Re: Dashboard effect in Java application



I think the main cause of performance slowness is rendering
not layout code

that because I have to calculate every transformed pixel
and it's not linear affine transform

for example for dashboard transform I have

float k1 = sinea / (float)w;
int xx = (int)Math.round(w*(1-cosa)+x*cosa);
float k = (positiveDirection)?(float)x:(float)(w-x);
int yy = (int)Math.round(y + (h/2-y)*k1 *k);//as you can see yy is a nonlinear function of x and y


where w is width of the image and h is height of it


aditionally for cube effect I have to keep coordinate of right side of the left image to equal to the coordinate
of the left side of right image:
so if left image rotate to angle alpha then right image should rotate to
float beta = 180*(float)Math.acos(1-cosa)/(float)Math.PI;



all of these manipulations take time, not differences between ArrayLists and vectors
besides the size of that vector is too small to worry about performance I think

Any reason why Vectors are used instead of faster ArrayLists? Is micro-level synchronization required?

I blindly searched for "Vector" (case sensitive, capitalized word only) and replaced it with "ArrayList" in the file AnimatingCardLayout.java and noticed no ill effects. Haven't rigorously measured performance differences yet...

Yes, letting the user set an animation frame rate (as in Java games) would be a nice feature -- display a slider to control it in the demo. :-)

Tres kool project, guys!
