LayerRenderer - Java

LayerRenderer is a Java library that allows developers to easily create 2D or 3D graphics with various layers, or to render animation frames.

Features

• Support for 2D and 3D rendering
• Multiple layers can be rendered, each with its own properties
• Customizable properties such as transparency, color, and transform
• Support for creating animations by rendering multiple frames
• Implemented in pure Java, making it platform-independent

Installation

LayerRenderer can be downloaded from Maven by adding the following dependency to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.layerrenderer</groupId>
  <artifactId>layerrenderer</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Usage

Here's an example of how to use LayerRenderer:

import com.layerrenderer.Layer;
import com.layerrenderer.LayerRenderer;

public class LayerRendererExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a new layer renderer
        LayerRenderer renderer = new LayerRenderer();

        // Create some layers with different colors and transparency
        Layer redLayer = new Layer(800, 600, 1f, 0f, 0f);
        Layer greenLayer = new Layer(800, 600, 0f, 1f, 0f);
        Layer blueLayer = new Layer(800, 600, 0f, 0f, 1f);

        // Add the layers to the renderer
        renderer.addLayer(redLayer);
        renderer.addLayer(greenLayer);
        renderer.addLayer(blueLayer);

        // Render the layers to a BufferedImage
        BufferedImage image = renderer.render();

        // Do something with the image, such as display it in a JFrame
    }
}

In the above example, we create a LayerRenderer and add three Layer objects to it, each with a different color. We then call the render() method to render the layers to a BufferedImage, which can be used for various purposes such as displaying the image in a JFrame.

Conclusion

LayerRenderer is a powerful and flexible library for creating 2D and 3D graphics with multiple layers. With support for customizing each layer's properties and rendering animations, it is a great choice for developers who need to create complex and dynamic graphics in Java applications.
