Accessing and creating basic graphic objects

The classes that represent basic graphic objects are listed in Graphic objects in The Essential JViews Framework, which also gives information on how to use the supplied objects.
You can customize the supplied graphic objects in terms of colors, dimensions, and other properties. If you need to assemble an object constructed from several basic objects, consider using composite graphics instead, see Composite graphics in Java code.
You can also use compiled symbols generated by the Symbol Compiler from the palette symbols designed with the Symbol Editor. For details, see Using compiled symbols at the Graphic Framework level.
If you require a new graphic object that can be implemented by specializing a supplied graphic object, or a completely new graphic object, you can create the required object by subclassing. For an example, see Creating a new graphic object class in The Essential JViews Framework.
