BufferedImage gets cut off after rotation

My code rotates the image by 0.4 degrees every "update", the image rotates in range [-10,+10] continuously.
The problem is that the buffered image gets cut off at the edges when it rotates, seems like the rotation changes the size that the bufferedImage needs but the size never updates, any ideas how i can get it to work?
protected double rotation = 0;
private double rotDir = 0.4;
private BufferedImage getRotatedSprite(){
if(Math.abs(rotation)>10)
rotDir=rotDir*(-1);
rotation+=rotDir;
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(bImage);
BufferedImage bImg = new BufferedImage(icon.getIconWidth(),
icon.getIconHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d= (Graphics2D)bImg.getGraphics();
g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(rotation), icon.getIconWidth()/2, icon.getIconHeight()/2);
g2d.drawImage(bImage, 0, 0, null);
return bImg;
}
public void drawSprite(Graphics g) {
BufferedImage image = getRotatedSprite();
if(customWidth != -1 && customHeight != -1){
g.drawImage(image, (int)locX, (int)locY, customWidth, customHeight, this);
}else
g.drawImage(image, (int)locX, (int)locY, this);
}

seems like the rotation changes the size that the bufferedImage
Yes the size will change based on the angle of rotation.
You may find it easier to use the Rotated Icon. It does the rotation for you and recalculates the size (if necessary). There is no need to create new BufferedImages, you just set the degrees of rotation.
Simple example. Use the slilder bar to rotate the icon:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Rotation3 extends JPanel
{
private Icon icon;
private RotatedIcon rotated;
private int degrees;
public Rotation3(Image image)
{
icon = new ImageIcon( image );
rotated = new RotatedIcon(icon, 0);
// rotated.setCircularIcon( true );
setDegrees( 0 );
setPreferredSize( new Dimension(600, 600) );
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
// translate x/y so Icon rotated around a specific point (300, 300)
int x = 300 - (rotated.getIconWidth() / 2);
int y = 300 - (rotated.getIconHeight() / 2);
rotated.paintIcon(this, g, x, y);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillOval(295, 295, 10, 10);
}
public void setDegrees(int degrees)
{
this.degrees = degrees;
rotated.setDegrees(degrees);
repaint();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
// String path = "dukewavered.gif";
String path = "lunch75.jpg";
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(Rotation3.class.getResourceAsStream(path));
final Rotation3 r = new Rotation3(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);

Java rotate image turns part of background black

When I try to rotate an image it appears that a part of the background turns black (my images are transparents)
Background white
Part of background turns black
Here's the code that rotate the image :
public BufferedImage rotate(int height, int width, BufferedImage originalImg, int angle) {
BufferedImage rotateImage = null;
try {
rotateImage = new BufferedImage(height, width, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
AffineTransform a90 = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(angle), height / 2, width / 2);
AffineTransformOp op90 = new AffineTransformOp(a90, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
op90.filter(originalImg, rotateImage);
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e);
}
return rotateImage;
}

So, I downloaded you "original" image (which is not square), modified it so it was square, run your code, got a java.awt.image.ImagingOpException: Unable to transform src image exception, changed BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB to BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB and got...
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(Main.class.getResource("/Block.jpg"));
BufferedImage rotate = rotate(img.getHeight(), img.getWidth(), img, 90);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img)));
panel.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(rotate)));
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, panel);
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static BufferedImage rotate(int height, int width, BufferedImage originalImg, int angle) {
BufferedImage rotateImage = null;
try {
rotateImage = new BufferedImage(height, width, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
AffineTransform a90 = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(angle), height / 2, width / 2);
AffineTransformOp op90 = new AffineTransformOp(a90, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
op90.filter(originalImg, rotateImage);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return rotateImage;
}
}
My, "gut" feeling is to also modify the rotate method, as it shouldn't need width and height values;
public static BufferedImage rotate(BufferedImage originalImg, int angle) {
BufferedImage rotateImage = null;
try {
rotateImage = new BufferedImage(originalImg.getWidth(), originalImg.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
AffineTransform a90 = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(angle), originalImg.getWidth() / 2, originalImg.getHeight() / 2);
AffineTransformOp op90 = new AffineTransformOp(a90, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_BILINEAR);
op90.filter(originalImg, rotateImage);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return rotateImage;
}
it should be using the original image's dimensions directly. This is will highlight possible errors in your images. This also assumes that you only want to rotate the image by increments of 90 degrees

Resize an ImageIcon for an JLabel

I created a class called VainillaImagen:
public VainillaImage(String url){
this.icimg=new ImageIcon(url);
this.imagen=new JLabel(this.icimg);
this.imagen.setVisible(true);
}
and then I created a methos called setDimensions that use another method called resizeVainillaImg. But the resizeVainillaImg method dont work any ideas why?
public void setDimensions(boolean wRel,int width,boolean hRel,int height){
Dimension dimPantalla = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
int nwidth,nheight;
if(wRel){
nwidth=(int)(width*(dimPantalla.width));
}else{
nwidth=width;
}
if(hRel){
nheight=(int)(height*(dimPantalla.height));
}else{
nheight=height;
}
resizeVainillaImg(nwidth,nheight);
}
public void resizeVainillaImg(int newWidth,int newHeight){
Image img = this.icimg.getImage();
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(newWidth,newHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics();
g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight,null);
g.dispose();
this.icimg = new ImageIcon(bi);
this.imagen.setIcon(this.icimg);
}

Although I didn't understand the setDimensions(), but I think you are trying to fit your image into screen width and height.
By multiplying int values of width and height in setDimensions(), you will simply be able to multiply small int numbers. For bigger numbers you will run out of memory because of huge image size (widthscreenwidth , heightscreenheight).
Lets assume you want to resize your image to percent of your screen, or use the default height and with of the image. Using the code below, pass negative number (-1 for example) to ignore the screen size, and 0> number to resize it to percent of screen.
I hope this help. However, it you have some other think in your mind, just remember to use float because of int * int multiplications :)

If you are trying to dynamically resize an Icon based on the space available to the label then check out Darryl's Stretch Icon.

Rotate BufferedImage shows black bound

I want to rotate a bufferedImage. The code I use makes it possible that the image rotates. But it cuts the image to a square. The screen shows then a black "border" on the left and the right side.
If I use debugging tool, the image width is about the whole width included the black "border". But the black "border" don't rotate, it's always at the left and the right side. And the image is missing the picture-parts left and right. The squared-image isn't cut again if I rotate it again. If I change the src.getWidth()-parts the image will be smaller with each rotation.
private static BufferedImage rotateImage(BufferedImage src, double degrees) {
AffineTransform affineTransform = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(
Math.toRadians(degrees), (src.getWidth() / 2), (src.getHeight() / 2));
BufferedImage rotatedImage = new BufferedImage(src.getWidth(), src.getHeight(), src.getType());
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) rotatedImage.getGraphics();
g.setTransform(affineTransform);
g.drawImage(src, 0, 0, null);
return rotatedImage;
}
public void rotateImage(int degree) {
if (this.image != null) {
this.setImage(myJComponent.rotateImage(this.image, degree));
}
}

The size of the image will change as you rotate it.
Here is some code to play with:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;

public Rotation(BufferedImage image)
{
this.image = image;
}
private BufferedImage getImage(double theta)
{
// Determine the size of the rotated image
double cos = Math.abs(Math.cos(theta));
double sin = Math.abs(Math.sin(theta));
double width = image.getWidth();
double height = image.getHeight();
int w = (int)(width * cos + height * sin);
int h = (int)(width * sin + height * cos);
// Rotate and paint the original image onto a BufferedImage
BufferedImage out = new BufferedImage(w, h, image.getType());
Graphics2D g2 = out.createGraphics();
g2.setPaint(UIManager.getColor("Panel.background"));
g2.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
double x = w/2;
double y = h/2;
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(theta, x, y);
x = (w - width)/2;
y = (h - height)/2;

g2.drawRenderedImage(image, at);
g2.dispose();
return out;
}

label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
return label;
}

slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener()
{
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
{

BufferedImage bi = getImage(Math.toRadians(value));
label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(bi));
}
});
return slider;
}

{
public void run()
{
try
{
String path = "mong.jpg";
ClassLoader cl = Rotation.class.getClassLoader();
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(cl.getResourceAsStream(path));
Rotation r = new Rotation(bi);
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(r.getLabel()));
f.getContentPane().add(r.getSlider(), "South");
f.pack();
f.setLocation(200,200);
f.setVisible(true);
}
catch(IOException e)

Just change the image you want to read and use the slider to rotate the image.

Trying to paint image to JFrame with Java BufferedImage, Graphics

I'm trying to capture the screen and then paint the image to a JFrame recursively while scaling the image (to create that effect you get when you look at a mirror in a mirror).

I still have the same problem where I don't know how to make the BufferedImage paint to the graphics.

would separate out your Swing code from your recursive image creation code. In fact consider creating a static method that creates and returns the BufferedImage and that has no Swing code in it. Then have your GUI call the method when it wishes, and take the image and either write it to disk or display it in a JLabel's ImageIcon.
When I did this (today in fact), I created a recursive method with this signature
private static void recursiveDraw(BufferedImage img, Graphics imgG, double scale) {
and with this method body (in pseudo-code)
start recursiveDraw method
// most important: all recursions must have a good ending condition:
get img height and width. If either <= a min, return
create a BufferedImage, smlImg, for the smaller image using the height,
width and scale factor
Get the Graphics object, smlG, from the small image
Use smlG.drawImage(...) overload to draw the big image in shrunken
form onto the little image
recursively call recursiveDraw passing in smlImg, smlG, and scale.
dispose of smlG
draw smlImg (the small image) onto the bigger one using the bigger's
Graphics object (passed into this method) and a different
overload of the drawImage method.
end recursiveDraw method
This algorithm resulted in images like:
For example:

Don't call getGraphics(). Override paint(Graphics)1 & use the supplied Graphics instance.
When using Swing, it is actually best to override the paintComponent(Graphics) method of a JComponent or JPanel. Then add that to the top-level container.

Is this what you are hoping for :

Here is the output :

Get rid of the recursion. Create a single buffered image of the correct size and create a Graphics object for it. Just use a loop to draw progressively smaller scaled images down to whatever threshold you choose. Finally use g.drawImage() inside paintComponent() to draw your image to the screen. If you keep the recursion you need to pass the image and continually overlay the scaled down image. You do not need to return anything from the method.
