None. Use java.awt.*; or such.

What about applications? Just the image handler get's an orthoBox where it 
draws the image. Yep, this is for pp but afterall the fenfire benefits 
from it because then it can show images also in nodes with awt.

Use approximation. For example cut from the edges. Probably you can 
double*n or half*n the size to get feeling about zooming =)  Tuomas also 
suggested something about thumbnails. Just need to forget dynamic 
scaling for speed issues.
