Display moving image in Java Swing - java

I'm trying to display a high-width image in Java Swing (say 2000x100, like a heart rate strip). I need to show only a window of 500 width while it is slightly moving towards left. My current code (a bit complicated, it also has unnecessary animations) does it, but the feature I need to add is: The end of image should be concatenated with the beginning of the image. So it always repeats showing over and over.
In short, I need to join the two ends of image! How can I do that?

To join the ends, paint the image twice as seen in this answer. The first paint would be the end of the image. The second paint would be the start of the image, offset by the width the end goes to.
E.G.

import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class HeartBeat {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
URL url = new URL("http://i.stack.imgur.com/i8UJD.jpg");
final BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(url);
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final BufferedImage canvas = new BufferedImage(
bi.getWidth(), bi.getHeight(),
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
final JLabel animationLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(canvas));
ActionListener animator = new ActionListener() {
int x = 0;
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Graphics2D g = canvas.createGraphics();
// paint last part of image in left of canvas
g.drawImage(bi, x, 0, null);
// paint first part of image immediately to the right
g.drawImage(bi, x + bi.getWidth(), 0, null);
// reset x to prevent hitting integer overflow
if (x%bi.getWidth()==0) x = 0;
g.dispose();
animationLabel.repaint();
x--;
}
};
Timer timer = new Timer(40, animator);
timer.start();
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, animationLabel);
timer.stop();
}
};
// Swing GUIs should be created and updated on the EDT
// http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/concurrency
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}

The end of image should be concatenated with the beginning of the image. So it always repeats showing
Check out the Marquee Panel. You can add a JLabel with an ImageIcon to the MarqueePanel.
The MarqueePanel provides various method to customize the scrolling.
Edit:
The basic code would be:
MarqueePanel panel = new MarqueePanel();
panel.setWrap(true);
panel.setWrapAmount(0);
panel.setPreferredWidth(250);
JLabel label = new JLabel( new ImageIcon( "heartbeat.jpg" ) );
panel.add( label );
frame.add( panel );
If you want the image to fully appear at the left when it is displayed you can change the startScrolling() method and use scrollOffset = 0;.

How can I draw an image part by part?

class DrawIma extends JPanel{
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
for (int i=0;i<20;i++){
for (int j=0;j<20;j++) {
g.drawImage(BuArr[i*20+j], 20*i, 20*j, 20, 20, null);
try {
Thread.sleep(10);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
In this part, BuArr are the 400 blocks divided from a BufferedImage, now i want them to be draw one by one, but the method can not draw the blocks separately, how can i do this?
Swing is single thread and not thread safe.
This means that you should not perform any long running or blocking (Thread.sleep) operations within the IU thread (the Event Dispatching Thread). It also means that you can not update, modify or create UI elements outside of the EDT context.
Instead, use a Swing Timer to generate a repeated callback at a specified interval and render the portions of the image to something like a BufferedImage, which you can the paint to the component via its paintComponent method...
See Concurrency in Swing and How to use Swing Timers for more details
Because it was a good time waster
This generates a List of Rectangles which represent the individual blocks I want to paint, I then randomise the List and run the Timer, picking the top most Rectangle off the List and using BufferedImage#getSubImage to draw it from the master to the buffer, which gets painted to the screen...

Select, Copy and Paste Images

What I want my app to do:
1 - Select an area of Image and get the coordinates. This code below should do this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ScreenCaptureRectangle {
Rectangle captureRect;
ScreenCaptureRectangle(final BufferedImage screen) {
final BufferedImage screenCopy = new BufferedImage(
screen.getWidth(),
screen.getHeight(),
screen.getType());
final JLabel screenLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(screenCopy));
JScrollPane screenScroll = new JScrollPane(screenLabel);
screenScroll.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(
(int)(screen.getWidth()/3),
(int)(screen.getHeight()/3)));
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
panel.add(screenScroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
final JLabel selectionLabel = new JLabel(
"Drag a rectangle in the screen shot!");
panel.add(selectionLabel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
repaint(screen, screenCopy);
screenLabel.repaint();
screenLabel.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
Point start = new Point();
#Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me) {
start = me.getPoint();
repaint(screen, screenCopy);
selectionLabel.setText("Start Point: " + start);
screenLabel.repaint();
}
#Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me) {
Point end = me.getPoint();
captureRect = new Rectangle(start,
new Dimension(end.x-start.x, end.y-start.y));
repaint(screen, screenCopy);
screenLabel.repaint();
selectionLabel.setText("Rectangle: " + captureRect);
}
});
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, panel);
System.out.println("Rectangle of interest: " + captureRect);
}
public void repaint(BufferedImage orig, BufferedImage copy) {
Graphics2D g = copy.createGraphics();
g.drawImage(orig,0,0, null);
if (captureRect!=null) {
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.draw(captureRect);
g.setColor(new Color(255,255,255,150));
g.fill(captureRect);
}
g.dispose();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Robot robot = new Robot();
final Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().
getScreenSize();
final BufferedImage screen = robot.createScreenCapture(
new Rectangle(screenSize));
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new ScreenCaptureRectangle(screen);
}
});
}
}
2 - get the coordinates and use it on getSubimage method.
double w = captureRect.getWidth();
double h = captureRect.getHeight();
double x = captureRect.getX();
double y = captureRect.getY();
int W = (int) w;
int H = (int) h;
int X = (int) x;
int Y = (int) y;
BufferedImage selectImg = screen.getSubimage(x, y, w, h);
3 - this code create a new image file and copy the imageselected.
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage ( 5000, 5000, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB );
img.createGraphics().drawImage(selectImg, 0, 0, null);
File final_image = new File("C:/Final.jpg");
ImageIO.write(img, "jpeg", final_image);
The idea of app is:
- Select an area of the image.
- Copy that image and paste in other file. ( when I pressed any button )
- The program will continue run until I press another button.
- Every image that I copy the program will paste it beside the last one.
I think I am near to the solution. Can any one help me to "connect the parts" ?
Start by taking a look at:
How to Write a Mouse Listener
How to Use Buttons, Check Boxes, and Radio Buttons
How to Write an Action Listeners
Performing Custom Painting
Writing/Saving an Image
You need to take the concepts you have and rework them into a coherent workable solution. That is, provide functionality between the areas you need (selecting a region and saving the file) so that they work cleanly together...
The following example takes a screenshot, allows you to select an area, click save and the file will be saved. The example checks to see how many files are already in the current directory and increments the count by 1 so you are not overwriting the existing files...

g2d.setColor(fill);
g2d.fill(selection);
g2d.setColor(stroke);
g2d.draw(selection);
}
g2d.dispose();
}
}
}
So apart from rendering the selection the hardest part would be generating the resulting image...
Basically, this done by creating a new BufferedImage and painting the old image and the new, sub, image together.
public BufferedImage append(BufferedImage master, BufferedImage sub) {
// Create a new image which can hold both background and the
// new image...
BufferedImage newImage = new BufferedImage(
master.getWidth() + sub.getWidth(),
Math.max(master.getHeight(), sub.getHeight()),
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// Get new image's Graphics context
Graphics2D g2d = newImage.createGraphics();
// Draw the old background
g2d.drawImage(master, 0, 0, null);
// Position and paint the new sub image...
int y = (newImage.getHeight() - sub.getHeight()) / 2;
g2d.drawImage(sub, master.getWidth(), y, null);
g2d.dispose();
return newImage;
}
The example replaces the previous (master) image with the one created here, so it will constantly be appending new images to the end of it...
You need more listeners for button pressed and released.. some lines in the mouseMoved also better placed in mousePressed.
You would want to update your captureRect when you release the mouse (in mouseReleased method).
Then you just write it to the file. You may adjust other things according to your needs.
And for clarity maybe it's better to add a save button into your UI.

Java Tile Scrolling Issues

I'm fairly new to programming with graphics and I'm attempting to code a side scrolling 2D game. At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to approach redrawing a scrolling image as it appears in the JFrame. I'm using 8x8 pixel blocks as images. One possible issue I thought about concerns moving a sprite just 1 or 2 pixels and still rendering each image as it appears pixel by pixel on/off of the screen. How do I go about rendering the image/blocks pixel by pixel instead of whole images should the sprite barely move? Any feedback is much appreciated!
This is a proof of concept only! I randomly generate the tiles that get painted, I hope you have some kind of virtual map setup so you know which tiles to paint at any given virtual point!
Basically, what this does, is when the screen is moved left or right, it shifts the "master" image left or right and stitches new tiles onto new edge
My test was using a style sheet of 31x31 cells (don't ask, I just grab it off the net)
This is VERY scaled down example of the output, it was running at 1100x700+

How to draw images on transparent window?

I'm trying to draw Images with Graphics2D on JFrame.
But this code only displays blank background.
How to do that?
Java Version: SE-1.6
IDE: Eclipse
My code looks like this:
import java.awt.BasicStroke;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class GraphicTest extends JFrame{
public static void main(String[] args) {
GraphicTest gt = new GraphicTest();
gt.start();
}
JFrame frame;
BufferStrategy strategy;
GraphicTest(){
int width = 320;
int height = 240;
this.frame = new JFrame("test");
this.frame.setSize(width, height);
this.frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.frame.setLocation(576, 336);
this.frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
this.frame.setUndecorated(true);
this.frame.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 50));
this.frame.setVisible(true);
this.frame.setIgnoreRepaint(true);
this.frame.createBufferStrategy(2);
this.strategy = this.frame.getBufferStrategy();
}
public void onExit(){
System.exit(0);
}
void start(){
java.util.Timer timer = new java.util.Timer();
timer.schedule(new RenderTask(), 0, 16);
}
class RenderTask extends TimerTask{
int count = 0;
#Override
public void run() {
GraphicTest.this.render();
}
}
void render() {
// Some moving images
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)this.strategy.getDrawGraphics();
g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5.0f));
Line2D line = new Line2D.Double(20, 40, 120, 140);
g2.draw(line);
this.strategy.show();
}
}
Thank you for any help you can provide.
BufferStrategy is normally associated with heavy weight components, which don't have any concept of transparency.
Transparent and translucent (per alpha pixeling) is not "officially" supported under Java 6
Making a window translucent effects anything else painted to it...this very annoying, regardless if you are using Java 6 or 7
The secret is to make the Window transparent to begin with, then overlay a transparent component that has a special "translucent" paint effect.
Under Java 6 (update 10 I think), there became available a private API called AWTUtilities which provide the ability to make a window transparent or translucent, the following example is based on that API.

g2d.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
int x = xPos - (img.getWidth() / 2);
int y = yPos - (img.getHeight()/ 2);
g2d.drawImage(img, x, y, this);
g2d.dispose();
}
}
}
Another way can be seen here. It can be accomplished by
frame.setBackground(new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
....
setOpaque(false); //for the JPanel being painted on.

Minimal way to make a cleanable drawing area

I got a class with a resizable background. There are paintings over that background(using a paint method and Java2D).
How can i delete everything that was drawn every time that the background gets a resize? (To eventually draw again in the correct places) Is there any sort of transform i can do on the already-drawn objects(like scaling to fit the image again)?

import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JSlider;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent;
import javax.swing.event.ChangeListener;
public class Background extends JLabel implements ChangeListener {
private ImageIcon background;
private BufferedImage image;
public Background(JPanel parent){
super();
parent.add(this);
try {
image = ImageIO.read(new File("/example/background"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
this.background = new ImageIcon(image);
this.setIcon(background);
}
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
int value = ((JSlider) e.getSource()).getValue();
double scale = value / 100.0;
BufferedImage scaled = getScaledImage(scale);
this.setIcon(new ImageIcon(scaled));
this.revalidate();
}
private BufferedImage getScaledImage(double scale) {
int w = (int) (scale * image.getWidth());
int h = (int) (scale * image.getHeight());
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, image.getType());
Graphics2D g2 = bi.createGraphics();
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(scale, scale);
g2.drawRenderedImage(image, at);
g2.dispose();
return bi;
}
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g){
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D graphObj = (Graphics2D) g;
RenderingHints rh = new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);rh.put(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);
graphObj.setRenderingHints(rh);
graphObj.fillOval(500, 500, 20, 20);
graphObj.finalize();
}
}
Consider:
Drawing in a paintComponent(...) override, not a paint(...) override.
Save a List<Point> where each Point is normalized, say to a 1000 by 1000 size.
Then in the paintComponent method, iterate through each Point in a for loop, scaling it to the current component size, and drawing it.
You'll want to scale any image drawn in the component in a ComponentListener, and then call repaint().
Or perhaps even better, scale the image drawn using the Graphics#drawImage(...) overload that takes width and height parameters.
