Ok,  thanks.  I actually have the application partially done using
Java/Swing but I'm not sure if I can save to the drawings done with
Java2D to SVG, PDF, and PS,  and make high resolution images (PNG,
GIF, JPG),
and also produce WYSIWYG printer outputs?


How accurate is the screen DPI java2D draws compared to the higher DPI
resolutions of printers?  Will I be able to get WYSIWYG results for
images, vector drawings, and printer outputs?

Thanks,
Dan
