[Jprogramming] Is there a standard graphics library for J7?

[km]

I use the iPad version for casual use, the JHS version for serious use, have avoided GTK.

I have just acquired the Android version for my smartphone -- it is different from the iPad version and, I suppose, the iPhone version if the latter exists.

There have been a variety of graphics "libraries" supported in JHS, perhaps Eric could comment.

I want to point out you can set up use of JHS in parallel browser windows, left window for execution, right window an ijs file; so the "feel" (to me) is  much like J6.
