FXGraphics2D
Version 2.1, 3 October 2020.
Overview
FXGraphics2D is a free implementation of Java's Graphics2D
API that targets the JavaFX Canvas. It makes it possible to reuse existing Java2D code in a JavaFX application.
The code has been developed for the use of Orson Charts (http://www.object-refinery.com/orsoncharts/) and JFreeChart (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart). Numerous demos can be found in the JFree-FXDemos project page at GitHub.

Implementation Notes
(1) Initial versions of the JavaFX Canvas did not have support for dashed lines. We submitted this feature request:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8097787
The feature was added in Java 1.8.0_40.
(2) In performance testing we have noted that path rendering is not as fast as it could be. This is confirmed by this bug report:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092373
