• Simulate fuzzy phenomena with particle systems by Jeff Friesen   - [Clicks: 11]
  Computer graphics relies on polygon-based techniques to model and render classical geometry (cubes, cones, and other solids). The geometry of natural phenomena, such as fire, requires a different technique -- particle systems. This Java Fun and Games installment introduces you to particle systems and presents particle system software with three examples that simulate explosion rings, fireworks explosions, and vapor trails.

• Vocal Java by Jeff Friesen   - [Clicks: 21]
  This article introduces my Speaker assistive technology. Because Speaker depends on Sun's Java Speech API (Sun's preferred choice for supporting various speech technologies on any Java platform) and FreeTTS (my preferred Java Speech implementation for making Speaker speak), the article first reviews those technologies. I developed and tested this article's code with Sun's J2SE 5.0 SDK and FreeTTS 1.2.1. Windows 98 SE was the underlying platform.

• Using Rasters for Image Processing, Part 2 by Anghel Leonard   - [Clicks: 25]
  Part 2 will explain how to define a Raster/WritableRaster as a single object in a few different ways. First, you will learn how to create a raster from an array of pixels, from an Image, and from an BufferedImage object. You will also learn how to convert a raster to an Image/BufferedImage object and how to apply the Java2D filters to rasters. Complete applications for extracting rasters and for filter rasters with the ConvolveOp, AffineTransformOp and BandCombineOp classes are provided.

• Introduction to the Java Speech API by Nathan Tippy   - [Clicks: 22]
  Speech synthesis, also known as text-to-speech (TTS) conversion, is the process of converting text into human recognizable speech based on language and other vocal requirements. Speech synthesis can be used to enhance the user experience in many situations but care must be taken to ensure the user is comfortable with its use.

• Java Tech: Process Images with Imagician by Jeff Friesen   - [Clicks: 10]
  Imagician (rhymes with "politician") is my own Java application for opening, processing (using several built-in image-processing operations), and saving processed images. After introducing you to Imagician, this article highlights two important pieces of this application's architecture, a custom Java 2D image operator for embossing images, and the status bar component. While developing Imagician, I discovered a strange problem with javax.swing.ImageIcon. This article concludes by presenting that problem and its solution.

• The Java Podcasters, Part 1 by Chris Adamson   - [Clicks: 17]
  All you need to listen to a podcast is an MP3 player--iPods are nice, but your PC will do just fine--and the RSS feeds to get the new shows to you. In this article, we're highlighting five interesting Java-related podcasts with brief interviews of the podcasters. As you'll see, the field has already diversified, so tune in to discover something that might just catch your ear. This week, we talk with the voices of two of the best-known Java podcasts: The Java Posse and Swampcast. Next week, we'll continue with three more Java podcasts you might not know about, but should.
