitter, I suggest you also follow @JonathanGiles. This is not the end - just a consolidation of my online presence to make my life a little easier!

tl;dr: Follow me on Twitter and check for the latest news on JonathanGiles.net.

A quiet week this week, but there are a few good links for you to check out:

  • David Gilbert has released FXGraphics2D 1.5, an update to his library that provides a bridge from Java2D to the JavaFX Canvas.  This release provides an option (via rendering hints) to use the JavaFX text measurement API instead of the AWT equivalent.  This gives better results for text placement in JFreeChart.
  • Jeff Martin has posted a short video demonstrating the UI builder abilities of his SnapCode software, which can deploy to the desktop and browser.
  • Samir Hadzic has a blog post about TreeTableView and sorting.
