Week 9 Exercises

1. Write a stand-alone application which allows the user to edit some text in multiple windows. (You'll probably want to use a TextArea and a BorderLayout in each Frame. ) Include standard File and Edit menus as discussed in class. At a minimum the File menu should have New, Open, Close, Save, Save As..., Print, and Quit menu items. The Edit menu should have Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, Select All, and Undo menu items. The New menu item should bring up a new text editing window. The Close menu item should close the current window. The Quit menu item should exit the application. All other menu items should be disabled for now. Include the standard shortcuts for those menu items that have them, (e.g. N for New, C for Copy, and so on )

2. Write an image filter that produces a negative of an image. The basic algorithm here is to subtract the value of each color from 255. For example a red value of 200 would be transformed into a red value of 255 - 200 = 55.

   Note: I'm not 100% sure this will actually produce a photographic negative. Consider this an experiment.
