Example of Creating a Custom Pilot

Example of Creating a Custom Pilot

The examples directory contains the file SGFPilot.java, which demonstrates how to make a pilot. This sample pilot knows how to render files in simple graphics format (SGF) for displaying vector graphics, created especially for this example. An SGF file contains ASCII text that describes the GFX primitives to render, followed by some parameters.

The example creates a lightweight pilot that just paints the data. This allows you to embed it into HTML 4 documents. For more information, see the comments in SGFPilot.java.
