Position/Draw graphics on graphics

Question

I'd like to let a textarea draw itself then get it's graphics and add it to another graphics object.
This code always draws the textArea at position (0,0) on the incoming graphics object.
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
     g.setColor(m_bgColor);
     g.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
     Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
     g2d.setColor(Color.black);
     textArea.setText("1 foo bar\n2 foo bar\n3 foo bar");
     textArea.setSize(25,25);
     // I'd like to do something like this (compare to icon.paintIcon below):
     // textArea.paint(g2d, xLocation, yLocation);
     textArea.paint(g2d);
     icon.paintIcon(this, g2d, 100, 50);
     g2d.drawString("< text >", 200, 20);
     g2d.dispose();
    }or something more general like a drawGraphics in Graphics2D:
     g2d.drawGraphics(textArea.getGraphics(), xLocation, yLocation);Any ideas?

Answer 1

Use Graphics2D translate method.
Don't forget to store AffineTransform before translating and restore it after painting.
