Drawing Images. Making them Durable?

Im trying to create an application that draws images to the screen. So for example, it draws an image (call it image x) where the user left clicks the mouse. It draws fine. Then when the user clicks at a new spot, the first image x is erased when the next is placed on the screen. This isn't what I want, I want all previous images from clicking to say. From searching, it seems my problem is that drawn images are not durable. Other forum posts didn't help me understand the solution to the problem so any help would be wonderful.

Thanks for the quick reply, that seems to work best for this application. Another thing, is there any way to generate a BufferedImage that represents the panel? Currently I am using:
<BufferedImage> = robot.createScreenCapture(<Rectangle>);
to do so, but would not depending on where the window is on the screen. I couldn't figure out how to determine the windows location. Is there a method to create the BufferedImage or obtain the window's coordinates?
edit: I was looking at the getLocation() and getSize() methods of the component class. Seems like they should work if I use
<BufferedImage> = robot.createScreenCapture(new Rectangle (getLocation(), getSize());
I'm going to bed right now and didn't get it to work. Seems like it should.

Draw image over Swing to mask.

I have a window and I've overridden it make it draw all of it's components and then draw images over them (on a back buffer and then flip so the swing shouldn't ever be seen).
It works perfectly and the swing components (JButtons and the like) catch the clicks when I click on the images masking them. The problem is when I click them for a very brief moment I see the Swing component come through. How is Swing doing this? Since I blt in a specific order and then flip. Somehow it is using the Graphics for the window directly - I overrode invalidate in a few ways but that just broke the components altogether.
Anyone masked Swing components with images using a BufferStrategy? I would love some advice.

AbstractButton (which JButton extends) calls JComponent.paintImmediately upon a click, so I don't think you can stop it without overriding AbstractButton and JButton (not recommended).
Either override the paint method for your components to look like your overlaid image or remove your Swing components and test the mouse click location in the MouseListener.

Problems drawing images form another class

Ok as the title says I'm having trouble drawing images from a different class. I have a class that represents a plane and it has a draw' method that draws its .gif image.
public void draw (Graphics g)
g.drawImage(planepic , xPos, yPos, null)
then in my main class in the paint method i have
plane.draw(g);
I think my problem is the null for my image observer. I tried using null as my image observer and i got a error saying i can't make a static reference to a non static method.
I've done some research because i never really understood static but i still don't quite get it.
Also when I use this as my image observer i get a error in my plane object.
I also just tried passing and making a object for my main class and i still got the static error.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advanceWhen you call draw(g) from your other class you hand it a Graphics context that you instantiated somewhere else ie: in another class. Without a more complete example it is really impossible to determine your issue for sure,
but if I was to guess I would say you need to make sure that the Graphics context handed to the draw(Graphics) method was instantiated from a Component that was already visible. ie: Do a f
Frame.createImage() from your parent frame after iyou have already called setVisible(true); In other words I suspect you are making and Image from some other Component that is not yet visible. That however is a guess so if not the issue post the rest of the code or at least a minimal implementation that demonstrates this.
About static:
static means the class/variable is the same throughout ALL classes of that type and if changed in one instance it will change and thus be the same for all instances.
You CAN call static by referencing the base class Object without having to instantiate.
ie:given
public class SomeClass
static String name;
static String getName
   if(name == null)
      name = "DefaultName";
   return name;
}Thus you could call..
String name = SomeClass.getName();As opposed to
SomeClass myClass = new SomeClass();
      myClass.getName();This can get you in trouble if you try to make a method that is static
that then tries to reference non static variables.
ie:
public class SomeClass
int x;
static String name;
SomeClass()
   x=0;
static String getName
   if(name == null)
      name = "DefaultName";
   x++;
   return name;
}In this case SomeClass.getName(); will throw and exception because it is trying to access[b] x from a static context .
Hope that clears that up for you; if not post a more complete example.
Good Luck!

Problems drawing image

you have these declarations
private Image diagram1;
private Image diagram2;
and in your constructor you have these
Image diagram1 = getToolkit().getImage...
Image diagram2 = getToolkit().getImage...
the inclusion of the 'type' Image makes them local to the constructor

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Can one add more than one photo layer to a draw image?

I cannot seem to find a way to add more than one photo or photo layer to a Draw image, but the Draw page on Adobe seems to imply multiple photos can be added. How might I accomplish this? Thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, Draw is currently limited to one photo layer, and only one photo within that layer.
Hope that helps,

Can any one tell me exact Specification to draw image on a page.

What don't you understand from the PDF Reference?
You need an Image XObject and the Do operator in the content stream.

Using image as theme on top of base map

I have a table which contains JPEG image stored as BLOB. I want to display this image as theme on top of my base map. I also want to display point on this theme.
Is it possible to do this?
Please provide me useful pointers for achieving this scenario.
Thanks in advance.

To setup image themes, besides the BLOB column you need a geometry column to specify the bounds of the image (MBR). Take a look at MapViewer's Users Guide section about Image themes (section 2.3.5).
About the points, you can setup another theme to render the points.
Once you have the themes you can add them to your base map, or render them on top of your base map. Notice that in Oracle Maps, currently image themes must be part of the base map, and you can not render it alone on top of the base map.

I have made flash cards on my ipad. I am trying to put images on them. How do I do this?

My daughter is working on a project for school. She has made flash cards and is trying to put images onto them... She has taken the pictures using her camera. Now what does she have to do to put the pictures onto the flash cards?
Thanks!!

She says she used Ifree Flash Cards??? I don't know anything about the IPad. I did however try to copy and paste but I guess it doesn't work the same as on a computer???
Everytime we tried to copy the photo all it will do is make an extra copy?
Thanks for your answer and any help.

Blast from the past: How do I draw image maps in Dreamweaver CC 2014?

Need to update some old stuff, and can´t find where to draw image-maps on images.

First, you need to be in Design View to get the image map tools to appear.
Once there, the image map icons should show when you select an image. If they don't, you may have your Properties panel collapsed. In the bottom right corner of the Properties panel, there's a tiny triangle, click that to expand the panel to include the image map tools.
