Accerlation of Applets

Java 2D
#1

Hi there!

I am just interrested wether running a java-application as applet (= in the browser window, not as a seperate one) does bother the rendering pipelines.

e.g. I imagine its quite hard to use OpenGL or D3D surfaces in a browser, since the browser has to take care about the whole clipping-stuff and so on.

So do applets bother the pipeline and if yes, how? What extra operations have to be done and what does this mean for performance?

Thank you in advance, lg Joe

There’s no difference from the point of used pipelines between applets and
applications - you get the exact same acceleration for an applet as you’d if
you run it as a standalone app.

Thanks,
