Hi,
I need to design and create a greeting cards application that allows
the users to enter text and/or images to the front and the inside of
the card. The image needs to be resizable just incase it is too big.
Or the user can select from some predefined template and change the
image or text if neccessary. Which basically is a very simple greeting
cards appl...
My questions are,
1. what component will be best used for the card itself? I am thinking
of canvas, but i dont know if there will be any limitation that i will
face later down the road.... b/c if the user choose to create new
cards, i need to display 2 canvas, and have a browse for pictures
button, user will select a picture, drag and drop it on the canvas,
and resize it if neccessary. And at the mean time, create a textbox in
runtime - and enter freeform text to it. Is canvas the best choice?
2. as for image resize - similar to what you do in Microsoft Word -
when you import an image, you can drag the corner, and resize the
picture in runtime - -how do you do that in java, what API do you use?
3. Free form textbox - again - what API is best for this? and can you
give me some pointers on how to start on this? i am really puzzle on
this textbox piece.
thanks.
