Scenegraph Intro
Yesterday, Joshua Marinacci blogged about Scene graph here. A scene graph is a hierarchical representation of graphical objects in a scene. Scene graphs can handle input and they can be rendered. Swing also uses a scene graph model. The component positioning is limited to the position and size of the components. However, Java 2D is an intermediate mode API and is not a scene graph. With scene graph, you leave the system to figure out how it should draw the components. JavaFX script also uses a scene graph model and relies upon the scene graph model.
For more information on scene graph, check out the open source project here. You could also check out the presentation for more information on this topic.
