Convert a Graphics2D to an Image or BufferedImage

Question

I have a little problem here.

I have an applet, where user can \"draw\" inside it. To do that, I use the java.awt.Graphics2D. But, how can I do to save the user draw

Answer 1

Use the drawImage method provided by Graphics2D and write it using ImageIO

BufferedImage img;
g2dObject.drawImage(img, null, 0, 0);
ImageIO.write(img, "JPEG", new File("foo.jpg"));
