StdDraw

Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne's StdDraw provides a basic capability for creating drawings made up of points, lines, squares, circles, and other geometric shapes in a window, and for saving the drawings. It also includes facilities for text, color, pictures, and animation, along with user interaction via the keyboard and mouse.

A brief summary of (most of) the StdDraw API:

Examples

Many of these relate to fractals and chaos.

• Batch files: compile.bat and run.bat
   
  
• All the examples in one zipped file (164 KB)
   
  

Other Downloads and Links

• My copy of the StdDraw library (12 KB). Unzip this and place the libs folder in the same directory as the examples and batch files.
   
  
• Documentation for the library as a PDF file (366 KB).
   
  
• Web-based documentation, including API listings. There's more documentation in Section 1.5 of the website for "Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach" by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne (2017). Scroll down to the "Standard drawing" subheading.
   
  
• Many of the examples listed above can be found at Sedgewick and Wayne's website, inluding in Section 1.5 and here.
   
  
• StdDraw.java is part of a larger set of libraries which Sedgewick and Wayne package up as stdlib.jar (244 KB).
