Language Java Nosugar Graphics Pall Code Kaosfire.java

//  Freely distributable, cannibalisable.
//
// bear in mind that this is a
// port from kaosfire.c written by Dr.Kaos (Matthew Pearce)
// to java by the Dustman (sunil@magnetic.demon.co.uk).
//
// in java you can't guarantee screen size, so this is 
// a lot more generic than the original C. However this comes
// at a price.
//
// Also, theres no way to plot a single pixel! You have to create
// an entire image everytime. Java API sucks for fast graphics.
//
// then the indexcolormodel is a kludge. rgb values are stored as 
// bytes which even though in java are signed so making values
// no bigger than 127, can store values upto 255.
//
// Finally, there is a bug in the java garbage collector when using
// image sources which means it has to be kicked off manually.
