- -Piccolo is a general-purpose Java-based engine that supports 2D visualizations. -A primary characteristic of Piccolo is that it is designed to support zoomable -information spaces, although any particular applications may or may not -take advantage of this feature. Piccolo is implemented entirely in Java 2 (1.4), -and as such runs identically on any platform that supports Java 2.
- -Piccolo is not an application in itself, but rather it is an engine that is designed -to support applications that require the ability to create, manipulate, and render -object-oriented graphics. If you are familiar with the terminology of 3D graphics, -Piccolo supports a scenegraph. This is a data structure that represents a hierarchy -of graphical objects. Piccolo uses a tuned run-time system to render the scenegraph -as quickly as possible to support interactive applications.
