Pisces & String Picker

Steve just released a very important cn1lib that effectively provides developers with elaborate low level graphics primitives to draw pretty much everything on all platforms. The main use case for this library is for charts and graphs which up until now we had to do with the relatively limited graphics capabilities of Codename One (which are currently optimized for speed/portability).

Pisces is a rendering engine developed at Sun that was designed to be very portable, it performs all the rendering in Java and can thus do relatively advanced graphics even on J2ME devices that don't necessarily have such graphics capabilities. The downside is that it can't be fast since it effectively can't use the GPU.
