I've written a few graphics apps in Java. I eventually wrote a (very 
simple) image-screen class which I could plot to pixel by pixel, then 
dump to the window when I wanted an update. Much easier than piddling 
around with the AWT!

But you're right, I still had to plumb that into some window container 
or whatever it was.

Those were indeed the days. Interpreted BASIC, where you could type that 
directly into the command prompt and see the dot appear on the other 
side of the screen.... *sighs*
