Trying to paint an image in java

int x = 0;
int y = 0;
Image img;
Screen screen;
GamePanel() {
setBounds(0, 0, 600, 600);
setLayout(null);
setVisible(true);
setBackground(new Color(100, 0, 0));
screen = new Screen();
screen.setBounds(0, 0, 600, 600);
add(screen);
img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("monster.jpg");
}
public void repaintScreen(){
screen.repaint();
}
private class Screen extends JLabel{
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawRect(10, 10, 100, 100);
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
}
}
Hello I am trying to draw an Image but it never works. I also tryed to load the image in Different ways but allways the same. But there is noch warning so something like that showing up.
But when I put it as an Icon in an JLable it works.

final BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\image.png"));
Confused are you trying to draw to a JPanel/JFrame?
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/images/
final BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\image.png"));
GamePanel gamePanel;
JPanel pane = new JPanel() {
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
}
};
gamePanel(or screen).add(pane);
}

Rotating a wheel in Java using Swing and Graphics2D?

I am working on a class that can rotate a wheel around the center. The wheel is created using graphics2d, but I can not figure out exactly how to get the wheel to rotate around the center.
Currently, the wheel rotates, but not exactly about the origin.
My ultimate goal here is to create the wheel so that it is multicolored as well as a program around it, but my main concern here is getting the rotating wheel to work. If you could point me in the right direction I would be forever grateful!
Here is my current code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.*;
public class RotateApp {
private static final int N = 3;
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setLayout(new GridLayout(N, N, N, N));
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new RotatePanel());
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
System.out.println();
}
});
}
}
class RotatePanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
private static final int SIZE = 256;
private static double DELTA_THETA = Math.PI / 90;
private final Timer timer = new Timer(25, this);
private Image image = RotatableImage.getImage(SIZE);
private double dt = DELTA_THETA;
private double theta;
public RotatePanel() {
this.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(
image.getWidth(null), image.getHeight(null)));
this.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
image = RotatableImage.getImage(SIZE);
dt = -dt;
}
});
timer.start();
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.translate(this.getWidth() / 2, this.getHeight() / 2);
g2d.rotate(theta);
g2d.translate(-image.getWidth(this) / 2, -image.getHeight(this) / 2);
g2d.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
theta += dt;
repaint();
}
#Override

return new Dimension(SIZE, SIZE);
}
}
class RotatableImage {
private static final Random r = new Random();
static public Image getImage(int size) {
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(
size, size, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d = bi.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(
RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.getHSBColor(r.nextFloat(), 1, 1));
g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(10.0f));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0, 100, 100, 100));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(100, 100, 200, 100));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(100, 0, 100, 100));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(100, 100, 100, 200));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(25, 25, 100, 100));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(100, 100, 175, 175));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(175, 25, 100, 100));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(100, 100, 25, 175));
g2d.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 200, 200));
g2d.dispose();
return bi;
}
}

You can use the Rotated Icon class to do the rotation for you so you don't have to worry about all the rotation logic and the rotation logic is in a reusable class.
An example of using this class would be:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;

private RotatedIcon rotated;
private int degrees;
public Rotation4(Image image)
{
setLayout( new GridBagLayout() );
Icon icon = new ImageIcon( image );
rotated = new RotatedIcon(icon, 0);
rotated.setCircularIcon(true);
label = new JLabel(rotated);
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setBackground(Color.RED);
add(label, new GridBagConstraints());
setDegrees( 0 );
}
public void setDegrees(int degrees)
{
this.degrees = degrees;
rotated.setDegrees( degrees );
label.revalidate();
label.repaint();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
Image bi = RotatableImage.getImage(210);
final Rotation4 r = new Rotation4(bi);
final JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 360, 0);
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener()
{
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
{
int value = slider.getValue();
r.setDegrees( value );
}
});
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.add(new JScrollPane(r));
f.add(slider, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
f.setSize(400, 400);
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
static class RotatableImage
{
private static final Random r = new Random();
static public Image getImage(int size)
{
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(size, size, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d = bi.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.getHSBColor(r.nextFloat(), 1, 1));
g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(10.0f));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(5, 105, 205, 105));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(105, 5, 105, 205));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(35, 35, 175, 175));
g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(175, 35, 35, 175));
g2d.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(5, 5, 199, 199));
g2d.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g2d.fillOval(100, 100, 10, 10);
g2d.dispose();
return bi;
}
}
}
Note I also had to make changes with your image and your painting. These changes will need to be made whether you use the RotatedIcon or do the rotation code yourself:
The image size was changed to 210. This is because your stroke size is 10, so you need to account for the extra pixels in the circle outline.
You need to change the original of the circle by half the stroke size. So in this case the origin becomes (5, 5).
The size of the oval needs to be changed to 199. This is because of the way the outline of the oval is painted. 1 extra pixel is needed for the outline. If you leave the size at 200 then 1 pixel of the outline will be lost. This is not very noticeable when using a stroke size of 10, but if you use a size of 1, then the outline will be missing at the right and bottom edges.
The locations of your lines needs to be changes. you don't want the line right to the edge of the circle because then you will get a flat line at the edge instead of the rounded line. So I started the line 5 pixels from the start and ended it 5 pixels from the end.

Ok, with little modification and fewer "spokes", I got your wheel rotate centric (1.) and multicolor (2.):
UPDATE on 1.) To make centric rotation in your (original) code just chage SIZEto 200!

Explanation:
So the "wobble" in your solution came from the fact, that you sized the image and the container/panel 256x256, but "based" your wheel layout on 200x200 only. I fixed all dimensions, and drew a correct cross, the g2d.rotate(theta,128,128); (!) relates then to the center.
Multi-color(easy): You can invoke setPaint() between each shape! ;)

Java JFrame draw

I'm currently working with JFrame and I'm trying to draw a rectangle but I don't know how to execute the code paint(Graphics g), how do I get the Graphics object?
package com.raggaer.frame;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Frame {
private JFrame frame;
public Frame() {
this.frame = new JFrame("Java Snake");
this.frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.frame.setSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
// DRAW??
this.frame.setVisible(true);
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawRect(10, 10, 200, 200);
}
}

Just call frame.repaint() (which should be called once automatically) to make it repaint the graphics. No need to provide your own Graphics object.
Side note, you should be using a JPanel with paintComponent(Graphics) instead. This will make handling of events a lot easier, especially for a game like snake.
Here is a small code example on Stack Overflow: Java drawing on JPanel which on a JFrame
And one I made myself with usage of Java 8:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
/**
* #author Obicere
*/
public class PaintExample {
public PaintExample() {
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Paint Example");
final MyPanel panel = new MyPanel();
frame.add(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(PaintExample::new);
}
public class MyPanel extends JPanel {
#Override
public void paintComponent(final Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
g.fillOval(0, 0, 50, 50);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawOval(0, 0, 50, 50);
g.drawLine(20, 10, 20, 20);
g.drawLine(30, 10, 30, 20);
g.drawArc(15, 15, 20, 20, 180, 180);
g.drawString("Drawing with swing!", 10, 100);
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(400, 400);
}
}
}
As request of your comment, I also modified the program to display objects upon request:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.util.LinkedList;
/**

public class PaintExample {
public PaintExample() {
final JFrame frame = new JFrame("Paint Example");
final MyPanel panel = new MyPanel();
frame.add(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(final String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(PaintExample::new);
}
public class MyPanel extends JPanel {
private final LinkedList<SmileyFace> faces;
public MyPanel() {
faces = new LinkedList<>();
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
faces.add(new SmileyFace(e.getX(), e.getY()));
MyPanel.this.repaint(); // Refresh the display on the screen
}
});
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(final Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
faces.stream().forEach((e) -> e.render(g));
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(400, 400);
}
}
public class SmileyFace {
private final int x;
private final int y;
public SmileyFace(final int x, final int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public void render(final Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
g.fillOval(x, y, 50, 50);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawOval(x, y, 50, 50);
g.drawLine(x + 20, y + 10, x + 20, y + 20);
g.drawLine(x + 30, y + 10, x + 30, y + 20);
g.drawArc(x + 15, y + 15, 20, 20, 180, 180);

How to paint specific coordinates of one JPanel onto another JPanel

This is my problem :
I have one JPanel and i paint in this panel one rectangle ex. 100x100.
In another JPanel I wouldlike show/paint fragments on first JPanel ex. 50x50, but if I change first JPanel, another JPanel change too (dont copy graphics or Panel)
What I can do this?
First Panel Second Panel
Public class Okienko extends JFrame {
Panel p = new Panel();
public Okienko(){
//setLayout(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
add(p);
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
private class Panel extends JPanel{
public Panel(){
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,400));
setBackground(Color.red);
setVisible(true);
}
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
super.paint(g2);
g2.setColor(Color.blue);
g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Float(100,100,100,100));
g2.setColor(Color.green);
g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Float(50,50,50,50));
}
}
private class Panel2 extends Panel{
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
//I would like to show/paint only fragment painted Panel, ex. 50x50 (only show one rectangle)
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Okienko o = new Okienko();
}
}

So this is what you need to do.
You need to save the first JPanel's Graphics context to a BufferedImage. Here is a helper method, I used in the example program below
BufferedImage bi;
....
private void setImage(JPanel panel) {
Dimension d = panel.getPreferredSize();
int w = (int)d.getWidth();
int h =(int)d.getHeight();
bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics();
panel.paint(g);
g.dispose();
}
This saves the entire JPanel to a BufferedImage.
Use that BufferedImage to paint on the second JPanel. Use whatever coordinates you want. Use this method from Graphics class
public abstract boolean drawImage(Image img,
int dx1,
int dy1,
int dx2,
int dy2,
int sx1,
int sy1,
int sx2,
int sy2,
ImageObserver observer)
img - the specified image to be drawn. This method does nothing if img is null.
dx1 - the x coordinate of the first corner of the destination rectangle.
dy1 - the y coordinate of the first corner of the destination rectangle.
dx2 - the x coordinate of the second corner of the destination rectangle.
dy2 - the y coordinate of the second corner of the destination rectangle.
sx1 - the x coordinate of the first corner of the source rectangle.
sy1 - the y coordinate of the first corner of the source rectangle.
sx2 - the x coordinate of the second corner of the source rectangle.
sy2 - the y coordinate of the second corner of the source rectangle.
observer - object to be notified as more of the image is scaled and converted.
g.drawImage(bi, 0, 0, 200, 200, 0, 0, 50, 50, this);
Here's the result
Here's the full code

}
}
private static class PanelTwo extends JPanel {

public PanelTwo() {
setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));

private void setImage(JPanel panel) {
Dimension d = panel.getPreferredSize();
int w = (int)d.getWidth();
int h =(int)d.getHeight();
System.out.println(d);
bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
This code is clearify for me.
Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics();
You create blank BufferedImage and init to Graphics2D?
panel.paint(g);
You paint graphics context on panel and copy to bi?
g.dispose();
You release g.
}

make whole jinternalframe transparent

Right now I am making my jinternal frames transparent using this code:
double rgbConversionBackpack = Double.parseDouble(MyClient.configFile.getProperty("BACKPACK_FRAME_ALPHA"));
double tmp = (rgbConversionBackpack / 100.0) * 255.0;
this.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(140, 0, 0, (int)tmp));
this.setOpaque(false);
I have code on the sliders to set the alpha which all works perfectly and saves it to a properties file, yada, yada, yada. The question is how do I make the entire JInternal Frame transparent.
Right now I have only be able to set the content pane, and any other panels (etc) that are in the jinternal frames transparent, but I want to make the entire JinternalFrame(borders and all) transparent.
Screenshot below shows how on the backpack the red tinted are is partially transparent and looks decent, but still want the border to be transparent also.
Is there a way to override the draw super method for each of my classes the extend JInternalFrame to have it draw semi transparent(depending on value obviously)?

You could do this by changing the AlphaComposite that the JInternalFrame's paint method uses. You have to be careful though to repaint the containing top level window at the location of the transparent component lest you have funny side effects. For example:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
