Screen Shake like bug on 2D Grid JPanel

I am trying to create a 2d grid on a JPanel with Zoom functionality. The user will draw on the grid then if desired zoom in and out. Image of Grid
When I currently zoom in there is a screen shake like issue/bug when I move the mouse around, which I would like to remove.
The mouse wheel is used to zoom in and out.
Grid to be drawn at certain scale factor:

Using Slider to rotate Object In java

I have made a GUI that uses a slider to scale an object up and down.(in this case a rectangle). I was wondering if there was a way to also use a slider to specify a degree of rotation. So there would be 2 sliders one to control scale and another to control the rotation. If anyone could help me make this that would be great here is what I have so far with just the scale slider.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Parker
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TheWindow w = new TheWindow();
w.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //X wont close the window with out this line
w.setSize(1280,720);
w.setVisible(true);
}
}

public class TheWindow extends JFrame
{
private JSlider slider; //declare slider
private drawRect myPanel; //declare/ create panel
public TheWindow()
{
super("Slider Example"); //make title
myPanel = new drawRect();
myPanel.setBackground(Color.cyan); //change background color
slider = new JSlider(SwingConstants.VERTICAL, 0, 315, 10);// restrains the slider from scaling square to 0-300 pixels
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20); //will set tick marks every 10 pixels
slider.setPaintTicks(true); //this actually paints the ticks on the screen
slider.addChangeListener
(
new ChangeListener()
{
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
{
myPanel.setD(slider.getValue()); //Wherever you set the slider, it will pass that value and that will paint on the screen
}
}
);
add(slider, BorderLayout.WEST); //similar to init method, adds slider and panel to GUI
add(myPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class drawRect extends JPanel
{
private int d = 20; //this determines the beginning size of the rect.
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)//paints obj on the screen
{
super.paintComponent(g); //prepares graphic object for drawing
// ImageIcon i = new ImageIcon("A:\\Capture.png"); //location of Image
// i.paintIcon(this, g, d, d); //paints icon on screen
int originX = getWidth() / 2; //this is subtracting half of 'd' from the center point to scale it form the center
int originY = getHeight() / 2;
int x = originX - (d / 2);
int y = originY - (d / 2);
System.out.println(x + "x" + y);
g.fillRect(x, y, d, d); //paints rectangle on screen
//x , y, width, height
}

Okay, I've been playing around with this for a while I would normally use a AffineTransform for this, but it was giving me weird results I couldn't resolve...

Basically this uses the Graphics APIs capabilities, for simplicity (in particular with the spinning), the Graphics context is translated to the origin point. The rectangle is then paint around this origin point to allow it to be zoomed and rotate about it's center

How do I implement Java swing GUI start screen for a game with drawString and drawImage?

I'm not sure how I would fix the errors in my program and how I would highlight the option the user is hovering on. I want it to highlight the code for each position, i.e position 1 would be highlighted(as a different color) to start game,etc. and up/down would change position and I would change the position with up ,down, left, right. This is what I have so far. At the moment its bugged and when compiled with my window it comes out as:

There are any number of ways you might achieve this, for example, you could use some kind of delegation model.
That is, rather then trying to mange of each element in a single method (or methods), you could devise a delegate which provide a simple interface method that the paint method would call and it would know how to do the rest.
For example, Swing uses this type of concept with it's cell renderers for JList, JTable and JTree.

For here, you could add ActionListener

When a GUI needs a button, use a JButton! The JButton API allows the possibility to add icons for many different circumstances. This example shows different icons for the standard icon, the hover icon, and the pressed icon. Your GUI would obviously use icons with text on them for the required effect.
The icons are pulled directly (hot-linked) from Example images for code and mark-up Q&As.

Java Swing - How to create custom components with auto size adjustment to the parent

I'm trying to build a custom triangle component that has the same features as a JComponent (like a JButton per say).
The porpoise of the program will be to add triangle on a mouse click exactly where the mouse is and to handle a mouseover event by highlighting the bg of the shape.
I let the default layouts(or null), because while using others, the applications just doesn't place the triangles where I want...
Right now my major issue is how to adjust the size of the triangles with direct proportionality relative to the form size? So that if I reduce the frame size 50% all the components are down that value as well.
One other issue is that the JComponent requires a rectangular area to handle events, for what I've seen there's no way countering this, so if I try to click on the affected area it will just ignore it instead of creating a new triangle there.
And yet another problem is that sometimes while moving out of the triangle from the bottom it is still green.
Thanks!

Java: JSplitPane duplicates top panel's contents to bottom panel when Timer is active

So I have a JSplitPane, and two JPanels - one on top, one on the bottom. In both panels I overrode the paintComponent method and added my own graphics. In the bottom panel, I wanted to add an animation. When the panel does not repaint, it's fine, but as soon as the Timer (javax.swing.Timer) starts to call repaints, the bottom panel mimics the appearance of the top panel and glitches out. The actual animations are not refreshed, but rather it keeps on adding (like a dragged paintbrush instead of a moving object).
Here's the code for the Bottom Panel class:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class WaitControls extends JPanel {
private int pos;
public WaitControls(){
setBackground(Color.gray);
pos = 0;
}
public void progress(){
//animation timer:
Timer timer = new Timer(30, new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
pos++;
repaint();
}
});
timer.start();
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
g.fillRect(pos, pos, 10, 20);
}
}
And here's the code for the Splitpane class:
//my classes (imported packages)
import rcc.controls.ControlPanel;
import rcc.controls.InitControls;
import rcc.controls.WaitControls;
import rcc.video.Screen;
import javax.swing.JSplitPane;
public class MainPanel extends JSplitPane{
public RCC rcc;
public Screen screen;
private int height;
public ControlPanel curPanel;
public MainPanel(RCC rcc, Screen screen, int height){
super(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT);
this.rcc = rcc;
this.screen = screen;
this.height = height;
setDividerSize(2);
setEnabled(false);
setTopComponent(screen);
setToInitControls();
}
//sets the control panel to init controls ***WORKS FINE***
public void setToInitControls(){
InitControls initCtrls = new InitControls(this);
setBottomComponent(initCtrls);
curPanel = initCtrls;
setDividerLocation(height / 4 * 3);
}
//sets the control panel to wait controls (trying to connect) ***GLITCHES***
public void setToWaitControls(){
WaitControls waitCtrls = new WaitControls();
setBottomComponent(waitCtrls);
curPanel = waitCtrls;
setDividerLocation(height / 4 * 3);
waitCtrls.progress();
}
}
The top panel is a bit complicated. It involves mouse action (including a MouseEntered listener) and animates to interact with user mouse input.
The strange thing is, I have another bottom panel that was swapped out that also uses animations, and a timer, and does not have this glitch.
Any ideas what may have caused this? Thank you for all your help!

I can't imagine how your animations works,
1/ but if animation(s) depends of by any of Listener then Timer must be Timer#restart();
2/ check (example), how to pass addNotify()/removeNotify() for start/stop animatiom(s)
NOTE required fullHD monitor for better output or change code line
