Benefits of RetroCapture
While RetroCapture is written in 100%-pure Java and can be
integrated directly with your Java
web-application, it can also be used in
command-line mode or in
server mode. This flexibility enables
integration with web-applications written in any language.
Benefits of RetroCapture include:
- Text warping in the images uses our proprietary 'pixel warp' anti-aliasing
technology, providing fast image generation and very high-quality images that
are free of pixelation artifacts.
- Image styles can be easily customized using a stylesheet file.
- There is no dependency on the Java AWT, so that RetroCapture can be used
in 'headless' server systems without need for special setup.
(*)
- RetroCapture can be used to provide CAPTCHA-based security images for any
web-application, through its range of integration methods.
(*) In principle, the JDK-1.4-and-later option
java -Djava.awt.headless=true ... can be used to enable some AWT
operations on a server without graphics hardware. However, some X11 support
does have to be installed for this to work, and many AWT operations will still
fail at run-time. RetroCapture uses its own imaging and GIF-export libraries
and so is completely independent of these Java AWT deficiencies.
