Advice

[NotAGolf]

I'm starting to research into my final year project for my degree. Basically i'm looking into redoing the moving map on the in-flight-entertainment on planes, problem is I have limited programming experience. I'm most experienced in Java so would probably prefer to do it in this, but I have a bit of experience in C.

My question is does anyone know of libraries/classes which would help me out in this field? I've only used buffered images before in Java with very limited manipulation and i'm not sure whether this would be capable of what i'm looking for because I think I need something that has lots of 'drawing' abilities.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've just found out that java has the built in classes graphics and graphics2D, the 2D one sounds a bit promising. Has anyone used this much before? If so is it any good or are there better classes out there? Are there any good tutorials for fairly complex drawing that any knows of? Thanks
