How to turn a graphics2D object into a BufferedImage

Is there a simple way to take a Graphics 2D I have
drawn and turn it into a BufferedImage?
MArk

OK, I understand now. First of all, a subimage has to be rectangular. You can't get a subimage that's an irregular shape. If you want a transparent background, we'll approach that later. First:
// Create a BufferedImage for your original image.
BufferedImage wholeImage = new BufferedImage(x, y, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2 = offScreen.createGraphics();
// Set the clip region to draw in.
g2.setClip(...);
// Draw your entire picture to the offscreen image.
g2.draw(...);
// Now we want a bounding box for your clipped region.
Rectangle clipRect = g2.getClipBounds();
// Get a subimage from your original image that contains the clipped region.
BufferedImage clippedImage = wholeImage.getSubimage(clipRect.getX(), clipRect.getY(), clipRect.getWidth(), clipRect.getHeight());Now you have a subimage that has the proper bounds to contain your clipped image in the smallest rectangle possible. The second image can be written to disk. The TYPE_INT_ARGB implies an alpha channel that gives you a transparent background so there's no bounding "square" wherever you decide to draw your subimage. Does this help?

How to turn a black object into white on an image?

Hi,
on a picture. i can turn a blue object into yellow, green or any other color. and vice versa.
To do that i know 5 different ways, or combination of those methods.
1- Hue/Saturation
2- Color Balance
3- Selective Color
4- Replece Color (Similar to Hue/Saturation)
5- select the area, create a new layer, paint the selected area on new layer, blend the new layer with "linear burn".
but when it comes to black, i can't change the black to another color with any of the ways above. So i was wondering if it is possible to turn a black object into white without killing the texture. Or cleaning the object from colors, making it colorless.
best way i know so far is playing with "exposure" settings. but this time the objcet on the image is becoming blure and loosing its texture.
Here is the object i m trying to make white (or colorless). Do you know any way to do it?
i need to make that shoe as white/colorless as this one below.
Thanks!

Thanks for your help. But i wish it was that easy
i can simply select the whole shoe and do ctrl+i (short cut to invert) to invert the dark colors to white. But while it turns the dark colors into white it also turns white parts into black. which i don't want to.
it doesnt have to be plain white, i need it to be as white as possible then i can use it as a template to try different colors on it. (like the second photo i sent)
If i do it with "invert" the when i paint it the shoe doesnt look real, its because with "invert" option, light parts becomming shadow, and shaddows becoming light.

Changing a Graphics2D object into a BufferedImage

Well subject says it all really. At some point in my code I extract a Graphics2D object from another object, and I'd like to store it as a BufferedImage. The code below does almost what i want, but not quite.
BufferedImage img;
GraphicsConfiguration gc = this.getGraphicsConfiguration();
this.img = gc.createCompatibleImage(getWidth(), getHeight(), BufferedImage.OPAQUE);
Graphics2D g2d = img.createGraphics();
This is the only hint I've been finding around the forums, and it works well if you just want to draw new drawings on a BufferedImage. However, I have a Graphics2D object that already contains alot of graphics, and I want to copy this into a BufferedImage. I can't seem to find a way to do this no matter where i look.
Any help would be appreciated.

reading through alot of code will be alot more work than a simple explanation of the problemA good SSCCE is many times easier to understand than a description.
That said, if I understand what you are trying, I assume you have a paintComponent override in nr1 that has a drawImage statement, and you want to obtain a part of that image in nr2 which is in a different class, to a BufferedImage in the same class as nr2.
If that's it, you can construct a BufferedImage of appropriate size and call the paintComponent method of nr1 with the Graphics reference of the BufferedImage, translated or otherwise transformed if necessary, to paint the panel's painting on the BufferedImage. Something like (in the class containing nr2)
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics());
g.translate(x, y); // optional
g.setClip(x1, y1, w1, h1); // optional
nr1.paintComponent(g);Note that you need a reference to panel nr1 in the class containing nr2.
Now (even if this is not what you needed) which was easier to understand -- the description above or the code? So if that's not it, don't expect anything more without a SSCCE which only demonstrates the problem faced -- not 500 lines of code that have nothing to do with the problem.

I want to know how to turn a word document into a jpeg so I can put the document on Facebook as a picture. I have made posters and if I do a print screen they are unable to be read, or if i turn it into a PDF there is no save as jpeg??

Merging Two Graphics2D objects into one

Is it possible to accomplish this:
1) have a method in class A that returns a Graphics2D object
2) have a method in class B that returns a Graphics2D object
3) have class C call both class A's and class B's methods that return Graphics2D objects
4) lay those two Graphics2D objects into a new Graphics2D object within a component's paint(Graphic g) method
What I am trying to do is a lot like a Viso diagram, that is drag a graphic onto another graphic x numberof times and perform some kind of layering technique.
Thanks

Why don't you pass a graphics 2D into each method, and get method to draw onto that. Then it becomes very simple to combine each.

How to turn a pdf file into excel document and keep original format

I Have an excel bid form that i use all the time ,then i convert it into a PDF And once in a while i need to add something to it I paid for acrobat but when i try to turn the PDF back into an excel document the format is changed , the columns are in the wrong places And it does not look at all like the original excell form is there any thing i can do to fix this If not this will be useless to me any help appreciated

A PDF does not contain any spreadsheet, word processing or page layout file format information.
No "format", columns, rows, etc.
"When you create a PDF, you’re painting a picture. Your paintbrush is the is the result of a combination of the software used to create the source document and the software you’ve chosen to convert your source document into the universal electronic document format we all know as PDF.
Like the painter’s brushstrokes, each character, each line and each image is fundamentally independent, but they can interact with each other to produce particular visual effects. On the PDF page, objects are connected by a coordinate system and not a lot else. There’s no logical, semantic connection between the letters comprising a word; characters simply happen at a series of locations on the rendered page.
As originally designed, PDF is fundamentally a system for painting objects onto a page, plus a whole lot of other features we aren’t talking about right now! There’s no innate concept of words, sentences, paragraphs, columns, headings, images, tables, lists, footnotes – any of the semantic structures that distinguish a “document” from a meaningless heap of letters, shapes and colors. PDF is fundamentally about how the document appears on the page, not how it looks when abstracted from the page."

How do I convert an Object into an Array?

If I have an instance of type object that I know is really a DataGrid row that was cast into an object when passed to a function, how can I cast that Object to an array, such that each index of this array would correspond to the information in a given column of the row?

@Sathyamoorthi
Can you please explain what this function does? Essentially, what should be contained in the String?
I printed out the string and it seems like I am getting a random row in the Object, as opposed to first or last. Why is that?
UPDATE: I printed out the value of dataGrid0.columns[5].dataField but it just turned out to be the id of the column.

is JQ iweb compatible?
jQuery is a very popular JavaScript library with which you can bring interactivity into web pages. I know almost nothing about iWeb except that it is consumer level software for non-coders. That said, if you can access the source code (HTML and CSS), you should be able to use jQuery plug-ins in your web pages.

How to turn an old laptop into a jukebox

hi all!
because this is my first post, i just want to say that i really like the arch community. didn't need to post anything until now, but since i switched to arch (2-3 years ago), this forum & wiki always helped me. so thanks!
ok - i want to turn an olld laptop into a jukebox for partys. it is an acer aspire 1692 (Pentium-M 740 1.73GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, ATI Mobility Radeon X700 64MB). so what i want is nothing than a fast system, playing the music. the music player should have the following (very basic) features: shuffle, fading, queuing, music library and fastness. my current music library contains around 19000 songs (~100gb). i think i would like to use openbox. but i still can't find a music player. i really like mpd but there is no such feature like queuing (for example, having a playlist, and then adding a song as the next song to be played in the cue, and then continue with the playlist).
any suggestions? comments?
thanks!
hooch

I would like to see you fit 100GB worth of music into an 80GB HDD ;P
Are you saying none of those https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ions#Audio fits your needs?
I would pause mplayer playing the playlist and open another one to play just this track, then return to the first one and continue with the playlist :-) I don't think mplayer supports fast handling of music libraries of ~100GB-size though. How about http://www.clementine-player.org/ ?

How to get customer-specific objects into PCUI ?

Hello,
we want to get an Z-table as tab page of the business partner-application into PCUI. It should 'only' be possible to create new entries - today there is no need to modify or delete records.
Does there exist something like a "cookbook" on this task or has anyone of you experience how to get customer-specific objects (without using EEWB) into PCUI ?
Thanks in advance
Martin

Option 1:
If you are good in ABAP.
You can add new tab in which create a new Field group. Assign it to a model access clas in which handle the table update.You can get the details in PCUI cookbook itsel.
Option 2:
If you are good at java
Develop an FM to update the table.
Call the FM from webdynpro
Include this webdynpro as HTML viewer in PCUI.
Regards,
Abdul Raheem S

How do u pass an object into a method

I want to create a method getData that takes an object of type Helper and returns an object of the same type.
how do u pass objects into a method and how do u get objects as returns im a bit confused

That will just allow you to pass a parameter. If you want to return a helper object
Helper paramHelper = new Helper();
Helper someHelper = callMethod(paramHelper);
public Helper callMethod(Helper hobj) {
    //<some code>
    Helper retHelper = new Helper();
    //<blah, blah>
