Using double/floats for co ordinates?

Question

hi is it possible to use float/double values for the following code or simlar?
g.drawImage(cards, 0.5, 0.8, this);
does the drawimage on support ints?

Answer 1

Update and demo: Am I the only one who is forever tweaking rendering hints
to get the right effect? Anyhowdy, I think INTERPOLATION was the hint I needed
to tweak to get subpixel shifting of images:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ShiftyExample extends JPanel {
    private BufferedImage image;
    private float delta;
    public ShiftyExample(BufferedImage image, float delta) {
        this.image = image;
        this.delta = delta;
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();
        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
    RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
        g2.drawRenderedImage(image, null);
        g2.drawRenderedImage(image, AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(delta, 0));
        g2.dispose();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new GuiBuilder());
    static class GuiBuilder implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            BufferedImage image = createImage();
            JPanel cp = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,0));
            cp.add(new ShiftyExample(image, 0f));
            cp.add(new ShiftyExample(image, 0.5f));
            cp.add(new ShiftyExample(image, 1f));
            cp.add(new ShiftyExample(image, 1.5f));
            cp.add(new ShiftyExample(image, 2f));
            JFrame f = new JFrame("ShiftyExample");
            f.setContentPane(cp);
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.setSize(300,200);
            f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
            f.setVisible(true);
        BufferedImage createImage() {
            BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(100, 100, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
            Graphics2D g = image.createGraphics();
            g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
            g.drawLine(10,0,10,100);
            g.dispose();
            return image;
}Explanation: the image is a vertical black line on a clear background.
What you see on the frame are five versions of the image displayed
against a shifted copy of itself, shift 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 units. If you really stare at the
fractional examples, you will see gray pixels being used instead of just black
and white. Woop-de-doo...
