What would be the best cross-platform GUI library to use for a vector
based CAD program ( something like Visio on Windows ) WxWidgets,
Tk, PyQt, Java Swing, Java SWT,????

Normally you would use Swing unless you had some pressing need for
something else. SWT is a stripped down Swing you would use in
conjunction with Jet when you need high speed, but you are willing to
give up platform independence.

Swing is the only one you will get much help with on newsgroups.

AWT is used when you want to support ancient browsers with ancient
Javas.

Ok, thanks. I actually have the application partially done using
Java/Swing but I'm not sure if I can save to the drawings done with
Java2D to SVG, PDF, and PS, and make high resolution images (PNG,
GIF, JPG),
and also produce WYSIWYG printer outputs?


How accurate is the screen DPI java2D draws compared to the higher DPI
resolutions of printers? Will I be able to get WYSIWYG results for
images, vector drawings, and printer outputs?

Thanks,
Dan
