Fonts and Graphics
Flicker Free Graphics, .GIF and .JPEG Display - Con't
Java makes it very easy to use graphics in JPEG and GIF format, even GIFs with transparency index, so it is no problem to display sprites for a game. The duck in this applet uses a transparent background color, the rose is a JPEG. For pictures with a large color palette (photos) you should always take JPEGs, for graphics that don't need many colors or need to be very sharp, you should prefer GIFs.
