Paint Over TextArea
I have a text area in my app using a fixed width font. I want
to draw a vertical red line at column 69 to show the user when
he/she is writing a line longer than 69 characters. Anyone know how
I can do this ?
I solved it by adding TextArea inside Canvas as well as the
VRuler effectively overlaying the one onto the other.

How do I paint a TextArea or a Button over an Image
I've started coding a game on Java recently, and I suck when it comes to GUI, so I've been having a lot of trouble.
The thing is:
1 - I have a thread object that calls repaint( ) at a 60 fps rate.
2 - I have a SimpleSprite object that can be created from this:
new SimpleSprite ( "image.png" );
3 - This same object has the following method:
public void paint ( Graphics g , int atX , int atY ) {
if ( image != null )
g.drawImage( image , atX , atY , (ImageObserver) this );
}4 - I have a JFrame object as my main program, and it has this code:
public Sprite background = new SimpleSprite( "img_bg.png" );
public void paint ( Graphics g ) {
background.paint( g , 0, 0);
}Then, I can't seem to find a way to paint a TextArea or a Button OVER this background image on the paint method. And I seriously don't want to recode the TextArea class. It bores me to death just to think of how much would I have to validate at text-selecting when the font characters don't all have the same width.
Is there any way this could be done?

With this code you've just broken JFrame painting. I think it is better to create class-descendant of JComponent and do whatever you want in it's paintComponent() method.
Also, calling repaint() simply schedules call to paint() method. If you want 60 fps, may be " [Active rendering|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/rendering.html] " mechanism will help. -
Content pane painting over JPopupMenu
I have a rather complex series of overridden components (JMenuBar, JPanels, JMenus, JFrame, etc.) that I aggregate to form a 'theme frame' --- basically a 'lightweight' L&F decorated frame. The main frame is an UNDECORATED JFrame derivation, in which I basically install a derived JMenuBar class that looks and acts like the top portion of the frame's 'border' (i.e. the title bar), as well as accomodating the menu items for the frame. I then launch several of these frames from the main application, each with its own set of menus (a single top-level JMenu with a few menu items on the popup).
My problem is this... if there are more than 1 of these frames extant after the initial start-up of the application, I can invoke the top-level menu on all of the frames, but only 1 of them actually paints it correctly... the others will show the JPopupMenu, but then the embedded content repaints AFTERWARDS, thus painting over all but the first item on the menu. What's really very bazaar is that it seems to depend totally on location of the frame on the screen (i.e. in relation to the other frames). Initially, only the top-most and/or left-most frame will paint the JPopupMenu correctly, and the rest will exhibit this "show the popup, then paint the content pane over it" behavior.
With the help of print statements, I've been able to determine that the frame which paints the popup correctly DOES NOT get a repaint() notification on it's content-pane, whereas the others do (hence the 'cover-up' behavior of those).
It may be useful to note that the 'content' of these frames are actually applets, which themselves have a complex set of specialized components embedded in them.
None of the menu objects or other components involved are static to the frame class, so nothing's being shared... also, if I move one of the non-functioning windows to a different location on the screen, then the menu works fine... move it back, and the menu gets painted over again.
I'm using JDK 1.4, JBuilder X, all components are Swing.
Any help, please??????
XNHillBillyThat did the trick! I had a gut feeling it was something simple like that... I still don't fully understand exactly what was going on (why one frame would paint fine, while the others wouldn't), but that's less important than having it work correctly at this point ;-)
Thanks mucho rykk,

Images disappearing / being painted over
Hi,
Not especially familiar with images and am having issues with images being painted over when ever I move or adjust the size of my GUI. I built a majority of the GUI using the Form Designer included with Netbeans.
Would really appreciate any advice, happy to include more detail if required.
Cheers,
Tim

Graphic keeps disappearing and getting painted over
I am not quite sure what is going on here, but I think that my background is being repainted after I paint my rectangles on the screen, any help on what is going on here would be greatly appreciated.
The way the code is currently set up is when I come into the method, I set my state to -1,
The rectangle will then init itself and then go check my control variables,
The control variables turn the rectangle the appropriate color
since I have rip_staus_code = 10 it turns green, although
The problem is after it turns green;
the rectangle disappears!!!
and I cant quite see where in the code I am repainting over the top of it.....
Thank You

First, why are you overwriting paintChildren? If you want to do custom drawing, do that in paintComponent.
Second, never change state inside a painting method. Why? Because you can't control how often repaint is called. Covering or partically covering the window, resizing the window, or programmatic calls to repaint will all cause the method to be called, and sometimes only on a portion of your component (such is the case when only partially covered). This can cause very weird visual effects. In your program, the first call to paint will paint the appropriate rectangle but then set the state flag. There is probably another call to repaint somewhere which will then repaint the component without the rectangle (because the state has now changed), painting over your rectangles. The solution, don't change the state in paint. -
Making popup menus stop painting over the current window
I'm making up a game that relies on a regular menu bar for it's menus. But for some reason the drop-down menus insist on rendering themselves over the current window instead of creating a new object over it like it should. This causes them to vanish right after opening because the game is constantly refreshing the area it paints over, but if I reduce the window drastically in a way there's no room to paint the drop-down menus over the existing area, they appear normally because a new window is created to display them.
How do I ferce it to always create a new window?Jack Mcslay wrote:

This causes them to vanish right after opening because the game is constantly refreshing the area it paints over,... implying that you have a wrong approach to custom painting
but if I reduce the window drastically in a way there's no room to paint the drop-down menus over the existing area, they appear normally because a new window is created to display them.As expected
How do I ferce it to always create a new window?Wrong question. Ask how to perform custom painting correctly -- which is answered in the tutorial suggested twice.

Painting over patterns-- is this even possible?
Hi all,
So basically, here's the situation... I'm trying to paint on an element on a layer (belt for jeans) that has been filled with a pattern to match the pants and tie at the waist. (This is a texture map.) The problem is that PS doesn't seem to want to let me ctrl-click the layer and paint over an element that was overlaid with a pattern. If I turn off the pattern, then it works fine, but I need to be able to add more brush elements ON TOP OF the pattern. I'm not sure how to fix this, but it's going to be a problem if I can't. Any ideas?
Thanks!Select the entire belt, add a layer above the belt, and with the belt selected, add a layer mas to the new layer. Apply your paint to the new layer, and toggle through the new layer's blend modes. Darken, Multiply, colorburn or Overlay or softlight. See what works.

Stop Painting over JComboBoxes?
I'm programming a game in Java (MasterMind) that uses simple graphics, and JComboBox to get inputs. The problem is that the graphics "paint over" the options in my JComboBoxes. When I mouse hover over the options, the problem fixes itself, but the initial graphics getting in the way is annoying. My code is kind of a mess so far, so it would probably be better to just post a screenshot, since I haven't made any sense so far:
http://home.comcast.net/~falcorthedog/untitled.JPG
As you can see, the colored pegs get in the way of my selections. Any way around this? Any help would be greatly appreciated... my project is due Tuesday! Thanks in advance!From what I've seen, I supose you altered the paint(Graphics) method of the underlying JPanel which also contains the JComboBox. Probably your code looks like this:
public void paint(Graphics g){
super.paint(g);
//your stuff, painting the circles etc...
}First of all, it would be better to overwrite paintComponent(Graphics) in this case, which should already fix your problem, as this method will only affect those parts of the panel not covered by other components (well, it's not what happens, but the effect is the same). Alternately you could simply change the drawing order by making the call to super.paint(g) at the end of your paint method - telling java to paint all your stuff, then the JComboBox on top of it.

Here is my problem
I am simply trying to make something paint over an applet. My search brought me to just putting a Canvas over the applet, and then using that to paint, but that didn't work the graphics just return null, and I don't understand why.
I will try to explain this again
I am trying to create a component that will paint over another component, which is a client but that shouldn't matter. And I just can't get anything that to paint over it. I know the canvas is in the right spot, but it just doesn't work (grahpics return null when I do getGraphics() in the canvas). Any ideas?
THANKSAustin187 wrote:
what do I use when I use paint(Graphics g)?Swing is the preferred choice and the Sun tutorials show how to use it (for example in Swing you override "paintComponent" instead of "paint"). Just in case you use AWT, you might want to have a look at this short sample code:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class AppletDemo extends Applet {
private Panel content;
private MainPanel mainPanel;
@Override
public void init() {
try {
EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
content = new Panel();
content.setLayout(null);
content.add(new PaintOver());
mainPanel = new MainPanel();
mainPanel.setSize(getSize());
content.add(mainPanel);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(content);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
class PaintOver extends Panel {
public PaintOver() {
setBounds(30, 15, 50, 50);
@Override
public void paint(final Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.drawString("Painting", 5, 20);
g.drawString("Over", 5, 40);
class MainPanel extends Panel {
public MainPanel() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());

add(new Button("Test 2"), BorderLayout.WEST);

Cannot paint over a jpeg suddenly, paint shows up behind on same layer
When i place an image (jpeg) into photoshop and try to paint over it it will not let me. instead it paints behind the jpeg on that layer. Also, if I create a layer mask on the jpeg it will not paint over it to paint out areas.
It always worked fine, this issue has come up within the last couple weeks.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.Hi artvector99,
The first thing that comes to mind is that the mode of the Brush Tool is set to something other than Normal in the tool options bar. -
Want to paint over unwanted object using background colors
I have this picture of a nice animated scenery, but there is this huge white square on one side of the image. The square is covering some trees, grass, and part of the river. What is the best way to get rid of the square? Is there some way to take parts of the image and paint it over this square?
Thanks,
BlairBlair,
I am now working with PEv.8. If you have this version, the recompose tool is excellent for this. Perhaps this tool is available in an earlier version as well.
If you don't have the tool, you may want to crop away the white square. Painting over it will do just that. -
Making a new component paint over top of others.
Hi,
I'm trying to make my own custom component (by extending Component). In the paint method, I just would like to draw a rectangle of some size at a certain point on the screen. I want this rectangle to be able to be drawn over top of any components that may already be there, much like a menu is drawn on the screen.
My question is, how can I do this? Oh, and I'm restricted to the AWT package only (no Swing). What graphics object do I need to do this?
Thanks in advance!you must ensure that your component remains on top of the components you wish to draw over. thats how menus do it. they use a glass pane or some such which is always on top of the other items. This is maintained by the main window the menu is added too. that window knows to always add other things beneath this glass pane which is on top. You should be able to do what you wish.

How to paint over components in JWindow?
Hi,
Need to know if its possible to draw some lines over components in a JFrame or JWindow.
Im writng a GUI for an mp3 player and one of the effects is to create scanlines over the Logo and Components (play, pause, etc)
Heres what I'm trying to do:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.RoundRectangle2D;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
public class PLUSGUI extends JWindow {
public PLUSGUI() {
//super("+ PLUS-GUI");
Container c = this.getContentPane();
c.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
ClassLoader cldr = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
java.net.URL imageURL = cldr.getResource("+PLUS_Logo.jpg");
ImageIcon PLUSLOGO = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
this.add(new JLabel(PLUSLOGO));
//this.add(new JButton("test"));
//this.add(new JCheckBox("test"));
//this.add(new JRadioButton("test"));
this.add(new JProgressBar(0, 100));
this.setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
//this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//this.setUndecorated(true);
public void paint(Graphics g){
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
//Draw the logo
//g2.setPaint(Color.ORANGE);
//g2.drawString("+ PLUS GUI", 50, 51);
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int w = 300;
int h = 0;
for (int i=0; i<150; i++){
g2.setColor(Color.GRAY);
g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(x, y, w, h));
y=y+2;
h=h+2;
public static void main(String[] args) {
//JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Window w = new PLUSGUI();
w.setVisible(true);
//com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities.setWindowOpacity(w, 0.5f);
com.sun.awt.AWTUtilities
.setWindowShape(w, new RoundRectangle2D.Float(0, 0, w.getWidth(), w.getHeight(), 10, 10));
}Custom painting is done by overriding the paintComponent(g) method of a Swing component that is not a top level container.
You should never override the paint() method of a top level container (like JFrame, JWindow) espcially when you don't invoke super.paint(...).
So if you want line above the label, then overide the label and add the custom code.
Also, use proper Java naming convention. Class names and variable name should not be completely capitalized. -
When to use Paint over Photoshop?
Im newer to Photoshop so its easier for me to throw my images into Paint to resize and crop them.
I was curious if other community members ever use Microsoft Paint for tasks and if so what?
Also, should I be doing this or would it benefit me to use Photoshop for resizing and croping images? I plan on using Photoshop but I rarely have it open since I mostly use the development programs within CS5 and it takes magnitudes longer to open Photoshop than Paint. But even with Fireworks running and the image attended for Fireworks I still through my image into paint because it seems faster. Am I dumb? Should I give up the paint? Some hot keys for this task probably would be better ahhhh... any insight?
Thanks,I do not think that I have used MS Paint, since about Windows 2.0. I did not even realize that it was still around.
I just use PS for everything, with the exception of JPEG's, with bum header info, that PS will not open. Then, I just use either ThumbsPlus, or IrfanView, to Open, then Save with proper header info.
I do not have any data on the Scaling (Resizing) algorithms in Paint, but would think that those in PS would be better. They do offer you a good range of choices, but maybe Paint has similar? Same when Cropping. What part of those operations do you find easier in Paint?
Though I use PS a lot, and have for a very long time, image editing software is but a tool in a process. Using the right tool, or the one that the artist is most comfortable with, is the trick. I use Painter (now Corel) for a lot of treatments, but almost always finish up in PS. Over the decades, PS has become closer to Painter, than in days past. Still, there are treatments that I want to apply in Painter, and part of those choices will be my personnal comfort level. I might have something very similar in my newer PS, but if I know every step by heart in Painter, my comfort level rises.
Use what you like for different operations, but I would do a visual check with an operation, like Scale/Resize. Do the same exact operation in each program, using the same base Image, and the same exact settings. Compare the results of the two programs critically.
Good luck,

Loop keeps writing over textarea
hi everyone, im writing a small application where if a certain word is found in a hashmap, id like it to be printed in a textarea. However, the loop keeps on running a setText method, and im guessing this keeps on writing over the previous text written! i understand why it is doing this, but i just cant think of a solution.
if i run system.out.println on the temp[] variable, the right words are being printed out to the terminal, so its just a matter of transfering these words to the text area.
below is the code for the loop, and also the method addtoarea.
please let me know any suggestions you may have!
thanks alot
Torre
for (int i = 0; i < temp.length; i++) {
if (hashMap.containsKey(temp)) {
pt.addtoarea(temp[i]);
num++;
public void addtoarea (String s)
area.setText(s);//Import needed packages.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Test extends JFrame
//create textfield and call the base class construtor
JTextField area;
public Test(String str){
super(str);
area=new JTextField();
//set Text of the JTextField
public void addtoarea (String s)
area.setText(s);
public static void main(String[] args)
//create an object of the Test class
Test t=new Test("Hi");
t.setSize(300,300);
t.setVisible(true);
t.getContentPane().add(t.area);
Map hashMap=new HashMap();
String[] temp=new String[5];
temp[0]=new String("Hello");
//check if hashMap contains key if it does set the Text and break out of the loop.
hashMap.put(0,temp[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < temp.length; i++) {
if (hashMap.containsKey(i))
t.addtoarea(temp);
System.out.println(temp[i]);
break;
i++;
}//end of main
}//end of class TestSwing is not thread safe so you would need to place it in a sepreate thread it would be something of this sort:Runnable doWorkRunnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
....stuffs
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(doWorkRunnable);
