So why, oh why, isn't this information in the API documentation of Image.getScaledInstance()? Apparently this is known since Java 1.2, which is how many years ago now? Eight, nine years? And no one of those few knowing about it could be bothered to add a note to the API documentation? And you are surprised that programmers don't do things the way you think they should do them?
In general, why is so much information about AWT, Swing, 2D treated as a secret, instead of putting it where developers could actually find it - in the API documentation? An occasional conference presentation, some web article or yet another Java book doesn't cut it. Put the information there where programmers are looking for it - in the API documentation. Don't save it for a rainy day to put it into some web article or whatever. |
