What can it do

The current version can do basic graphics, like drawing lines, text, pixels and ovals.

Who should use this

People that want to experiment with computer graphics using Eclipse and learn a thing or two about the SWT graphics capabilities.

Newbies

If you are new to Java and Eclipse, and you want to learn the language and IDE in a different way than the classical "Hello, World!" program.

Graphics Artists / Game Designers

SWT Canvas contains a "game loop" method ('public void draw()') that gets called 1 to 1000 times per second (depending on the set framerate).
