Interface Graphics2DOutput

public interface Graphics2DOutput

A special interface for renderers that allows to replace the Graphics2D.

Several external libraries use to replace the Graphics2D of AWT in order to produce a file or on a printer in a given format. However it is not possible to link such libraries in the gs-core module of GraphStream. To avoid this problem, this interface defines a plug-in that must implement be able to yield a Graphics2D usable instead of the default one.
