Drawing on top of multiple JButtons

So, I have multiple objects of the class Square, which is the subclass of JButton. I have an instance of the class Board, which contains a few instances of Square. What I want to do is when I press one of the buttons (squares), draw a shape (a circle) on top of it. For doing that, I have a boolean variable in the Square class, namely isClicked, that basically decides what has to be drawn in the paintComponent method.
The problem is that buttons start to behave in a weird way when I have a few of them. Surprisingly, if there is only one of them, there is no problem at all. At first, I had thought the problem might be related to threads, however, I put the main code into invokeLater method and that did not help at all.
I saw a solution using BufferedImage, but I would like to see if there is any possibility to solve the problem doing it my way.
Sorry for possibly not perfect English.
Square class:
public class Square extends JButton implements ActionListener {
private int number;
private boolean isClicked;
public Square(int x) {
number = x;
isClicked = false;
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
if (!isClicked) {
super.paintComponent(g);
} else {
System.out.println("EXECUTED for: " + number);
g2d.drawOval(this.getX(), this.getY(), 100, 100);
}
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
isClicked = !isClicked;
System.out.println(isClicked + " " + number);
repaint();
}
}
Board class:
public class Board extends JPanel {
private static final int BOARD_WIDTH = (int) (TicTacToe.WIDTH * 0.7);
private static final int VERTICAL_LINE_LENGTH = (int) (TicTacToe.WIDTH * 0.5);
private static final int HORIZONTAL_LINE_LENGTH = (int) (TicTacToe.HEIGHT * 0.8);
private static final int STROKE_WIDTH = 5;
private Square[] squares;
public Board() {
}
public void addButtons() {
squares = new Square[9];
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Square square = new Square(i);
square.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(30, 30));
square.addActionListener(square);
this.add(square);
squares[i] = square;
((GridLayout)this.getLayout()).setHgap(30);
((GridLayout)this.getLayout()).setVgap(30);
}
}
public Square[] getButtons() {
return squares;
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(STROKE_WIDTH));
// Horiztontal lines
g2d.drawLine(0, TicTacToe.HEIGHT / 3,
BOARD_WIDTH, TicTacToe.HEIGHT / 3);
g2d.drawLine(0, 2 * TicTacToe.HEIGHT / 3,
BOARD_WIDTH, 2 * TicTacToe.HEIGHT / 3);
// Vertical lines
g2d.drawLine(BOARD_WIDTH / 3, 0, BOARD_WIDTH / 3,
TicTacToe.HEIGHT);
g2d.drawLine(2 * BOARD_WIDTH / 3, 0, 2 * BOARD_WIDTH / 3,
TicTacToe.HEIGHT);
}
}
Main method:
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Board board = new Board();
board.setPreferredSize(new Dimension((int) (WIDTH * 0.7), HEIGHT));
board.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 3));
board.addButtons();
GameOptions opt = new GameOptions();
opt.setPreferredSize(new Dimension((int) (WIDTH * 0.3), HEIGHT));
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tic Tac Toe");
frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
frame.add(board);
frame.add(opt);
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});

Your use of getX() and getY() on the button's drawing code is completely wrong and does not belong. These methods return the location of the button relative to its container, and so while this might work for a button located at the upper left, it will fail for anything else since you'll end up drawing somewhere far away from the button itself, and so many of your drawings will never show.
You'd be much better off not extending JButton but instead simply swapping ImageIcons that display what you want drawn on the JButton. This is much simpler and much more idiot-proof. You set the button's icon by calling .setIcon(myImageIcon) on it, passing in the icon of choice.
But if you absolutely wanted to draw on the button, you'd do so without using getX() or getY(). You'd also probably want to use a JToggleButton as the parent class, since you're toggling state. For example, my MCVE:
import java.awt.BasicStroke;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;

import java.awt.Stroke;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;

Rescale a drawing in Java (JFrame)

I need the simplest way to rescale a drawing in java (for example a rectangle...). I found a way to "stretch" them:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class Stretch extends JFrame {
int originalHeight = 600;
int originalWidth = 600;
public Stretch() {
super("Stretch");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(originalWidth, originalHeight);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Stretch s = new Stretch();
s.setVisible(true);
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Dimension size = this.getBounds().getSize();
int rectWidth = 100;
int rectHeight = 130;
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, size.width, size.height);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawRect(100, 100, rectWidth + size.width - originalWidth, rectHeight + size.height - originalHeight);
}
}
As you can see the formula is like that:
g.drawRect(100, 100, rectWidth + size.width - originalWidth, rectHeight + size.height - originalHeight);
Now how can I rescale the drawing? Width and height have to maintain the same proportion.
Thank you.

There are bascially two different approaches for this:
You can "scale the whole Graphics"
You can scale the actual shapes
The difference may be subtle in some cases, but can be important: When you scale the whole Graphics, then everything will be scaled. Particularly, when you scale it about 2.0, and then draw a line with a width of 1.0, the line will be drawn 2 pixels wide. Whether or not this is desired depends on the application case.
In order to scale the actual shapes, you can not use the drawRect method. Instead you will have to create Shape instances that represent the geometric shapes. You can then create scaled versions of these shapes with AffineTransform#createTransformedShape.
Here is an example that compares both approaches (and corrects some of the other issues that have been in your code). In both cases, the same rectangle with an original size of (10,13) is painted, scaled by a factor of 5.0.
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Shape;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class ScalingDrawnObjects
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
private static void createAndShowGUI()
{
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
ScalingDrawnObjectsPanel p = new ScalingDrawnObjectsPanel();
f.getContentPane().add(p);
f.setSize(600,400);
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}
class ScalingDrawnObjectsPanel extends JPanel
{
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics gr)
{
super.paintComponent(gr);
Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)gr;
Shape rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(2, 2, 10, 13);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
drawWithScaledGraphics(g, rectangle);
g.translate(100, 0);
drawScaledObject(g, rectangle);
}
private static void drawWithScaledGraphics(Graphics2D g, Shape shape)
{
AffineTransform oldAt = g.getTransform();
g.scale(5.0, 5.0);
g.draw(shape);
g.setTransform(oldAt);
}
private static void drawScaledObject(Graphics2D g, Shape shape)
{
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(5.0, 5.0);
g.draw(at.createTransformedShape(shape));
}
}
EDIT In response to the comment
The code that I posted is not "complicated". It is as compilcated as it has to be, but not more. You should not extend JFrame and you should not override paint. You should create the GUI on the EDT. You should ...
However, you should not use code like the following, but maybe this is what you're looking for
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.Dimension;
public class Stretch extends JFrame {
int originalHeight = 600;
int originalWidth = 600;
public Stretch() {
super("Stretch");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(originalWidth, originalHeight);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Stretch s = new Stretch();
s.setVisible(true);
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Dimension size = this.getBounds().getSize();
int rectWidth = 100;
int rectHeight = 130;
g.setColor(Color.white);
g.fillRect(0, 0, size.width, size.height);
g.setColor(Color.black);
int w = rectWidth + size.width - originalWidth;
int h = rectHeight + size.height - originalHeight;
double sx = (double)w / rectWidth;
double sy = (double)h / rectHeight;
double s = Math.min(sx, sy);
int fw = (int)(s * rectWidth);
int fh = (int)(s * rectHeight);
g.drawRect(100, 100, fw, fh);
}
}

How about multiplying the width and the height by the scale you want?
So if you want to scale it by 2:
g.drawRect(100, 100, 2 * (rectWidth + size.width - originalWidth), 2 * (rectHeight + size.height - originalHeight));

Custom button is shrinked when in a BoxLayout

I have a custom button class that I created that extends JButton. When I add this to a JFrame, I get this:
But when I place this custom button into the frame with BoxLayout, the button becomes smaller and is not desirable this way:
Here is my code for the frame:
Test.java
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
//When you uncomment this, the button is sized really small
//frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout(frame.getContentPane(),BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
frame.add(new CButton("Hello"));
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

}
}
Is there a way I can fix this and make it the full size?

Override the getPreferredSize(). BoxLayout respects preferred sizes. If you don't the preferred size will be determined by the text. It is bigger in the frame because the default BorderLayout of the frame doesn't respect preferred size, and will stretch the button. Another thing you can do instead is set bigger margins and/or bigger font, as that will also increase the preferred size. So you have a few options/things to consider
Have a look here as which layout respect preferred sizes and which ones don't. Another always good resources is Laying out Components Within a Container

Rotate rectangle and move it in sin wave - Help using graphics2D

Hi!
I have the code below using previous Stackoverflow posts.
I want to just rotate the rectangle by some angle and make it move in sin wave.
This code rotates the whole sin wave too.
I understand why it is happening , but I don't know how to achieve my intention.
please help!!!

+1 for SSCCE
1) Dont forget to have call to super.paintComponent(); as first statement in your overridden paintComponent(..) method.
2) Swing UI should be created on EDT and used in conjunction with Swing Timers
3) Java variable naming convention for classes is uppercase letter for each new word i.e WithRotation.
4) No need for frame.getContentPane.add(..) simply use add(..) as all calls are forwarded to its contentPane.

paint flashing java

1.The window is flashing while repainting. How can I eliminate that? Using the update method doesn't work either.
2. How do I update all the not-up-to-date classes in netbeans? It looks like my netbeans uses some old classes (before jdk 7).

Don't call Thread.sleep(...) on the EDT but rather, use a Swing Timer like the example shows. Also, you'll want to draw in the paintComponent(...) method of a JPanel that the JWindow holds to use Swing's default double buffering.

The problem comes from the fact that you override the paint method of JWindow. Override the paintComponent() of a JPanel instead, it has double buffering:
