How do I draw an image in the shape of a parallelogram?

Question

So, I know that images can be cropped, shrunk, and expanded, but can you adapt an image into the shape of a parallelogram? I\'m using Java Swing to draw images. I was thinki

Answer 1

Just an example using a Java image processing framework.

Output:

public class SkewExample extends JFrame{
    MarvinImagePlugin skew = MarvinPluginLoader.loadImagePlugin("org.marvinproject.image.transform.skew");

    public SkewExample(){
        super("Skew Example");
        // Layout
        setLayout(new GridLayout(6,1));

        // Load Image
        MarvinImage image = MarvinImageIO.loadImage("./res/chamaleon.jpg");
        skew.setAttribute("skew", "Horizontal");

        // Process the image multiple times with different angle.
        for(int i=1; i<=6; i++){
            add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(skew(image, i*7).getBufferedImage())));
        }
        setSize(340,880);
        setVisible(true);
    }
    private MarvinImage skew(MarvinImage imageIn, int angle){
        skew.setAttribute("SkewAngle", angle);
        MarvinImage ret = new MarvinImage(imageIn.getWidth(),imageIn.getHeight());
        ret.fillRect(0, 0,imageIn.getWidth(),imageIn.getHeight(), new Color(238,238,238));
        ret.update();
        skew.process(imageIn, ret);
        ret.update();
        return ret;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SkewExample().setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
}
