Well, this one is the base class for our experimental UI stuff .. yes.

Shows how you can 'simply' render the FPS to the screen.

Since these 'graph' demos are complicated, ie. use a lot of OO stuff
and since many people requested a more simple demo,
I will write smaller ones - probably when starting the review of our API.
I can't tell when I can do it, but probably before mid January,
depends on other work items.

This test is using the old AWT and 'bitmapped' based text renderer:
