paintcomponent

I'm trying to create an interface where the user can change the color of a line to mark what is background or what is foreground of an image. So far I have coded this: private class ImageLine extends JComponent { java.awt.Point p1,p2; BufferedImage show; ArrayList <Shape> shapes = new ArrayList<Shape>(); int flag = 0; Color color = Color.ORANGE; public ImageLine(BufferedImage img) { show = img; setPreferredSize(new Dimension(img.getWidth(), img.getHeight())); this.addMouseListener ( new MouseAdapter() { @Override public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) { p1 = e.getPoint(); } @Override public

I'm trying to create an applet that will produce as many ovals as the number specified within a textbox. The textbox appears, but upon hitting enter, my paintComponent does not draw.

I want to know how to make background gradient which is in another JPanel. Many articles found in internet,but all of them had demostrated how to overide the paintComponent() of the JPanel not how to do for a jPanel which is inside it. I use Netbeans IDE. I created a new JPanel class and could overide its paintComponent(). I have another jpanel on it (dragged & dropped on to the parent JPanel). I want to make its background gradient. Here is how I tried for parent. It worked. How can I overide this for child jpanel ? public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;

I'm trying to make some shapes with Java. I created two rectangles with two different colors but I want to create a star shape and I can't find useful source to help me doing this. Here is my code: import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class shapes extends JPanel{ @Override public void paintComponent(Graphics GPHCS){ super.paintComponent(GPHCS); GPHCS.setColor(Color.BLUE); GPHCS.fillRect(25,25,100,30); GPHCS.setColor(Color.GRAY); GPHCS.fillRect(25,65,100,30); GPHCS.setColor(new Color(190,81,215)); GPHCS.drawString("This is my text", 25, 120); } } You could try using a polygon and

I am making a game in java and I want to create a simulation of a cloud that is pouring rain. The cloud is supposed to move to the right while raining. Moving the cloud is no problem. It's the rain that I am struggling with. What I was thinking of doing was with a timer to draw a rectangle, thats supposed to look like falling rain at a random x value inside of the cloud. And then add 1 to the y value of the drop each 100 millisecond. But I don't want to create 100 different rectangles, x variables and y variables for each rain drop. Any idea how I can accomplish this? Suggestions appreciated!
