Biography

Vincent J. Hardy — Vincent Hardy is working at Sun Microsystems, Inc. in Menlo Park, CA, where he is focusing on Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an XML syntax for 2D vector graphics. Vincent is a member of the SVG W3C Working Group, the author of "Java 2D API Graphics" (Prentice Hall) and a regular columnist for the Java Report (about the Java 2D API).

The presentation will discuss both Java 2D and SVG graphic concepts and rendering model, compare them and discuss how they complement each other. In particular, the presentation will show how SVG specifies static or dynamic graphical data, wherease the Java 2D API is a rendering engine. As an illustration, the presentation will discuss how SVG content can be generated on the Java platform and how SVG content can be viewed on the Java platform.
