The Experimental tab

These preferences enable features that are considered experimental, inserted to garner user feedback.

• Graphics Acceleration: Several Logisim users have reported that Logisim seems quite slow at rendering graphics. One user observed that adding -Dsun.java2d.d3d=True to the command line seemed to address this completely. You can attempt to control this using a drop-down box. I haven't myself observed speed problems in Logisim, so I can't evaluate its effectiveness; I'm relying on user reports about whether this helps. Note that it certainly won't have any effect until Logisim is restarted.

Next: Command line options.
