The primary goal of the Java Graphics Scripting Language (JGSL) is to create a simple yet powerful language that will allow non-programmers to access the graphics capabilities of Java.

There are many scripting languages available in the Java open source arena but the JGSL will distinguish itself by providing a programming environment focused on computer graphics. This language can be a useful tool for teaching non-technical users the concepts and uses of computer.

The selection of the Java platform for the basis of this scripting language is a natural one. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) offers feature rich object-oriented language that provides type safety, automatic memory management, multi-threading and platform neutral code execution.

The Java 5 Standard Edition (version 1.5) platform contains the Java Application Programming Interface (API), which provides a rich set of 2D and 3D graphics capabilities.

The JGSL will use and extend these capabilities to implement its scripting language environment. Get JGSL and take it for a test drive to see what it's all about!
