I am writing a darts application, and have implemented a Dartboard which is painted as a BufferedImage.
When rendering the dartboard, I first iterate over the co-ordinates of the BufferedImage and calculate the 'segment' that it resides in. I wrap this up into a DartboardSegment, which is basically just a collection of points with a small amount of extra structure (what number on the board it corresponds to, etc).
Currently, to actually render the dartboard I paint each point individually, like the following:
for (Point pt : allPoints)
{
DartboardSegment segment = getSegmentForPoint(pt);
Color colour = DartboardUtil.getColourForSegment(segment);
int rgb = colour.getRGB();
int x = (int)pt.getX();
int y = (int)pt.getY();
dartboardImage.setRGB(x, y, rgb);
}
Obviously this takes some time. It's not an intolerable amount (~2-3s to paint a 500x500 area), but I'd like to eliminate this 'lag' if I can. In other areas of my application I have encountered alternate methods (such as Graphics.fillRect()) which are much faster.
I've seen that there is a fillPolgyon() method on the Graphics class, however I don't think I can easily convert my segments into polygons because their shapes vary (e.g. the shape of a triple, a circle for the bullseye...). Is there a faster way in java to paint an arbitrary array of Points at once, rather than looping through and painting individually?
The code that I want to write is something like:
for (DartboardSegment segment : allSegments)
{
Color colour = DartboardUtil.getColourForSegment(segment);
Polgyon poly = segment.toPolygon();
Graphics gfx = dartboardImage.getGraphics();
gfx.setColor(colour);
gfx.fillPolygon(poly);
}
I don't think I can easily convert my segments into polygons because their shapes vary (e.g. the shape of a triple, a circle for the bullseye...)
Here is something that may give you some ideas.
You can create Shape objects to represent each area of the dartboard:
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class Dartboard extends JPanel
{
private ArrayList<DartboardSegment> segments = new ArrayList<DartboardSegment>();
private int size = 500;
private int radius = size / 2;
private int border = 25;
private int doubleSize = size - (2 * border);
private int tripleSize = size / 2;
private int thickness = 10;
public Dartboard()
{
createSegmentWedges();
int innerRadius = size - (2 * border);
Shape outer = new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, size, size);
Shape inner = new Ellipse2D.Double(border, border, innerRadius, innerRadius);
Area circle = new Area( outer );
circle.subtract( new Area(inner) );
segments.add( new DartboardSegment(circle, Color.BLACK) );
createBullsEye();
}
private void createSegmentWedges()
{
int angle = -99;
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
// Create the wedge shape
GeneralPath path = new GeneralPath();
path.moveTo(250, 250);
double radians1 = Math.toRadians( angle );
double x1 = Math.cos(radians1) * radius;
double y1 = Math.sin(radians1) * radius;
path.lineTo(x1 + 250, y1 + 250);
angle += 18;
double radians2 = Math.toRadians( angle );
double x2 = Math.cos(radians2) * radius;
double y2 = Math.sin(radians2) * radius;
path.lineTo(x2 + 250, y2 + 250);
path.closePath();
Color wedgeColor = (i % 2 == 0) ? Color.BLACK : Color.WHITE;
segments.add( new DartboardSegment(path, wedgeColor) );
// Create the double/triple shapes
Color color = (i % 2 == 0) ? Color.RED : Color.GREEN;
createShape(doubleSize, path, color);
createShape(tripleSize, path, color);
}
}
private void createShape(int outerSize, GeneralPath path, Color color)
{
int outerOffset = (size - outerSize) / 2;
int innerSize = outerSize - (2 * thickness);
int innerOffset = (size - innerSize) / 2;
Shape outer = new Ellipse2D.Double(outerOffset, outerOffset, outerSize, outerSize);
Shape inner = new Ellipse2D.Double(innerOffset, innerOffset, innerSize, innerSize);
Area circle = new Area( outer );
circle.subtract( new Area(inner) );
circle.intersect( new Area(path) );
segments.add( new DartboardSegment(circle, color) );
}
private void createBullsEye()
{
int radius1 = 40;
int offset1 = (size - radius1) / 2;
Ellipse2D.Double bullsEye1 = new Ellipse2D.Double(offset1, offset1, radius1, radius1);
segments.add( new DartboardSegment(bullsEye1, Color.GREEN) );
int radius2 = 20;
int offset2 = (size - radius2) / 2;
Ellipse2D.Double bullsEye2 = new Ellipse2D.Double(offset2, offset2, radius2, radius2);
segments.add( new DartboardSegment(bullsEye2, Color.RED) );
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g.create();
for (DartboardSegment segment: segments)
{
g2d.setColor( segment.getColor() );
g2d.fill( segment.getShape() );
}
}

{
this.shape = shape;
this.color = color;
}
public Shape getShape()

return shape;
}

{
return color;
}
}
private static void createAndShowGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("DartBoard");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new Dartboard());
frame.setLocationByPlatform( true );
frame.pack();

}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater( () -> createAndShowGUI() );
/*
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
*/
}
}
After a bit more digging, I think one solution to this is to do the following. It's not the neatest, but I think it will work:
int i = 0;
for (int y=0; y<height; y++)
{
for (int x=0; x<width; x++)
{
Point pt = new Point(x, y);
DartboardSegment segment = getSegmentForPoint(pt);
Color colour = DartboardUtil.getColourForSegment(segment);
pixels[i] = colorToUse.getRGB();
i++;
}
}
dartboardImage.setRGB(0, 0, width, height, pixels, 0, width);
I am open to better suggestions, however!

I have a chart with this presentation:

DefaultCategoryDataset defaultcategorydataset = new DefaultCategoryDataset();
defaultcategorydataset.addValue(1.0D, s, s3);
defaultcategorydataset.addValue(4D, s, s4);
defaultcategorydataset.addValue(3D, s, s5);
return defaultcategorydataset;
}
private static JFreeChart createChart(CategoryDataset categorydataset) {

}
I've seen gradient paint in bar charts, but not for spider charts. All I'm getting is transparent series.
Thanks.
You are setting the paint correctly however there are 2 things you should realize.
Gradient paints in java declare a start and end point. The first color will start at point 1 and transform into color 2 at point 2. If you use it to draw a polygon then the points are not relative to the polygons dimensions. Heres a picture to display, pt1 and pt2 in the picture are where your gradient start and end points are defined.
In an ideal world every setting is editable in a library but many times this just isnt the case. We can overcome that by overwriting methods in a subclass. You will need to override the SpiderWebPlot class and implement some of the painting methods. Heres a quick class I wrote up that does just that.
Take a look at the very end where it actually draws the polygon. I took this directly from the SpiderWebPlot source and altered the very end. To use this in your program call it like this
GradientSpiderWebPlot plot = new GradientSpiderWebPlot(categorydataset, Color.decode("#4282CE"), Color.decode("#9BC1FF"), .8f);
Here are the results
public class GradientSpiderWebPlot extends SpiderWebPlot {
private Color startColor, endColor;
private float alpha;
public GradientSpiderWebPlot(CategoryDataset data, Color startColor, Color endColor, float alpha) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
super(data);
this.startColor = startColor;
this.endColor = endColor;
this.alpha = alpha;

I have the following code which does (the first part of) what I want drawing a chessboard with some pieces on it.
Image pieceImage = getImage(currentPiece);
int pieceHeight = pieceImage.getHeight(null);
double scale = (double)side/(double)pieceHeight;
AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform();
transform.setToTranslation(xPos, yPos);
transform.scale(scale, scale);
realGraphics.drawImage(pieceImage, transform, this);
that is, it gets a chess piece's image and the image's height, it translates the drawing of that image to the square the piece is on and scales the image to the size of the square.
Llet's say I want to rotate the black pieces 180 degrees. Somewhere I expect to have something like:
transform.rotate(Math.toRadians(180) /* ?, ? */);
But I can't figure out what to put in as X and Y. If I put nothing, the image is nicely rotated around the 0,0 point of its chessboard square, putting the piece upside down in the square to the northeast of where it is supposed to be. I've guessed at various other combinations of x,y, with no luck yet.
I am already using translation to put the piece in the right square, the rotation transform wants another x,y around which to rotate things, but I don't know how to tell the transform to rotate the piece around one x,y and write the image to a different x,y. Can someone help me with the rotation parameters, or point me to something that explains how these things work? I've found examples of things that don't explain how they work, and so far I haven't figured out how to alter them to my situation...
Major edit: addition of working code. Sorry, I don't know how to post images, please substitute your own.
When I run the following I get a 2x2 chess board with a rook at the top left and a knight at the bottom right.
If I go into SmallChessboardComponent and take the comment delims off the first rotation transform statement, I get the rook in its original place upside down and the knight does not appear. If I instead take the comment delims off the second transform statement, neither piece appears at all.
I am looking for a way to turn the pieces upside down on the square on which they would appear anyway. I want to draw each piece onto the board; I don't want code that flips the board.

Okay, this is a little slight of hand. The example code will only work for 90 degree increments (it was only designed this way), to do smaller increments you to use some trig to calculate the image width and height (there's a answer somewhere for that to ;))
public class ImagePane extends JPanel {
private BufferedImage masterImage;
private BufferedImage renderedImage;
public ImagePane(BufferedImage image) {
masterImage = image;
applyRotation(0);
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(renderedImage.getWidth(), renderedImage.getHeight());
}
#Override
public Dimension getMinimumSize() {
return getPreferredSize();
}
protected int getVirtualAngle(int angle) {
float fRotations = (float) angle / 360f;
int rotations = (int) (fRotations - (fRotations / 1000));
int virtual = angle - (rotations * 360);
if (virtual < 0) {
virtual = 360 + virtual;
}
return virtual;
}
public void applyRotation(int angle) {
// This will only work for angles of 90 degrees...
// Normalize the angle to make sure it's only between 0-360 degrees
int virtualAngle = getVirtualAngle(angle);
Dimension size = new Dimension(masterImage.getWidth(), masterImage.getHeight());
int masterWidth = masterImage.getWidth();
int masterHeight = masterImage.getHeight();
double x = 0; //masterWidth / 2.0;
double y = 0; //masterHeight / 2.0;
switch (virtualAngle) {
case 0:
break;
case 180:
break;
case 90:
case 270:
size = new Dimension(masterImage.getHeight(), masterImage.getWidth());
x = (masterHeight - masterWidth) / 2.0;
y = (masterWidth - masterHeight) / 2.0;
break;
}
renderedImage = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, masterImage.getTransparency());
Graphics2D g2d = renderedImage.createGraphics();
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(x, y);
at.rotate(Math.toRadians(virtualAngle), masterWidth / 2.0, masterHeight / 2.0);
g2d.drawImage(masterImage, at, null);
g2d.dispose();
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
int width = getWidth() - 1;
int height = getHeight() - 1;
int x = (width - renderedImage.getWidth()) / 2;
int y = (height - renderedImage.getHeight()) / 2;
g2d.drawImage(renderedImage, x, y, this);
}
}
Now, you could simply "flip" the image vertically, if that works better for you
public class FlipPane extends JPanel {
private BufferedImage masterImage;
private BufferedImage renderedImage;
public FlipPane(BufferedImage image) {
masterImage = image;
flipMaster();
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(renderedImage.getWidth(), renderedImage.getHeight());
}
#Override
public Dimension getMinimumSize() {
return getPreferredSize();
}
protected void flipMaster() {
renderedImage = new BufferedImage(masterImage.getWidth(), masterImage.getHeight(), masterImage.getTransparency());
Graphics2D g2d = renderedImage.createGraphics();
g2d.setTransform(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1, -1));
g2d.drawImage(masterImage, 0, -masterImage.getHeight(), this);
g2d.dispose();
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
int width = getWidth() - 1;
int height = getHeight() - 1;
int x = (width - renderedImage.getWidth()) / 2;
int y = (height - renderedImage.getHeight()) / 2;
g2d.drawImage(renderedImage, x, y, this);
}
}
This basically results in:
Original | 180 degree rotation | Vertical inversion...
Now, if you change the flipMaster method to read:
g2d.setTransform(AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(-1, -1));
g2d.drawImage(masterImage, -masterImage.getWidth(), -masterImage.getHeight(), this);
You'll get the same effect as the 180 rotation ;)
Try performing the rotation before translating it into the correct position. Simply reorder the transformations so that first you scale, then you rotate (around the center point of the image), and then you translate:
transform.scale(scale, scale);
transform.rotate(Math.PI, pieceWidth / 2, pieceHeight /2);
transform.translation(xPos, yPos);
By the way, the black pieces on a chess board usually aren't rotated. :)
Update
In what way does it not work? The solution I provided also also differs from your code in that scaling is performed before translating. You can try the rotating, translating, and then scaling.
I strongly suggest that you modify your code so that you can perform the translation last. If you do this, everything will become a lot less complicated. Once you have done so, you only have to scale once to automatically take care of the rotation.
transform.scale(scale, scale); // or transform.scale(scale, -scale); to rotate
transform.translate(xPos, yPos);
I have a JPanel which displays an image. In a separate class, I'm reading from an xml file points. I am firstly creating an arraylist of triangles from these points. However I need to show the triangles on the image, i.e. draw them on! (yes this should be simple). But as these points and triangles are created in another class, I do not seem to be able to draw them on the already-displayed image within the GUI class. I have tried creating a ArrayList in the JPanel itself, which I update and then want to repaint, although it will not let me do this as shown below:
Class
triangles = clips.getTriangles();
tempPanel.setTriangles(triangles){
JPanel
public void settriangles(ArrayList<Point[]> t){
triangles = t;
repaint();
}
My only other idea is for the JPanel to have a listener waiting for when triangles are returned, updating the field and hence then repainting.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: Code for Drawing
public void settriangles(ArrayList<Point[]> t){
triangles = t;
repaint();
}

System.out.println("in paint component");

Your paintComponent leaves a little to be desired ;)
Firstly, you should never get a null graphics unless the paint method has been called in correctly, which in case they deserve for it to fail.
You should try and use Graphics.create to create a copy of the incoming Graphics context. This allows you to mess with the Graphics properties (such as transforms etc) without adversly effecting the original
I don't know what the image is all about, but basically, if its null, your triangles will never paint (don't know if this is what you want or not).
I don't know what the offset relates to, but just in case, the 0x0 point is always the top, left corner of your component.
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
// This is important, you will to have a very good reason not to call this
super.paintComponent(g);
System.out.println("in paint component");
// Should never need this. You should never call the paintComponent
// directly.
// if (g != null) {
// Create a copy of the graphics, with which you can play...
Graphics2D graphics = (Graphics2D) g.create();
try {
Rectangle back_rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, getWidth(),
getHeight());
graphics.setColor(Color.GREEN);
graphics.fill(back_rect);
// What's this trying to do...
// Where do you produce this???
// Because I didn't know where the image was been produced
// I commented out the code, but you should be aware
// That if the image is null, you triangles will never paint...
// if (image != null) {
// int width = Math.round(image.getWidth() * magnification);
// int height = Math.round(image.getHeight() * magnification);
//
// Rectangle image_rect = new Rectangle(offset.x, offset.y,
// width, height);
// graphics.setColor(Color.BLACK);
// graphics.draw(image_rect);
// graphics.drawImage(image, offset.x, offset.y, width,
// height, null);
graphics.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
for (int pos = 0; pos < triangles.size(); pos++) {
Point[] current = triangles.get(pos);
ArrayList<Point> current_triangle = new ArrayList<Point>(3);
current_triangle.add(current[0]);
current_triangle.add(current[1]);
current_triangle.add(current[2]);
drawRegion(graphics, current_triangle);
}
//} // From the image != null
} finally {
graphics.dispose();
}
}
I'd also suggest you have a read through
2D Graphics
Performing Custom Painting in Swing
If you haven't already ;)
This article will give you all the info you need http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/painting/
but I think you are missing -
super.paintComponent(g);
public class MyPanel extends JPanel {
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
// Let UI delegate paint first
// (including background filling, if I'm opaque)
super.paintComponent(g);
// paint my contents next....
}
}
I worked out how to draw triangles on the image, when passing through an arrayList, where each Point[] represents the points of the triangle.
Note that this is now in a single entire class which is passed the information, rather than trying to call repaint from another class.
public AnnotatedDisplayTriangles(BufferedImage image, String image_path, ArrayList<Point[]> triangles) {
this.image = image;
this.image_path = image_path;
this.triangles = triangles;
}
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
// Draw image centered.
int x = (getWidth() - image.getWidth())/2;
int y = (getHeight() - image.getHeight())/2;
g.drawImage(image, x, y, this);
Stroke drawingStroke = new BasicStroke(2);
Graphics2D graph = (Graphics2D)g;
graph.setStroke(drawingStroke);
graph.setPaint(Color.black);
for(int p = 0; p < triangles.size(); p++){
Point[] current_triangles = triangles.get(p);
for(int triangle = 0; triangle < current_triangles.length; triangle++ ){
Point current = current_triangles[triangle];
Point next;
if(triangle == current_triangles.length -1 )
next = current_triangles[0];
else
next = current_triangles[triangle + 1];
Line2D line = new Line2D.Double(current.x, current.y, next.x, next.y);
graph.draw(line);
}
}
}
public static void main(String image_path,ArrayList<Point[]> triangles, String panel_name) throws IOException {
String path = image_path;
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
AnnotatedDisplayTriangles contentPane = new AnnotatedDisplayTriangles(image, path, triangles);
// You'll want to be sure this component is opaque
// since it is required for contentPanes. Some
// LAFs may use non-opaque components.
contentPane.setOpaque(true);
int w = image.getWidth();
int h = image.getHeight();
JFrame f = new JFrame(panel_name);
// f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.setContentPane(contentPane);
f.setSize(w,h);
f.setLocation(200,200);
f.setVisible(true);

I'm begining a little project to create a simple checkers game. However it's been a long time since I've used the java GUI tools. The goal of the code at this point is to draw the initial board (red pieces at top, black at bottom). However all I get when I run the code is a blank frame. I'm also a little uncertain if my circle drawing code will do what I want (ie create solid red or black circles inside certain squares) Here is the code. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions
EDIT: I should probably alternate drawing blue and gray squares or else the thing will probably just be a giant blue blob, however I'll settle for a giant blue blob at this point :p

You have several issues.
Java UI is layout-based, which means that when you add a component to a parent, the parent's layout determines where the child component will be placed. You don't have any code to set up the layout, and so your application is using the defaults (FlowLayout is the default, and this may work in your case, as long as your JFrame and children are the appropriate size).
The bigger problems are in your boardSquare class. By default, JPanels have a dimension of 10x10. You aren't specifying the size, and so all your squares are 10x10. You need to tell the squares how big they are. You can do this in the boardSquare constructor:
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
Finally, in your drawing code, you are doing an offset of x,y when drawing the squares and circles. This is an offset from the top-left corner of the component. Your components (after setting the size) will be 100x100 pixels. But if your x,y are greater than these values, you will be drawing outside of the bounds of the component. Instead, these values should be set to 0,0 because that is the top-left corner of the component you are drawing in.
By just setting the preferred size of the squares and setting x,y to 0, I was able to get the squares drawing in the frame, though it wasn't pretty. You will need to work on setting the correct layout before it will be laid out correctly.
Here are some hints:
Your BoardSquares have dimension 0x0. Not a good size for something you want to be visible to the user.
To help visualize what's going on, cause each BoardSquare to be 100x100 pixels in size, and give them a border. Now you can see where they are showing up in your GUI. Your GUI code still needs significant changes, but this will at least let you start seeing what you're dealing with.
public BoardSquare(int p, int q, String type)
{
this.setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.CYAN, 2));
this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
// ... etc ...
BoardSquare seems to be coded to draw its contents based on coordinates from the absolute topmost leftmost point in the window, but they should be coded to draw themselves from the topmost leftmost point of the BoardSquare itself. That is, components should only draw within their own boundaries, and they should use coordinates that assume 0,0 designates the top,left of the component, not of the window.
If you want to use BoardSquares (JComponents) and add them to the frame, you probably should use a different layout manager, like GridLayout. FlowLayout won't give you the kind of precise positioning you want.

I'm really stuck on how to go about programming this. How to draw a circle in Java with a radius and points around the edge?
I need to draw a circle within a JFrame with a radius and points around the circumference. i can mathematically calculate how to find the coordinates of the point around the edge but i cant seem to be able to program the circle. I am currently using a Ellipse2D method but that doesn't seem to work and doesn't return a radius, as under my understanding, it doesn't draw the circle from the center rather from a starting coordinate using a height and width.
My current code is on a separate frame but I need to add it to my existing frame.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class circle extends JFrame {
public circle() {
super("circle");
setSize(410, 435);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Panel sp = new Panel();
Container content = getContentPane();
content.add(sp);
setContentPane(content);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main (String args[]){
circle sign = new circle();
}
}
class Panel extends JPanel {
public void paintComponent(Graphics comp) {
super.paintComponent(comp);
Graphics2D comp2D = (Graphics2D) comp;
comp2D.setColor(Color.red);
Ellipse2D.Float sign1 = new Ellipse2D.Float(0F, 0F, 350F, 350F);
comp2D.fill(sign1);
}
}
Points on a circle may be specified as a function of the angle θ:
x = a + r cos(θ)
y = b + r sin(θ)
Here, increments of 2π/8 are shown.
Addendum: As suggested in a comment by #Christoffer Hammarström, this revised example reduces the number of magic numbers in the original. The desired number of points becomes a parameter to the constructor. It also adapts the rendering to the container's size.

}
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override

Try something like this:
public class CirclePanel extends JPanel
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setContentPane(new CirclePanel());
f.setSize(700,500);
f.setVisible(true);
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
super.paint(g);
//Draws the line
g.drawOval(0,0,this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
//draws filled circle
g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillOval(0,0,this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
}
}
You can also override the paint method in the frame class, but then the you would have to calculate in the size of the window decorations and it gets dirty there...
I recommend to take some time to review the "midpoint circle algorithm or Bresenham's circle algorithm". The accepted solution is based on very costly math operations like float multiplication and trigonometric functions.
