Paint falling of
Hello i bought an iPhone 5 for a few month ago and i have always used a cover. But my iPhone is starting to loose The paint on the back;-) Can u please tell me how to do;-)
Then you'll have to have a 3rd party repair it and it will void your warranty.
The iPhone warranty is ONLY vailid in the country of purchase. Note, however, that the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes.

Lightroom lets me set up Painter as my 2nd external editor, but when I right click on a photo in Lightroom and select "Edit in Painter", it launches Painter but fails to open the file.
I had hoped that I'd find a workaround in this forum, or that recent updates to Windows Vista, Lightroom and Painter X would have fixed this. No luck -- so I devised the following workaround that should work for you if you're having similar problems:
1) In Lightroom select Edit, Preferences and in the Additional External Editor section, press the Choose button
2) Browse to the Windows folder on your hard drive and select explorer.exe, then press the Open button
3) Back in the Additional External Editor section, choose File Format = either .PSD or .TIF (remember this for the next step - I choose .PSD as I create layers in Painter). Press the OK button and you're now done with the Lightroom portion of this.
4) Open Windows Explorer and browse to a place where you see a .PSD file (or .TIFF if you chose .TIFF above)
5) Right click on that file and choose Properties
6) You'll see that it says type of file = .PSD (or .TIFF). If it says "Opens with Painter", you're done. If not, click on Change, select Painter and then press OK and OK again.
Whenever you're in Lightrooom and you want to edit a photo in Painter, right click on the photo and Select "Edit in explorer.exe".
I assume this approach might work for other external editors that are not playing nice with Lightroom.A press release at DxO mentioned they were only able to offer the v4.5 plugin as the
additional external editor by way of some clever programming. They are awaiting the LR SDK to ease that burden. I'm not sure Painter falls into the same category of product.
>I choose .PSD as I create layers in Painter
I haven't used Painter in a while, but are you sure Painter can open Adobe layered TIFs or PSDs? Don't they use a proprietary layering scheme? -
+* MB404/B - MacBook Black 2.4Ghz/2GB/250GB, Mac OS X 10.5 - Static noise (sounding like a pop, blip or bip) from either left or right speaker area bought new March 2008.+
I bought the MacBook Black MB404/B, 1st March 2008. No problems for about a month. Then started to display this strange static sound (as above) from the left speaker area. The sound is audible just before the start-up chime. A static blip followed by the chime. The sound will also occur just before any other warning sound. e.g. turning up volume, received email sound, incoming iChat message etc. Each sound is preceded by the static blip, followed by the standard sound for that application.
However; if the blip has just occurred, it won't do it again for a few minutes.
The static blip is also audible if the MacBook has been muted.
Also, plugging in and unplugging headphones would cause the Mac to do three static blips in concession, whilst flashing the red optical light inside the headphone port.
ATTEMPTED SOLUTION: I reset PRAM/PMU, Reinstalled the OS. Started Mac in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) using external FireWire drive. No change.
16th April 2008 I had the MacBook replaced under the guarantee.
When turning it on and running through the welcome to Mac animation, the music was scratchy static sounding from the left speaker. It also made the exact same blip sound before the start-up chime. It appeared not to make the noise at first with the warning sounds, but the next day 17th April 2008 it started to behave the same way. Additionally it makes a slightly louder static sound from the right speaker area which appears more intermittent.
This appears a manufacturing defect having occurred with two machines now.
Note:It's not the hard disc, the sound of a failing HD is quite different. I originally posted this earlier at appledefects.com
Anyone else noticed or experienced this? I'm currently calibrating the new ones battery and if it still displays the problem, I think I may ask for my money back (I bought it from John Lewis:UK, who tend to be better than buying direct from Apple).
Cheers.
Message was edited by: Stuartea71UPDATE: On Saturday 19th April 2008 the static blip sound from the right speaker area reoccurred, however; this time it alternated from left to right. I've made recordings which I will upload. My solution: I returned the MacBook for a refund on Sunday 20th April 2008.
I imagine some people might be happy to live with this problem, but personally it would've driven me nuts, especially after paying nearly £1000 for it. I never had an issue like this with my PowerBook 12"/17" or TiBook (despite its paint falling off it always worked without any strange audio glitches). -
Programming a Pencil Tool on Paint?
Here's my code for Scribble(a pencil tool) and its superclass Shape. Basically, my program remembers where the mouse has been and draws a line from the previous point to the current point. However, the scribble doesn't show up (occasionally you will see a small line at the very end) I think the problem is that each Scribble object only has one previous and one current. Therefore, there is only 1 line left at the end. How can I correct this?
Thanks in advance!
Note: this doesn't run since there are about 5 other classes needed. I guess can post them if you want? xD

Here are a few of my thoughts
#1 There is a Shape interface in core java already, as well as plenty of very useful shapes (Rectangle, Ellipse2D, Area). Shape has some really nice features like contains(...) and intersects(...). By creating a separate class for your Shape objects, you ensure that the two will be incompatible.
#2 As tempting as it is, it is a bad idea to include a Color with a shape. What if you want it to have more than one Color? What if you want the insides of the shape to be filled by an Image? I just created and posted a class on the java forums called Renderable, which combines a java.awt.Shape with a java.awt.Paint.
#3 Below is my PaintArea class. It "scribbles" on an Image. Maybe this will give you some ideas. To compile it, you will either have to find my MathUtils class (which I've posted here before) or reimplement the distance and angle methods. There is also a reference to WIndowUtilities... find that or remove it and put the PaintArea in a Frame and do setVisible(true)
You are welcome to use and modify this code, but please don't change the package and please make sure that you add attribution if you submit this in an academic setting.

Paint over or replace color in a selected area - How?
I was in the mountains taking photos yesterday.
Unfortunately while I was there a rather pale blue sky turned grey.
So I have a nice water fall and ugly white grey sky above it.
I have PSE 9 and bought it for occasions just like this.
Just downloaded a trial version of PSE 11.
What is my best option to convert the sky to blue?
Since I'm a begginer, any steps listed to get this acheived would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance.Try starting with the Smart Brush (under the Red Eye Removal tool, looks like a wide paint brush). It's default setting is "Blue Skies". Basically, you use this tool to paint in a region that you want to apply the effect (for non-beginners, it uses the Smart Selection tool to create a mask for an Adjustment Layer). As you paint in the sky, it will attempt to find the boundaries of the sky region automatically and turn it blue.

PowerBook G4 Alu - The painting flaked
NOTICE : English version follow
Moins de 6 mois après l'achat de mon PowerBook, il est survenu un défaut dans le panneau qui entoure le clavier, juste au dessous de la touche option/pomme du clavier. La peinture s'est écaillée.
Les photos du problème sont disponibles à l'adresse URL :
http://www.ezone3.net/private/apple/paintpb2006/W85190KHSQ7-DSCF661.jpg
http://www.ezone3.net/private/apple/paintpb2006/W85190KHSQ7-DSCF662.jpg
Sous garantie, j'ai donc demandé à AppleCare de changer la pièce défectueuse.
Ils ont refusé en siginifiant que les aspects esthétiques n'étaient pas considérés dans la garantie.
Hors, il n'existe à ce jour, aucune mention signifiant cette exclusion de garantie dans les clauses APPLE.
J'ai dû donc écrire une lettre très officielle à Apple les conjurant de changer la pièce sous garantie.
J'attends la réponse...
Less than 6 months after the purchase of my PowerBook, it arose a defect into the trap which surrounds the keyboard, just below the touch option / apple of the keyboard. The painting flaked.
The photos of the problem are available on the URL address :
http://www.ezone3.net/private/apple/paintpb2006/W85190KHSQ7-DSCF661.jpg
http://www.ezone3.net/private/apple/paintpb2006/W85190KHSQ7-DSCF662.jpg
Under guarantee, I thus asked AppleCare to change the defective piece.
They refused and said to me that the aesthetic aspects were not considered in the guarantee.
Except, it doesn't exist no mention meaning this exclusion from APPLE guarantee.
I thus had to write a very official letter to Apple begging them to change the piece under guarantee.
I wait for the answer...I'm having the same problem, and I really don't see how this doesn't fall under the "workmanship" clause of the warranty. I for one am really dumbfounded that even after the TiBook fiasco Apple still uses paint at all, which can never be permanent by its very nature. What's so different about this strip of metal that it can't be aluminum anyway?
Any news here? I for one am also going to try and get this fixed by Apple, for free. Ridiculous. Factory cosmetic defect fully within the warranty. You should not be able to damage your computer by wiping it with your finger, as I did. -
Hi Experts,
I have requirement wherein I want to use Report Painter to derive output for a company code.I have got 2 Company Codes which are used in Report Painter but I want to do the configuration for the 3rd Company Code as well.
Can someone please guide me what are the prerequisites required to do the same.
I also observed that when a Financial Document is getting posted in SAP system 3 other docs like
Profit Center Doc.
Controlling Doc &
Spl Purpose Ledger Doc is also getting posted.But for my 3rd Co Code No Profit Center Document is getting posted.
Can someone please advice a solution for the same.
Regards
RahulHi,
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply but can you please advice what exactly do i need to do in Transaction GB02 and GCBA since i checked the settings for both the Co Codes and in 1 CO Code No Ranges defined are as follows and nothing is defined in Second Co Code.
Year From No To No
1992 0000100000 0000199999
9999 0000300000 0000999999
1992 0000200000 0000299999
9999 0001000000 0009999999
I do not know how but the 1st CO Code has Profit Center Doc generated as 0016897961 which does not fall in the No range defined.
I copied No range from Co Code 1 to Co Code 2 still no Profit Center Doc is generated
Request you to please look into the same.
Regards

Painting in Applets using another class
hi all
I am trying the simplest of codes, using another class which paints something on the client area.
when I run it it does draw it on the screen but then disappears or is covered. ne suggestions or reasons why this might be happening...
the code is as follows
package test;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics2D.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class TestApp1 extends JApplet {
private Container container;
public Rectangle rect;
public CTest test1;
public Graphics g;
public void init()
container=getContentPane();
g=container.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
test1=new CTest(false,g2);
public void run()
container.add(test1);
public void stop()
public void destroy()
package test;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.*;
public class CTest extends JPanel {
protected
Graphics2D m_graphics;
Rectangle m_PlotRect;
public
CTest(boolean resizable,Graphics2D g)
m_graphics =g;
m_PlotRect=new Rectangle(150,50,50,50);
void DrawAxis()
m_graphics.setBackground(Color.white);
m_graphics.setColor(Color.black);
m_graphics.drawRect(
(int)m_PlotRect.getMinX(),
(int)m_PlotRect.getMinY(),
(int)m_PlotRect.getWidth(),
(int)m_PlotRect.getHeight()
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
DrawAxis();
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
DrawAxis();thanx guys
i could solve the problem. thought its good to share it with every one in case some one else falls for the same trap.
what i did was tried to pass the Graphics object to my CTest class and then painted everything on the basis of that.
this is where the code gets freaky.
the correct way of doing it is not passing the graphics object to the CTest class but use the graphics object passed by the system to the paintcomponent function to do all the painting in the class.
I did that and it works well.
cheers

Coloring issues with magic wand tool and paint bucket tool, leaves uncolored areas near drawn lines
Photoshop CS6 doesn't color properly. Whetever I use brush tool or elliptical marquee tool to do the lines (with brush tool I use Hard Round, not soft), it doesn't color the whole area when i fill them with color. This happens with both magic wand tool AND paint bucket tool, there is always a small uncolored area near the lines. I have tolerance on 30, and anti-alias, contiguous and sample all layers boxes checked. (this setting worked on my old CS3) I have tried tolerance from 0 to 100, no difference. I have also tried unchecking the boxes I just mentioned, still no difference. I hope there is a solution for this, because it is tedious to always go to the Select - Modify - Expand every time I need to color some area. So how do I fix this problem? I use seperate layers for lines and colors, like I have always done with other Photoshop versions. Even in school where they have CS5 those normal settings work.
Hello Chris,
I don't think this is a "user error". I think Adobe should be able to program a state of the art paint bucket, which is capable to get this done right.
Other applications are able to get this done right.
Please don't fall into a programmer's ignorance ("this is done right by definition") but listen to us artists and improve this unintuitive behavior. Add something like "ignore transparent pixels", because this doesn't even work if you draw on an empty layer.
Thank you! -
Unable to paint (using paint() in JPanel) inside mouse listeners
This is hard to explain but I'll do my best :)
I've created a little game and at some point I needed to make images "move" on the JPanel (through paint()), on a checkers-based game board.
The game works like so:
it has a mouse listener for clicks and movement, and the main game process is THINK(), REPAINT(), which is repeated until the user wins (the above is inside a while).
The mouse actions were added to the constructor so they are always active, THINK changes the enemy's locations, and REPAINT simply calls "paint()" again.
The picture is either an enemy or the player, and it can only "rest" on squares.
(e.g. point's x and y must be divided in 50).
While doing that, I wanted to make the movement more sleek and clean,
instead of them simply jumping from one square to the other with a blink of the eye.
So, I've created MOVEACTOR, that "moves" an enemy or a player from its current point (actor.getPoint()) to the requested future square (futurePoint).
//actor = enemy or player, has getPoint() that returnes the current point on the board where he rests on.
//futurePoint = the new point where the enemy or player should be after the animation.
//please ignore obvious stuff that has nothing to do with what I asked -- those will be deleted in the future, for they are only temporary checking extra lines and stuff.
//also feel free to ignore the "jumpX" things. Those are just to change images, to imitate physical "jumping" animation.
protected void moveActor(Actor actor, Point futurePoint)
Point presentPoint = actor.getPoint();
int x = (int)presentPoint.getX(), y = (int)presentPoint.getY();
int addToX, addToY;
if (futurePoint.getX() > x) addToX = 1;
else addToX = -1;
if (futurePoint.getY() > y) addToY = 1;
else addToY = -1;
Point middlePoint = new Point(x,y);
int imageCounter = 0;
while ( (middlePoint.getX()!=futurePoint.getX()) && (middlePoint.getY()!=futurePoint.getY()) ){
imageCounter++;
x+=addToX;
y+=addToY;
middlePoint.setLocation(x,y);
actor.setPoint(middlePoint);
/*if (imageCounter<=10) actor.setStatus("jump1");
else if (imageCounter<=40) actor.setStatus("jump2");
else if (imageCounter<=50) actor.setStatus("jump3");*/
repaint();
try {animator.sleep(1);} catch (InterruptedException e) {}
//actor.setStatus("idle");
}I use the above on several occasions:
[1] When an enemy moves. Summary:
if (playerIsToVillainsRight) xToAdd = 50;
else if (playerIsToVillainsLeft) xToAdd = -50;
else if (playerIsOnSameRowAsVillain) xToAdd = 0;
if (playerIsBelowVillain) yToAdd = 50;
else if (playerIsAboveVillain) yToAdd = -50;
else if (playerIsOnSameColumnAsVillain) yToAdd = 0;
Point futurePoint = new Point (villainX+xToAdd, villainY+yToAdd);
moveActor(actors[currentVillain], futurePoint);[2] When the player moves. Summary (this is inside the mouseClicked listener):
//mouseLocation = MouseWEvent.getPoint();
//stl, str, etc = rectangles that represents future location of the player on the board.
if (waitingForPlayer) {
if (stl.contains(mouseLocation) && !hoveringVillain(stl)) {
moveActor(actors[0], stl.getLocation());
waitingForPlayer = false;
if (str.contains(mouseLocation) && !hoveringVillain(str)) {
moveActor(actors[0], str.getLocation());
waitingForPlayer = false;
if (sbl.contains(mouseLocation) && !hoveringVillain(sbl)) {
moveActor(actors[0], sbl.getLocation());
waitingForPlayer = false;
if (sbr.contains(mouseLocation) && !hoveringVillain(sbr)) {
moveActor(actors[0], sbr.getLocation());
waitingForPlayer = false;
SO ... WHAT IS THE QUESTION?!?
What I see when I run the game:
the animation of the enemy (first code) works, but the animation of the player (second code, inside the mouse listeners) -- doesn't!
The purpose of the moveActor is to move the enemy or player pixel by pixel, until its in the future point,
instead of skipping the pixels between the squares and going straight for the future location.
So what comes out is, that the enemy is moving pixel by pixel, and the player simply jumps there!
I doublechecked and if I use moveActor with the player OUTSIDE the mouse listener, it works (i think).
Any ideas what is the source of this problem?
Hope I made myself clear enough :D
Thanks,
Eshed.I don't know if thats what happens, nor how to fix the thread problems. The mosue actions are "threaded" by default, no? And the moving thing happens after the mouse was clicked, and if the enemy's moving the user can still move his mouse and get responses, like "enemy didn't move yet" and stuff.

Constrain painting to a color or shape area
In short, I want to be able to select an area of a single fill or shape -- Photoshop Style -- and constrain painting (with the Blob brush most likely) to within that shape. I want to be able to do this without creating a clipping path. This technique is used by Photoshop artists all the time for quick, precise shading and highlighting, and would be immensely helpful for artists who work in Illustrator, many of whom make cartoons. This would be a time-saving and workflow feature more than anything.
This is a feature I've long sought out, and actually had a long discussion in the help forum to see if such a feature already existed (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2586776#2586776). It was agreed by several of the participants that it doesn't, but that it would be useful.
When I shade in photoshop (say, a add shadows to a cartoon), I will use some selection tool, usually the Magic Wand, to select a flat color area so that I cannot draw "outside the lines." This allows me to quickly shade an area with a perfect outline that doesn't bleed into any other areas. Not only is this faster than using vector tools, it creates a more painterly or human touch to the shading, which is sometimes desirable.
In Illustrator, you currently have to resort to one of three options (generally speaking), none of which are fast or elegant, and become especially cumbersome with complex illustrations. The first involves using clipping paths to create a stencil of sorts. The second involves using Live Paint -- you draw with the blob brush outside the lines, and then select and delete areas that fall outside an outline. The third is to use the pathfinder to remove areas that fall outside an outline.
All of these methods take extra steps, can be slow, and involve clean-up. They also involve making duplicates of layers, which can bog down a computer if the file is too large. Given that Illustrator ALREADY can compute where an area of a certain fill begins or ends, or where a shape begins or ends, it would be nice if it would automate this process of constraining painting to a given fill or shape area.Good question Doug (I'll post the response here as this thread is more relavent at this point). I believe I understand the thrust of your question, but apologies if I'm missing the point.
There are actually a few reasons why I would prefer the solution I am requesting.The main reason is personal, and it's one of workflow. I'm simply more comfortable and faster when drawing brushstrokes with my tablet than I am at manipulating pictures using vector tools or inputting settings (say manipulating a gradient, or pre-visualizing an appropriate tinting and then applying it). I like the steps Adobe has taken to push Illustrator in a more organic direction, and this would further that. And this isn't a purely superficial issue -- as an artist, your thought process is intimately connected with how you work, and not being able to work in a way that's comfortable to me impacts my ability to reach a satisfying end product. Using a marquee in Photoshop is less of an interruption to my brushwork than is manipulating a style in Illustrator.
From a purely technical perspective, it is actually kind of hard to achieve good cel shading using a shaded fill, though I'm actually glad you brought it up as it hasn't been mentioned once in the discussion thus far. I'm talking about creating the type of illustration you might see on a graphic t-shirt, where all fo the shading is done in a solid color. I don't actually mind that the shadow or highlight is a separate object -- this is actually a good thing. It's just very helpful to be able to swoosh my brush over the edge of an object (as one might an airbrush) and have a pretty looking shadow right where I want it -- AND that I can then tweak as it's a vector object.
What I do mind is the amount of labor it takes to get the edge of the shadow to adhere to the outline of the object I'm shading. No matter how you slice it, there's at least one more step than there should be, usually two or three more.
In short, it's really neat that Adobe has made vector art creation, a traditionally technical process, a more organic one like painting -- adding what amounts to a quick stencil feature (how I'm using marquees in Photoshop) would take this a step further for some artists (like myself).
I hope that answers your question, though possibly not. -
Hello,
When I try to start up Corel Painter 8 the splash window appears and then disappears and I get an error message (of the crash flavor). This problem did not show up until recently as I had not used Painter for several months. (It was time to make Mother's Day cards) I am not sure what the cause of the problem is. Painter8 works fine with 10.3.9 and I am sure that it was working fine with 10.4.? (before10.4.9) as I had created some cards last fall before I installed the 10.4.9 update. I have reinstalled P8 and the update for it several times and still no go. Any ideas....? (besides upgrading to the latest version which I cannot afford)
reggers,
vilppudrawingslate problem the Wacom tablet needed a software update as it is one of the first "resources loaded by Corel
please award 2 points to the crash log. -
I bought my iphone5 last week from The Carphone Warehouse and noticed the paint had chipped on the box fresh phone. I showed the sales clerk who brought another one out that was also scratched, and then opened a third factory sealed box which was, yet again, chipped. As it was the last one in stock I had to take it. This morning my phone slipped out of my hand and after a 20 cm fall, landed on my desk and a big chunk of paint chipped off of the outer steel rim. My phone looks like it's been through the wars after owning it for less than a week! I took it to the Covent Garden Apple Store to show them and expecting another exchange, only to be told that they will not help as the paint chipping is not an official known issue. This is the worst customer service i've had with Apple, who have previously been superb whenever i've dealt with them. It's obviously a flaw and everyone will soon be having this problem, standards are definitely slipping. Not at all happy!
Andy,
I have had a similarly frustrating situation. Bought my shiny new and durable (so I thought) iPhone 5 from Orange three weeks ago. Didn't even take it out without buying a screen protector and case. Within 10 days I was alarmed to see the paint chipping off.
I went back to Orange, they sent me to Apple - who said I should go back to them. Apples or oranges I said, I just want a resolution (Apple worker didn't see the funny side) said the only thing to do was make an appointment with the genius bar. Clearly a complaint to be made with the advertising standards authority, because a '"genius" has just told me that Apple would not replace it, for the same reasons you were told. Nice, when I asked to finish work early and made an 18 mile round trip journey to Apple in the Trafford Centre. Clearly fobbed off by the first Apple worker who knew her co-worker would have said the same thing. I am very, very disappointed with Apple, despite really good customer service with other Apple products in the past.
I don't buy the anodising process to attach the paint excuse either. I used to mountain bike when I was a lot younger and some were sold with black rims using a similar process. They lasted a lot longer and that was with constants brake pad friction.
Does anyone at Apple customer care even read these? And if so, do you guys care about the bad taste you're leaving in your customers mouths as a result of this issue? -
Hi guys,
I will start with the original problem and get to the only option that seems possible before hardcoding everything.
I need to draw something like a binary tree. Jtree doesn't fall into binary because it does not have the root in the center. <1;2;6;8;9>, where 6 is the root, and 1,2 are its left child's children and 8,9 are right child's children. Since I couldn't find any possible solution of customizing JTree to draw it in binary format, I am left with the following option that is a step towards hardcoding.
Create a subclass of JPanel and paint inside it. The full hardcode method would be to draw everything right here, ie the lines and the boxes.
But since I need to listen to box selections using mouse, I was hoping to draw the boxes using JPanel/JLabel and override their paint() method.
So is there a way to paint components(JLabel/JPanel and lines) into a painted component (JPanel)? Note, the container JPanel is not using any layout. everything is being drawn using paint method.You are probably going to want to create smaller objects that handle their own painting. For example... Create an extension of JComponent that handles painting a single node. Then create the JPanel to add those to. You can even go as far as writing your own LayoutManager to handle laying the Components out in your binary layout. This is really the most effective way to do it, especially if you want to be able to detect clicks and what not. You can just add MouseListener's to the individual components than.
Hope this helps,

(Another) problem with custom painting using JApplet and JPanel
Hi all,
I posted regarding this sort of issue yesterday (http://forums.sun.com/message.jspa?messageID=10883107). I fixed the issue I was having, but have run into another issue. I've tried solving this myself to no avail.
Basically I'm working on creating the GUI for my JApplet and it has a few different JPanels which I will be painting to, hence I'm using custom painting. My problem is that the custom painting works fine on the mainGUI() class, but not on the rightGUI() class. My code is below:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
public class TetrisClone extends JApplet {
public void init() {
setSize( 450, 500 );
Container content = getContentPane();
content.add( new mainGUI(), BorderLayout.CENTER );
content.add( new rightGUI() , BorderLayout.LINE_END );
class mainGUI extends JPanel {
// Main bit where blocks fall
public mainGUI() {
setBackground( new Color(68,75,142) );
setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 325, 500 ) );
validate();
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension( 450, 500 );
public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) {
super.paintComponent(g);
// As a test. This shows up fine.
g.setColor( Color.black );
g.fillRect(10,10,100,100);
g.setColor( Color.white );
g.drawString("Main",45,55);
class rightGUI extends JPanel {
BufferedImage img = null;
int currentLevel = 0;
int currentScore = 0;
int currentLines = 0;
public rightGUI() {
// The right panel. Has quite a few bits. Starts here..
FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout();
flow.setVgap( 20 );
setLayout( flow );
setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 125, 500 ) );
setBackground( new Color(27,34,97) );
setBorder( BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(0,2,0,0,Color.black) );
// Next block bit
JPanel rightNext = new JPanel();
rightNext.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 100, 100 ) );
//rightNext.setBackground( new Color(130,136,189) );
rightNext.setOpaque( false );
rightNext.setBorder( BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED) );
Font rightFont = new Font( "Courier", Font.BOLD, 18 );
// The player's playing details
JLabel rightLevel = new JLabel("Level: " + currentLevel, JLabel.LEFT );
rightLevel.setFont( rightFont );
rightLevel.setForeground( Color.white );
JLabel rightScore = new JLabel("Score: " + currentScore, JLabel.LEFT );
rightScore.setFont( rightFont );
rightScore.setForeground( Color.white );
JLabel rightLines = new JLabel("Lines: " + currentLines, JLabel.LEFT );
rightLines.setFont( rightFont );
rightLines.setForeground( Color.white );
JPanel margin = new JPanel();
margin.setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 100, 50 ) );
margin.setBackground( new Color(27,34,97) );
JButton rightPause = new JButton("Pause");
try {
img = ImageIO.read(new File("MadeBy.gif"));
catch (IOException e) { }
add( rightNext );
add( rightLevel );
add( rightScore );
add( rightLines );
add( margin );
add( rightPause );
validate();
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension( 125, 500 );
public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.setColor( Color.black );
g.drawString( "blah", 425, 475 ); // Doesn't show up
g.drawImage( img, 400, 400, null ); // Nor this!
System.out.println( "This bit gets called fine" );
}Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've read loads of swing and custom painting tutorials and code samples but am still running into problems.
Thanks,
Tristan PerryMany thanks for reminding me about the error catching - I've added a System.out.println() call now. Anywhoo, the catch block never gets run; the image get call works fine.
My problem was/is:
"My problem is that the custom painting works fine on the mainGUI() class, but not on the rightGUI() class. My code is below:"
I guess I should have expanded on that. Basically whatever I try to output in the public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) method of the rightGUI class doesn't get output.
So this doesn't output anything:
g.drawString( "blah", 425, 475 ); // Doesn't show up
g.drawImage( img, 400, 400, null ); // Nor this!
I've checked and experimented with setOpaque(false), however this doesn't seem to be caused by any over-lapping JPanels or anything.
Let me know if I can expand on this :)
Many thanks,
Tristan Perry
