RE: [Rails-devel] Tiles are working... sorta.

[Erik V. <eri...@hc...>]

One little problem:
My version of java (1.4.2) does not have AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BICUBIC,
I have replaced it for now by AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR.

Another problem is that the map does not repaint correctly 
when the window regains focus.

How are we going to specify rotation?
I suggest to add an extra int argument to the GUIEWHex constructor,
which can range from 0-5 which indicates the number of 60 degrees 
clockwise turns to get at the actual orientation.

I suppose af.rotate() does the turning? Why is it 0.5 now?
Not clear to me how to tweak it to get our 60/120/180 deg rotations.

I'm now going add the rotations to the 1830 hex map based 
on the current output.

Erik.
