When drawing polygons, Java2D leaves off the right and bottom edges. I understand why this is done. However, I would like to draw something that includes those edges. One
I like the convenience of ImageIcon, shown by @HFOE, but this variation may make it a little easier to see what's happening. From the Graphics API,
Operations that draw the outline of a figure operate by traversing an infinitely thin path between pixels with a pixel-sized pen that hangs down and to the right of the anchor point on the path. Operations that fill a figure operate by filling the interior of that infinitely thin path.
In contrast, Graphics2D must follow more complex rules for antialiasing, which allow it to "draw outside the lines."
