PeekGraphics

The new PeekGraphics2D will forward state changing calls to 'graphics'. 'printerJob' is stored away so that the printing application can get the PrinterJob if needed.

Adds a number of preferences for the rendering algorithms. Hint categories include controls for rendering quality and overall time/quality trade-off in the rendering process.

Clears the specified rectangle by filling it with the background color of the current drawing surface. This operation does not use the current paint mode.

Beginning with Java 1.1, the background color of offscreen images may be system dependent. Applications should use setColor followed by fillRect to ensure that an offscreen image is cleared to a specific color.

Intersects the current clip with the interior of the specified Shape and sets the current clip to the resulting intersection. The indicated shape is transformed with the current transform in the Graphics2D state before being intersected with the current clip. This method is used to make the current clip smaller. To make the clip larger, use any setClip method.

Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle. The resulting clipping area is the intersection of the current clipping area and the specified rectangle. This method can only be used to make the current clip smaller. To set the current clip larger, use any of the setClip methods. Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.

Copies an area of the component by a distance specified by dx and dy. From the point specified by x and y, this method copies downwards and to the right. To copy an area of the component to the left or upwards, specify a negative value for dx or dy. If a portion of the source rectangle lies outside the bounds of the component, or is obscured by another window or component, copyArea will be unable to copy the associated pixels. The area that is omitted can be refreshed by calling the component's paint method.

Creates a new Graphics object that is a copy of this Graphics object.

Disposes of this graphics context and releases any system resources that it is using. A Graphics object cannot be used after disposehas been called.

When a Java program runs, a large number of Graphics objects can be created within a short time frame. Although the finalization process of the garbage collector also disposes of the same system resources, it is preferable to manually free the associated resources by calling this method rather than to rely on a finalization process which may not run to completion for a long period of time.

Graphics objects which are provided as arguments to the paint and update methods of components are automatically released by the system when those methods return. For efficiency, programmers should call dispose when finished using a Graphics object only if it was created directly from a component or another Graphics object.

Strokes the outline of a Shape using the settings of the current graphics state. The rendering attributes applied include the clip, transform, paint or color, composite and stroke attributes.

Draws the outline of a circular or elliptical arc covering the specified rectangle.

The resulting arc begins at startAngle and extends for arcAngle degrees, using the current color. Angles are interpreted such that 0 degrees is at the 3 o'clock position. A positive value indicates a counter-clockwise rotation while a negative value indicates a clockwise rotation.

The center of the arc is the center of the rectangle whose origin is (x, y) and whose size is specified by the width and height arguments.

The resulting arc covers an area width + 1 pixels wide by height + 1 pixels tall.

Draws a GlyphVector. The rendering attributes applied include the clip, transform, paint or color, and composite attributes. The GlyphVector specifies individual glyphs from a Font.

Draws as much of the specified image as has already been scaled to fit inside the specified rectangle.

The image is drawn inside the specified rectangle of this graphics context's coordinate space, and is scaled if necessary. Transparent pixels are drawn in the specified background color. This operation is equivalent to filling a rectangle of the width and height of the specified image with the given color and then drawing the image on top of it, but possibly more efficient.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the entire image has not yet been scaled, dithered, and converted for the current output device. If the current output representation is not yet complete then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that draws the image notifies the specified image observer.

A scaled version of an image will not necessarily be available immediately just because an unscaled version of the image has been constructed for this output device. Each size of the image may be cached separately and generated from the original data in a separate image production sequence.

Draws a BufferedImage that is filtered with a BufferedImageOp. The rendering attributes applied include the clip, transform and composite attributes. This is equivalent to:

 img1 = op.filter(img, null);
 drawImage(img1, new AffineTransform(1f,0f,0f,1f,x,y), null);
 

Draws as much of the specified area of the specified image as is currently available, scaling it on the fly to fit inside the specified area of the destination drawable surface.

Transparent pixels are drawn in the specified background color. This operation is equivalent to filling a rectangle of the width and height of the specified image with the given color and then drawing the image on top of it, but possibly more efficient.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the image area to be drawn has not yet been scaled, dithered, and converted for the current output device. If the current output representation is not yet complete then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that draws the image notifies the specified image observer.

This method always uses the unscaled version of the image to render the scaled rectangle and performs the required scaling on the fly. It does not use a cached, scaled version of the image for this operation. Scaling of the image from source to destination is performed such that the first coordinate of the source rectangle is mapped to the first coordinate of the destination rectangle, and the second source coordinate is mapped to the second destination coordinate. The subimage is scaled and flipped as needed to preserve those mappings.

Draws as much of the specified image as is currently available. The image is drawn with its top-left corner at (x, y) in this graphics context's coordinate space. Transparent pixels are drawn in the specified background color.

This operation is equivalent to filling a rectangle of the width and height of the specified image with the given color and then drawing the image on top of it, but possibly more efficient.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the complete image has not yet been loaded, and it has not been dithered and converted for the current output device.

If the image has not yet been completely loaded, then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that draws the image notifies the specified image observer.

Draws as much of the specified image as is currently available. The image is drawn with its top-left corner at (x, y) in this graphics context's coordinate space. Transparent pixels in the image do not affect whatever pixels are already there.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the complete image has not yet been loaded, and it has not been dithered and converted for the current output device.

If the image has not yet been completely loaded, then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that draws the image notifies the specified image observer.

Draws an image, applying a transform from image space into user space before drawing. The transformation from user space into device space is done with the current transform in the Graphics2D. The given transformation is applied to the image before the transform attribute in the Graphics2D state is applied. The rendering attributes applied include the clip, transform, and composite attributes. Note that the result is undefined, if the given transform is noninvertible.

Draws as much of the specified image as has already been scaled to fit inside the specified rectangle.

The image is drawn inside the specified rectangle of this graphics context's coordinate space, and is scaled if necessary. Transparent pixels do not affect whatever pixels are already there.

This method returns immediately in all cases, even if the entire image has not yet been scaled, dithered, and converted for the current output device. If the current output representation is not yet complete, then drawImage returns false. As more of the image becomes available, the process that draws the image notifies the image observer by calling its imageUpdate method.

A scaled version of an image will not necessarily be available immediately just because an unscaled version of the image has been constructed for this output device. Each size of the image may be cached separately and generated from the original data in a separate image production sequence.

Draws as much of the specified area of the specified image as is currently available, scaling it on the fly to fit inside the specified area of the destination drawable surface. Transparent pixels do not affect whatever pixels are already there.

It does not use a cached, scaled version of the image for this operation. Scaling of the image from source to destination is performed such that the first coordinate of the source rectangle is mapped to the first coordinate of the destination rectangle, and the second source coordinate is mapped to the second destination coordinate. The subimage is scaled and flipped as needed to preserve those mappings.

Draws a line, using the current color, between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in this graphics context's coordinate system.

Draws the outline of an oval. The result is a circle or ellipse that fits within the rectangle specified by the x, y, width, and height arguments.

The oval covers an area that is width + 1 pixels wide and height + 1 pixels tall.

Draws a closed polygon defined by arrays of x and y coordinates. Each pair of (x, y) coordinates defines a point.

This method draws the polygon defined by nPoint line segments, where the first nPoint - 1 line segments are line segments from (xPoints[i - 1], yPoints[i - 1]) to (xPoints[i], yPoints[i]), for 1 ≤ i ≤ nPoints. The figure is automatically closed by drawing a line connecting the final point to the first point, if those points are different.

Draws a sequence of connected lines defined by arrays of x and y coordinates. Each pair of (x, y) coordinates defines a point. The figure is not closed if the first point differs from the last point.

Renders a RenderableImage, applying a transform from image space into user space before drawing. The transformation from user space into device space is done with the current Transform in the Graphics2D. The specified transformation is applied to the image before the transform attribute in the Graphics2D context is applied. The rendering attributes applied include the Clip, Transform, and Composite attributes. Note that no rendering is done if the specified transform is noninvertible.

Rendering hints set on the Graphics2D object might be used in rendering the RenderableImage. If explicit control is required over specific hints recognized by a specific RenderableImage, or if knowledge of which hints are used is required, then a RenderedImage should be obtained directly from the RenderableImage and rendered using drawRenderedImage.

Draws an image, applying a transform from image space into user space before drawing. The transformation from user space into device space is done with the current transform in the Graphics2D. The given transformation is applied to the image before the transform attribute in the Graphics2D state is applied. The rendering attributes applied include the clip, transform, and composite attributes. Note that the result is undefined, if the given transform is noninvertible.

Draws an outlined round-cornered rectangle using this graphics context's current color. The left and right edges of the rectangle are at x and x + width, respectively. The top and bottom edges of the rectangle are at y and y + height.

Draws the text given by the specified string, using this graphics context's current font and color. The baseline of the first character is at position (x, y) in this graphics context's coordinate system.

Draws the text given by the specified iterator, using this graphics context's current color. The iterator has to specify a font for each character. The baseline of the first character is at position (x, y) in this graphics context's coordinate system. The rendering attributes applied include the clip, transform, paint or color, and composite attributes. For characters in script systems such as Hebrew and Arabic, the glyphs may be draw from right to left, in which case the coordinate supplied is the the location of the leftmost character on the baseline.

The resulting arc begins at startAngle and extends for arcAngle degrees. Angles are interpreted such that 0 degrees is at the 3 o'clock position. A positive value indicates a counter-clockwise rotation while a negative value indicates a clockwise rotation.

The center of the arc is the center of the rectangle whose origin is (x, y) and whose size is specified by the width and height arguments.

The resulting arc covers an area width + 1 pixels wide by height + 1 pixels tall.

Fills an oval bounded by the specified rectangle with the current color.

Fills a closed polygon defined by arrays of x and y coordinates.

This method draws the polygon defined by nPoint line segments, where the first nPoint - 1 line segments are line segments from (xPoints[i - 1], yPoints[i - 1]) to (xPoints[i], yPoints[i]), for 1 ≤ i ≤ nPoints. The figure is automatically closed by drawing a line connecting the final point to the first point, if those points are different.

The area inside the polygon is defined using an even-odd fill rule, also known as the alternating rule.

Fills the specified rectangle. The left and right edges of the rectangle are at x and x + width - 1. The top and bottom edges are at y and y + height - 1. The resulting rectangle covers an area width pixels wide by height pixels tall. The rectangle is filled using the graphics context's current color.

Fills the specified rounded corner rectangle with the current color. The left and right edges of the rectangle are at x and x + width - 1, respectively. The top and bottom edges of the rectangle are at y and y + height - 1.

Notify this object when the height or width become available for an image.

Concatenates the current transform of this Graphics2D with a translated rotation transformation. This is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:

          translate(x, y);
          rotate(theta);
          translate(-x, -y);
 

Concatenates the current transform of this Graphics2D with a rotation transformation. This is equivalent to calling transform(R), where R is an AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:

          [   cos(theta)    -sin(theta)    0   ]
          [   sin(theta)     cos(theta)    0   ]
          [       0              0         1   ]
 

Concatenates the current transform of this Graphics2D with a scaling transformation. This is equivalent to calling transform(S), where S is an AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:

          [   sx   0    0   ]
          [   0    sy   0   ]
          [   0    0    1   ]
 

The caller promises that only AWT graphics will be drawn. The print system can use this information to make general assumptions about the types of graphics to be drawn without requiring the application to draw the contents multiple times.

Sets the background color in this context used for clearing a region. When Graphics2D is constructed for a component, the backgroung color is inherited from the component. Setting the background color in the Graphics2D context only affects the subsequent clearRect() calls and not the background color of the component. To change the background of the component, use appropriate methods of the component.

Sets the current clipping area to an arbitrary clip shape. Not all objects which implement the Shape interface can be used to set the clip. The only Shape objects which are guaranteed to be supported are Shape objects which are obtained via the getClip method and via Rectangle objects.

Sets the current clip to the rectangle specified by the given coordinates. Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.

Sets this graphics context's current color to the specified color. All subsequent graphics operations using this graphics context use this specified color.

Sets the Composite in the current graphics state. Composite is used in all drawing methods such as drawImage, drawString, draw, and fill. It specifies how new pixels are to be combined with the existing pixels on the graphics device in the rendering process.

Set the Graphics2D instance which will do the drawing.

Sets this graphics context's font to the specified font. All subsequent text operations using this graphics context use this font.

Sets the Paint in the current graphics state.

Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to overwrite the destination with this graphics context's current color. This sets the logical pixel operation function to the paint or overwrite mode. All subsequent rendering operations will overwrite the destination with the current color.

Sets the preferences for the rendering algorithms. Hint categories include controls for rendering quality and overall time/quality trade-off in the rendering process.

Sets the preferences for the rendering algorithms. Hint categories include controls for rendering quality and overall time/quality trade-off in the rendering process.

Sets the Stroke in the current graphics state.

Sets the Transform in the current graphics state.

Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to alternate between this graphics context's current color and the new specified color. This specifies that logical pixel operations are performed in the XOR mode, which alternates pixels between the current color and a specified XOR color.

When drawing operations are performed, pixels which are the current color are changed to the specified color, and vice versa.

Pixels that are of colors other than those two colors are changed in an unpredictable but reversible manner; if the same figure is drawn twice, then all pixels are restored to their original values.

Concatenates the current transform of this Graphics2D with a shearing transformation. This is equivalent to calling transform(SH), where SH is an AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:

          [   1   shx   0   ]
          [  shy   1    0   ]
          [   0    0    1   ]
 

Composes a Transform object with the transform in this Graphics2D according to the rule last-specified-first-applied. If the currrent transform is Cx, the result of composition with Tx is a new transform Cx'. Cx' becomes the current transform for this Graphics2D. Transforming a point p by the updated transform Cx' is equivalent to first transforming p by Tx and then transforming the result by the original transform Cx. In other words, Cx'(p) = Cx(Tx(p)). A copy of the Tx is made, if necessary, so further modifications to Tx do not affect rendering.

Translates the origin of the graphics context to the point (x, y) in the current coordinate system. Modifies this graphics context so that its new origin corresponds to the point (x, y) in this graphics context's original coordinate system. All coordinates used in subsequent rendering operations on this graphics context will be relative to this new origin.

Concatenates the current transform of this Graphics2D with a translation transformation. This is equivalent to calling transform(T), where T is an AffineTransform represented by the following matrix:

          [   1    0    tx  ]
          [   0    1    ty  ]
          [   0    0    1   ]
