I will be doing a JavaFX 2.0 presentation tomorrow at the St. Louis Java Users Group. As part of the preparation I wanted to deploy a JavaFX 2.0 applet to the world. I have picked the Lissajous curve example to show off the JavaFX 2.0's Path API and the properties and bindings framework.

You can access the page through this link. It works only on Windows XP SP3 running 32-bit browsers, and Windows Vista or Windows 7 running 32-bit or 64-bit browsers. Here's a screenshot of the example running as Java Webstart:

The screen design is inspired by Brian Coyner's Core Animation Fun House that he presented at the West St. Louis CocoaHeads. Thanks Brian.

The JavaFX code took a couple of hours to finish. The source code can be found here.

I hope to see you tomorrow at the JUG. Well, it's close to midnight here. So if you read this blog entry tomorrow, (by the time you read it tomorrow, tomorrow would have become today) I hope to see you today.
