how to rotate a circle around it's axis i9n java2D

So i just learnt about affine transformation in java 2D and how each transformation behaves.So what i tried as a side project was to create a circle rotating around it's axis program,i tried translating first to the (0,0) then rotating by a degree then translating back to initial position,did that through 360 iterations with 1 degree increment but the circle still rotates out of that center points(although it goes back to its original point at last iteration).
here's what have done so far:
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
//Use of antialiasing to have nicer lines.
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
//The lines should have a thickness of 3.0 instead of 1.0.
BasicStroke bs = new BasicStroke(3.0f);
g2d.setStroke(bs);
//The GeneralPath to decribe the car.
//GeneralPath gp = new GeneralPath();
//Start at the lower front of the car.
g2d.setPaint(new Color(110, 100, 0));
RenderingHints rh = new RenderingHints(
RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
//Draw the car.
//g2d.fillOval(215, 135, 50, 50);
Shape s = new Ellipse2D.Double(160,160,40,40);
sustain(1000);
for(int i=0;i<360;i++) {
AffineTransform rotation = new AffineTransform();
rotation.setToRotation(Math.PI/180+i);
AffineTransform translate = new AffineTransform();
translate.setToTranslation(-160, -160);
AffineTransform translate2 = new AffineTransform();
translate2.setToTranslation(160, 160);
rotation.concatenate(translate);
translate2.concatenate(rotation);
clearWindow(g2d);
g2d.setPaint(new Color(110, 100, 0));
g2d.fill(translate2.createTransformedShape(s));
}

I've spent some time re-reading your question and looking over you code and I'm still unclear on
What it is you want to do and
What your problem is
But when has that ever stopped me from having a play 😉
Okay, so this has two circles (same shape) circling around a central point (translated) point.
Something to keep in mind is, transforms are accumulative, so you can see, between the second and third circle, I reset the transform (dispose of the graphics and take another snapshot) so my poor challenged brain doesn't get completely screwed up

I need it to rotate around its axis(have a circular motion in respect to its own center with out changing positions)
Okay, still not clear. If you want to rotate the object around it's centre point, but have it moving at the same time, then the order in which you apply your transformations is important.
For example, I'd translate it's position first, then rotate it, as it's easier to rotate about it's centre point without needing to calculate additional offsets

Java Graphics2D drawImage() and clip(): how to apply antialiasing?

The BufferedImage drawn by the drawImage and clip method of Java Graphics2D have jagged edges, how to apply antialiasing?
The code:
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("D:\\Pictures\\U\\U\\3306231465660486.jpg"));
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(new JPanel() {
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setColor(Color.RED);
g2d.drawLine(10, 10, 300, 100);
g2d.translate(50, 200);
g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(30), getWidth() / 2.0, getHeight() / 2.0);
g2d.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
g2d.clip(new Rectangle(-110, 110, 80, 110));
g2d.fill(new Rectangle(-100, 100, 100, 100));
}
});
frame.setSize(600, 600);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);

One solution is to blur the border of the image once you load it. You should also use the RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING with RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY.
This is the final result:
The full code is available below. Note that is uses a blur method described by Marco13 in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22744303/4289700.

For the image, it is sufficient to paint the image into another image that is 2 pixels larger, and then draw the resulting image with bilinear interpolation. So you can just pass your image through a method like this one:
private static BufferedImage addBorder(BufferedImage image)
{
BufferedImage result = new BufferedImage(
image.getWidth() + 2, image.getHeight() + 2,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g = result.createGraphics();
g.drawImage(image, 1, 1, null);
g.dispose();
return result;
}
The result will be this:

After this was answered, the question was updated to also ask about the clip method
Antialiasing the result of a clip operation may be more difficult. The clip operation is very hard "by nature" (and I assume that it eventually will be handled by something like a Stencil Buffer in hardware).
One approach to solve this could be do do the clipping manually. So instead of doing
g2d.clip(new Rectangle(-110, 110, 80, 110));
g2d.fill(new Rectangle(-100, 100, 100, 100));
you could do something like
Shape clip = new Rectangle(-110, 110, 80, 110);
Shape rectangleA = new Rectangle(-100, 100, 100, 100);
g2d.fill(clip(clip, rectangleA));
where the clip method is implemented to to manually compute the intersection of the shapes.
Note: Computing the intersection of two shapes can be rather expensive. If this becomes an issue, one might have to revise the approach. But on another note: I've heavily been doing Swing programming for ~20 years now, and cannot remember to ever have used the Graphics2D#clip method at all....
The difference between using Graphics2D#clip and the manual clipping is shown here:
and a closeup:

Difference between cyclic and acyclic gradient in java

I am currently learning Java GUI development and here I stuck at Gradient.
I want to know the difference Cyclic and Acyclic Gradient?

Cyclic Gradient
Can be simply put as pattern repeating itself on gradient area.
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GradientPaint;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
class GradientPane extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
Point2D.Float p1 = new Point2D.Float(150.f, 75.f); // Gradient line start
Point2D.Float p2 = new Point2D.Float(250.f, 75.f); // Gradient line end
float width = 300;
float height = 50;
GradientPaint g1 = new GradientPaint(p1, Color.WHITE, p2, Color.DARK_GRAY, true); // Cyclic
// gradient
Rectangle2D.Float rect1 = new Rectangle2D.Float(p1.x - 100, p1.y - 25, width, height);
g2D.setPaint(g1); // Gradient color fill
g2D.fill(rect1); // Fill the rectangle
g2D.setPaint(Color.BLACK); // Outline in black
g2D.draw(rect1); // Fill the rectangle
g2D.draw(new Line2D.Float(p1, p2));
}
}
public class CyclicGradientPaint {

JFrame window = new JFrame("Cyclic Gradient Paint");
window.setBounds(30, 30, 300, 300);
window.getContentPane().add(new GradientPane());
window.setVisible(true);
}
}
Acyclic Gradient
Pattern not repeating itself but widening itself as gradient area goes.

Graphics.drawImage() not drawing image

Image img = null;
try {
img = ImageIO.read(new File("pig.png"));
} catch (IOException e){
}
Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
I'm using this tutorial:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/images/
The program runs, but the image doesn't show up.

You have to use GUI component
You can simply use Swing,
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
class DemoPaint extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
Image picture = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("yourFile.gif");
g2.drawImage(picture, 10, 10, this);
g2.finalize();
}
}
public class DrawImageGraphics {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.setBounds(30, 30, 300, 300);
window.getContentPane().add(new DemoPaint());
window.setVisible(true);
}
}
I hope this will help.

Once you loaded picture into Image object, create a buffered image with transparency
BufferedImage bimage = new BufferedImage(img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Draw the image on to the buffered image
Graphics2D bGr = bimage.createGraphics();
bGr.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
bGr.dispose();

I copy/pasted your code and it drew the 2 ellipses you wrote about, the only change I made was to replace your MigLayout by null, set the frame and panel dimensions by hand and remove the frame.pack() invocation:

//g2d.drawOval(0, 0, 200, 200);
g2d.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 200, 200));
AffineTransform old = g2d.getTransform();
g2d.scale(10000, 10000);
g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(0.001f));
g2d.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 0.025, 0.025));
g2d.setTransform(old);
}
};
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(null);
circlePanel.setBounds(new Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 300));
frame.add(circlePanel);
frame.setBounds(0, 0, 350, 300);
//frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
Update:
Could reproduce the problem using the Oracle JDK (java version "1.8.0-ea") instead of the OpenJDK. Got the diamond shape, as pointed out in another answers, the scale factor is the root cause of the shape degenaration, don't know if that should be the appropiate behaviour though, so, there must be a bug in one these JRE's.
The following test program works fine for both JRE's:
import java.awt.BasicStroke;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Test {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
JPanel circlePanel = new JPanel() {
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(1));
//g2d.drawOval(0, 0, 200, 200);
g2d.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 200, 200));
AffineTransform old = g2d.getTransform();
g2d.scale(10, 10);
g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(1.0f));
g2d.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 25.0, 25.0));
g2d.setTransform(old);
}
};
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(null);
circlePanel.setBounds(new Rectangle(0, 0, 300, 300));
frame.add(circlePanel);
frame.setBounds(0, 0, 350, 300);
//frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

Replicated on Java 7, Windows 7 in Eclipse, removing the Layout Manager.
My feeling is that it's due to the combination of the high scaling and inaccuracies at small floating point values, reducing the number of points generated.
If you substitute values you find between 0.0363 and 0.0362 the rendering API breaks. It no longer generates an Arc, but instead a square.
The work-around is to stop combining the huge scaling with tiny sized objects. Scale down and increase the size.
