Hello,
    Thanks for the Agile2D lead. I'll look into that but this doesn't really
help my situation. That situation being that where I am working all applications
produced will be using the "standard" Sun Java2D and 1.4.1_01 on a Windows
platform. This is why I moved over (or at least I'm trying to move over) to
1.4.1 from the Borland 1.3.1 JDK that I originally developed on. To me it looks
like the graphics "performance" improvements Sun has put into the Java2D with
1.4.1 have "broken" what use to work nicely for me in 1.3.1. I was looking for
some possible work around. I've tried sending this mail to comp.lang.java.help
but I cann't seem to get my message posted there.
