Here's some code that EarthWEB's Alex Chaffee likes to use as an example of how Java can be used to simplify alGorithms by combining graphics with threading to render complex graphics.
Basically there are three threads: a Renderer, which perfORMs a complex calculation; an Animator, which wakes up periodically and draws the current image to the screen; and of course the default User Interface thread, which responds to user events and changes the display as appropriate.
The Renderer runs at a low priority—just grinding away forever, or at least until it's done; it shouldn't interfere with the other two threads. The Animator only comes to life every 500 msec or so, to avoid the expense of drawing each pixel.
To perfoRM a specific calculation, subclass the Renderer to make a Mandelbrot function. Note the object-oriented design: this way, the Mandelbrot subclass only needs to override the Run method and doesn't have to worry about the threading implementation, which is handled by its superclass. Of course, in this example, the threading implementation is trivial, but this is a teaching exercise.
Other items of note are the use of an offscreen Graphics buffer, and the use of progressive rendering. The code makes several rough passes over the image, calculating the value in each quadrant, then gradually refines the view. Unlike .netscape's rendering of progressive gifs, this program treats a calculated pixel as the "center" of a square of color, not as the top corner or a pixel-wide stripe, and so avoids that odd venetian-blind scrolling-up effect. With a laugh, Chaffee says, "But maybe I'm the only one in the world who thought Netscape's gif-rendering algorithm looked funny." now , see Chaffee's source code
