Alternatives to drawing with Swing components

We're making a program that are required to draw about 200000 lines of different kinds. At the moment we are using Swing to draw on a component, but it really isn't fast enough.

The question: Are there any faster way to draw lines, than the Swing library. Is AWT faster, is OpenGL the way to roll (and is it fas开发者_如何学JAVAter) and so on.

With the little information you provide the only thing i can recommend you is to try to use the class :

javafx.scene.shape.Line;

I think you are probably ussing.

java.awt.geom.Line2D;

awt components used to be in applets and they are heavyweight if you use them, that might be a reason of your performance issues.

Have a look at JavaFX ( www.javafx.com ) maybe you find some component that suits your needs(faster).
