Flash paint program saving

Hi, I need help with a saving function.
I have made a flash painting program, and need a "save function" that will save the image to my database.
Could someone help me write a script or already have a nice easy script for me to use?

check klingemann's bitmapexporter class.

Paint program saving

My paint program has the ability to draw rectangles, ovals, and lines. I want to be able to save my picture which is drawn on a DrawingPanel. Everything that I add to the picture is stored in private ArrayList<Shape> shapes = new ArrayList<Shape>(); This saves something because a file is created with the file name I specified, but when I open the file, my drawing panel remains blank. What do I do so that I am able to save the art I have created on my Drawing Panel?
/** Open file */
     private void open()
         if (jFileChooser1.showOpenDialog(this) ==
           JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                open(jFileChooser1.getSelectedFile());
     /** Open file with the specified File instance */
     private void open(File file)
         try
                BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(
             new FileInputStream(file));
                in.close();
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, file.getName() + " Opened");
         catch (IOException ex)
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening " + file.getName());
     /** Save file */
     private void save()
         if (jFileChooser1.showSaveDialog(this) ==
           JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
             save(jFileChooser1.getSelectedFile());
     /** Save file with specified File instance */
     private void save(File file)
         try
              BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(
                 new FileOutputStream(file));
                out.close();
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, file.getName() + " Saved ");
         catch (IOException ex)
              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error saving " + file.getName());
     }

On save, you are creating the file and imediately closing it (which will create an empty file).
On load, you are opening that file and imediately closing it (which will not read anything).
I think, you are missing something here. Probably to do with serialization, ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream.
Google for a serialisation tutorial if you don't know how to do that.

Paint program with save function

Anyone know a way to make a paint program in flash 8 with
save function?
The paint area should be quite large so the current jpg
saving methods don't seem to work.
Any solutions for this?

You probably have to specify what exactly is the problem. Are
you referring to the data size that has to be transfered to a
server?

I need ready code for a simple paint program today

hi all I need ready code for a simple paint program today for me ics projct
plz give me a halp on this give me what you have with you and it is so good if it look like this :
Design a GUI based drawing Java application that works like a simple paint program
1-There should be a number of buttons for choosing different shapes to draw. For example, there should be a button for rectangle. If user presses the rectangle button, then he can draw a rectangle using mouse. Similarly, there should be a button for each shape(rectangle, circle, ellipse, and line etc.
2-The shapes can be filled with different colors.
3-There should be option of moving .
4- There should also be three menus including File, Shape, and Color menu.
i. File menu can have menu items New and Exit. If user selects New, the drawing area will be cleared and all shapes will be erased.
ii. Shape menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 2 described above. It will have menu items for drawing all the different shapes. For example, there will be menu item for rectangle; so user can draw a rectangle by selecting the menu item for rectangle.
iii. Color menu will serve the same purpose as of feature 3 described above. It will have menu items for all the colors which are shown in color buttons. The user can select a color from this menu and then click inside a shape to fill it with the selected color.

Read the Swing tutorial. There are sections on how to use menus and painting and all other kinds of stuff you need to do this homework assignment. Nobody here is going to write the code for you:

Need help with algorithm for my paint program

I was making a paint program with using a BufferedImage where the user draws to the BufferedImage and then I draw the BufferedImage onto the class I am extending JPanel with. I want the user to be able to use an undo feature via ctrl+z and I also want them to be able to update what kind of paper they're writing on live: a) blank paper b) graph paper c) lined paper. I cannot see how to do this by using BufferedImages. Is there something I'm missing or must I do it another way? I am trying to avoid the other way because it seems too demanding on the computer but if this is not do-able then I guess I must but I feel I should ask you guys if what I am doing is logical or monstrous.
What I am planning to do is make a LinkedList that has the following 4 parameters:
1) previous Point
2) current Point
3) current Color
4) boolean connectPrevious
which means that the program would basically draw the instantaneous line using the two points and color specified in paintComponent(Graphics g). The boolean value is for ctrl+z (undo) purposes. I am also planning to use a background thread to eliminate repeated entries in the LinkedList except for the last 25 components of the LinkedList (that number might change in practice).
What do you guys think?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Look at the package javax.swing.undo package - UndoableEdit interface and UndoManager class.
Just implement the interface. Store all necessary data to perform your action (colors, pixels, shapes etc.). Add all your UndoableEdits in an UndoManager instance and call undo() redo() when you need.

Help with Paint program.

Hello. I am somewhat new to Java and I was recently assigned to do a simple paint program. I have had no trouble up until my class started getting into the graphical functions of Java. I need help with my program. I am supposed to start off with a program that draws lines and changes a minimum of 5 colors. I have the line function done but my color change boxes do not work and I am able to draw inside the box that is supposed to be reserved for color buttons. Here is my code so far:
// Lab13110.java

}If anyone could point me in the right direction of how to go about getting my buttons to work and fixing the button box, I would be greatly appreciative. I just need to get a little bit of advice and I think I should be good after I get this going.
Thanks.

LodePaint: Painting Program

LodePaint is an open source painting program similar to (Kolour)Paint but with more advanced features, more filters, soft brushes, alpha channel support, some HDR image support, etc...
The program is aimed mostly at pixel artists, icons, texture editing, "programmer's art", etc...
It can be downloaded here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lodepaint/files/
Just unzip & run. It requires SDL, and hardware accelerated OpenGL to run.
Please try it out!

Pls. help us resolve this issue.

What is the process name you see hanging?
Anyway, to avoid that use the offline installers
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

170GB programs saved on hard drive? Without installing anything special?

Apparently I have over 170 GB of programs saved on my hard drive, but I do not use it for anything fancy or did not install anything spectacular. When checking the program size, iMovie is the biggest one with only 2,1 GB. I cannot find the reason why there should be so much on the hard drive.
I have a Macbook Pro of middle 2010, updated to Yosemite lately. Would really appreciate your help! Thanks you a lot in advance :-)

Cant open PC Paint files with Appleworks paint program

I have been using the very simple Paint program that comes with windows. I have finally made the move and ditched the PC for something more stable.
When I try to import my .bmp pictures I used to work on into Appleworks it insists on opeing the Drawing program that has no "fill" etc. Even when I open the Paint program and then "force" it to open a .bmp only part of the picture is shown. I thought that a .bmp is pretty basic and common file type.
Does anyone know if Appleworks can handle .bmp files and if not what are other options. I didn't really feel the need to have a $170 paint program for what I am doing.
Hope you can help.
Michael

Dale,
Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I need to use the "fill" in the paint program.
I have actually just been able to get the file to load into Appleworks paint after reading about using the .pict save. All looked good untill I tried to fill. What happens now is that the fill is very chunky and does not bleed thru at all. This makes it pretty useless at the moment.
Same problem, with a twist now.
Looking forward to any further ideas.
Michael

Paint program : exporting image data ?

i have a simple paint program that allows me to draw by freehand.
If i have 2 canvas, and i draw on one, how would i update the other one in real time ?
i want to create a multiplayer game based on Pictionary (guess the drawing, like charades). So I i need to know the best way to extract the screen information of the drawing from one canvas and import it into another one.
My paint program consists of JPanel MouseListener to draw.
Thanks

also im using code similar to the paint program used here
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=571193&messageID=2827280
but one problem... if i resize, minimize or load a window on top of it, the painted image disappears, what do i need to modify to redraw it ?
thanks

Paint program - layers

Hi i am in the process of making a paint program and have decided to go through the (hopefully not) long process of using layers.
at the moment all shapes, when drawn, are stored in a vector and then painted onto the graphics of a class extending JPanel.
what i want to do is store them in separate images, all the size of the JPanel canvas (so they can be positioned at (0, 0)) and anyt area of the image that isnt part of the shape should be transparent.
i have tried creating a new graphics object for each shape and then painting them onto an ARGB buffered image then storing all the images in a new vector and finally painting them onto the canvas however this isnt working.
is there an easier way to do this, or does anybody know what has happened?
thanks

If they're in a vector, they're basically already in a kind of layered system, of course.
If what you want is to have all the shapes live in their own coordinate system, and then be able to assign relative positions to draw their system in a larger coordinate system...well, I thought that Java2D already handled that. But if it doesn't, then rather than drawing in images, another thing you can do is create a class that represents a coordinate system. Basically, all it would have to do is have two state elements: a reference to a shape, and a reference to an (x,y) pair where you want to anchor that shape for drawing. Then your vector could hold these objects.
It wouldn't have to be much more than:
class Layer {
private Shape shape;
private Point location;
// constructor that sets these; shape could be final, but location probably shouldn't be
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// maybe use AffineTransform to move the shape to the given location, then
// paint it?
}You should probably check on a forum that does more with GUIs though.
But, if you want to, you can also make each layer just be an image. You'd gain some of the operations of images (like Graphics knowing how to scale them) but might lose image quality. There are a bunch of tutorials about double buffering that will tell you how to create an intermediate image; you could apply that to make multiple images, if you wanted to.
