Rendering graphical elements through command line interface in Java

Is there a way to render graphical objects in console using standard jdk API?

For instance I want to render moving image in console (not via awt/swing).

The console itself can only render characters..

But if you mean you want to render an image from a command line app. (that is later displayed in other apps.) then yes, though the 'moving' part does not make much sense unless you mean an animated GIF.

No you cannot. The console renders characters so ASCII-art is your best choice. Also this has been answered before: displaying-images-in-a-console-application
