Hello,

I use the copyArea() method in the java.awt.Graphics class. However,
this method is very slow. Other graphical methods also seem to be slow.
Are there any alternatives? I want to draw text, (dotted) lines and
rectangles and I want to move an area on the screen vertically.  The AWT
does not have a method for drawing dotted lines and can not underline
text. The AWT seems to be slow. What else can I use for drawing on
screen (and eventually printing)?

Thanks in advance.

Bas
