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 a Logisim is restarted.

• Stretch Wires: When components are moved horizontally or vertically, Logisim attempts to insert wires to preserve connections. Future versions of Logisim will probably make this the default, without the capability to turn it off, but I wanted to give people the chance to test it and make suggestions.
