Move a specific rectangle in a Jframe

im trying to code a GUI for "Towers of Hanoi" with a Java JFrame.
I thought I can just make a array with all rectangles (I use rectangles to display the elements, that the player can move) and then use something like this "recList[1].move()"to move the rectangle on the canvas, but I don't finde a funktion, that can do this.
It would be grade, if somebody could say me how i can move a rectangle to specific coordinates.
Here is my code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
public class GUIBuilder extends JFrame {
//object classes
public static class Rectangle {
Rectangle2D.Double Rectangle;
public Rectangle(double x, double y, double w, double h) {
Rectangle = new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, w, h);
}
public void draw(Graphics2D g) {
g.draw(Rectangle);
}
}
public static class Stick {
Line2D.Double stick;
public Stick(double x1, double y1, double x2, double y2) {
this.stick = new Line2D.Double(x1, y1, x2, y2);
}
public void draw(Graphics2D g) {
g.draw(stick);
}
}
//draw
static class DrawPane extends JPanel {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
double s = 3; // s = amount of sticks
double n = 5; // n = amount of elements
//base
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(300, 700, (int) s * 100 + 100, 50);
rectangle.draw((Graphics2D)g.create());
//s sticks
for (int i=0; i<s; i++) {
Stick stick = new Stick(400 + 100 * i, 700 - (25 * (n + 1)), 400 + 100 * i, 700);
stick.draw((Graphics2D)g.create());
}
//n elements
Rectangle[] recList = new Rectangle[(int)n]; //declaration a list for the rectangles
for (int i=0;i<n;i++) {
double w = 90/n*(n-i);
double x = 355+90/n/2*i;
double y = 675-25*i;
double h = 25;
recList[i] = new Rectangle(x, y, w, h);
recList[i].draw((Graphics2D)g.create());
}
}
}
//guibuilder
public GUIBuilder() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Towers of Hanoi by ByPander");
frame.setContentPane(new DrawPane());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(800, 600);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
//calling the guibuilder
public static void main(String[] args){
//start the Guibuilder
new GUIBuilder();
}
}

how to move multiple objects in JPanel

I want to create multiple squares that move independently and at the same time,and I think the most efficient way is through the transform method in Graphics2D,but I'm not sure how to make it work for each square.I want the square object to be self contained and create its own transforms(instance transforms). Here's what I have so far.
TransformPanel
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class TranformPanel extends JPanel {
private int[] xcoords = {250,248,253,255,249};
private int[] ycoords = {250,253,249,245,250};
private double randomx = 0;
private double randomy = 0;
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
drawTransform(g,randomx,randomy);
}
private void drawTransform(Graphics g,double randomx,double randomy)
{
Random rn = new Random();
int xnum = rn.nextInt(10)-5;
randomx = xnum;
int ynum = rn.nextInt(10)-5;
randomy = ynum;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(250,250,10,10);
AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
transform.translate(randomx,randomy);
g2d.draw(transform.createTransformedShape(rect));
}
}
TransformDraw
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class TransformDraw{
private static TranformPanel panel = new TranformPanel();
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Setup our JFrame details
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setTitle("Transform Polygon Example");
frame.setSize(500,500);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.add(panel);
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
try {
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
frame.repaint();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
Thanks is Advance!

Start by creating something that can manage it's location (and other properties) and which can be "painted"
public interface Box {
public void update(Dimension size);
public void paint(Graphics2D g2d);
}
So, this is pretty basic, all it can do is be updated (within a given area) and be painted. You could expose other properties (like it's bounding box for example) based on your particular needs
Next, we need a simple implementation, something like...
public class DefaultBox implements Box {
private Color color;
private Rectangle bounds;
private int xDelta;
private int yDelta;
public DefaultBox(Color color, Dimension size) {
this.color = color;
bounds = new Rectangle(new Point(0, 0), size);
xDelta = 1 + (int) (Math.random() * 10);
yDelta = 1 + (int) (Math.random() * 10);
}
#Override
public void update(Dimension size) {
bounds.x += xDelta;
bounds.y += yDelta;
if (bounds.x < 0) {
bounds.x = 0;
xDelta *= -1;
} else if (bounds.x + bounds.width > size.width) {
bounds.x = size.width - bounds.width;
xDelta *= -1;
}
if (bounds.y < 0) {
bounds.y = 0;
yDelta *= -1;
} else if (bounds.y + bounds.height > size.height) {
bounds.y = size.height - bounds.height;
yDelta *= -1;
}
}
#Override
public void paint(Graphics2D g2d) {
g2d.setColor(color);
g2d.fill(bounds);
}
}
Now, this maintains a simple Rectangle instance, which describes the location and size of the object, it also maintains properties about the color and it's speed.
When update is called, it updates it's location and does some simple bounds checking to make sure that the box remains within the specified area.
When paint is called, it simply paints itself.
Finally, we need some way to update and paint these boxes....
public class TestPane extends JPanel {
private List<Box> boxes;
private Color[] colors = {Color.RED, Color.BLACK, Color.BLUE, Color.CYAN, Color.DARK_GRAY, Color.GREEN, Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Color.MAGENTA, Color.ORANGE, Color.PINK, Color.WHITE, Color.YELLOW};
public TestPane() {
boxes = new ArrayList<>(25);
for (int index = 0; index < 100; index++) {
Color color = colors[(int) (Math.random() * colors.length)];
int width = 10 + (int) (Math.random() * 9);
int height = 10 + (int) (Math.random() * 9);
boxes.add(new DefaultBox(color, new Dimension(width, height)));
}
Timer timer = new Timer(40, new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
for (Box box : boxes) {
box.update(getSize());
}
repaint();
}
});
timer.start();
}
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(200, 200);
}
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
for (Box box : boxes) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
box.paint(g2d);
g2d.dispose();
}
}
}
Okay, so again, this is pretty simple. It maintains a List of Box's, a Swing Timer to periodically update the List of Box's, calling their update method. The Timer the simply calls repaint, which (in a round about way) ends up calling paintComponent, which then just calls paint on each instance of Box.
100 boxes...

How to rotate a non-square image in Java?

I recently saw this question on how to rotate an image in Java. I copy/pasted it directly from that answer. On implementation, it seems to only rotate images that are squares(that is have the same size, width and height). When I try to use it for a non-square image, it seems to cut off that part that would make it be a rectangle, if that makes sense. Like this
How can I fix/work around this?
Edit: The code I'm using. Also, I won't have a scroll bar as this will be a "game", and also won't be in full screen all of the time.
public class Player extends Entity { //Entity has basic values such as (float) x & y values, along with some getters and setters
double theta;
Reticle reticle; //draws a reticle where the cursor was(basically just replaces java.awt.Cursor due to something not neccessary for me to get into)
Sprite currentImage; //basically just a BufferedImage that you can apply aspect ratios to
//constructor
#Override
public void tick() {
//(this line) gets the Reticle from the main-method class and set it to this reticle object
reticleX = reticle.getX(); //basically gets the mouse coordinates
reticleY = reticle.getY();
x += dX; //delta or change in X
y += dY //delta or change in Y
checkCollision(); //bounds checking
//getCentralizedX()/Y() gets the center of the currentImage
theta = getAngle(getCentralizedX(), getCentralizedY(), reticleX, reticleY);
currentImage = Images.rotateSprite(currentImage, theta);
}
#Override
public void render(Graphics g) {
currentImage.render(g, x, y);
g.drawLine((int) getCentralizedX(), (int) getCentralizedY(), (int) reticleX, (int) reticleY);
}
public double getAngle(float startX, float startY, float goalX, float goalY) {
double angle = Math.atan2(goalY - startY, goalX - startX);
//if(angle < 0) { //removed this as this was the thing messing up the rotation
//angle += 360;
//}
}
If the angle of the soldier is from 90 < angle < 270, then it is (basically), however, if its its 90 > angle > 270, then it gets a little wonky. Here are some pictures. It is not the angle of the aim-line(the blue line) that is wrong.
Removed all of the images as removing the if(angle < 0) inside of getAngle() fixed the rotation bug. Now the only problem is that it doesn't rotate in place.
EDIT 2: My SSCCE, which uses the same method as my game, but freaks out for some reason.

When you rotate an image the width and height also change and your code doesn't take this into account.
Here is some old code I have lying around that should work better:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Rotation
{
BufferedImage image;
JLabel label;
public Rotation(BufferedImage image)
{
this.image = image;
}
private BufferedImage getImage(double theta)
{
// Determine the size of the rotated image
double cos = Math.abs(Math.cos(theta));
double sin = Math.abs(Math.sin(theta));
double width = image.getWidth();
double height = image.getHeight();
int w = (int)(width * cos + height * sin);
int h = (int)(width * sin + height * cos);
// Rotate and paint the original image onto a BufferedImage
BufferedImage out = new BufferedImage(w, h, image.getType());
Graphics2D g2 = out.createGraphics();
g2.setPaint(UIManager.getColor("Panel.background"));
g2.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
double x = w/2;
double y = h/2;
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(theta, x, y);
x = (w - width)/2;
y = (h - height)/2;
at.translate(x, y);
g2.drawRenderedImage(image, at);
g2.dispose();
return out;
}
private JLabel getLabel()
{
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
label = new JLabel(icon);
label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
return label;
}
private JSlider getSlider()
{
final JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 360, 0);
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener()
{
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
{
int value = slider.getValue();
BufferedImage bi = getImage(Math.toRadians(value));
label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(bi));
}
});
return slider;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
String path = "mong.jpg";
ClassLoader cl = Rotation.class.getClassLoader();
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(cl.getResourceAsStream(path));
Rotation r = new Rotation(bi);
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(r.getLabel()));

}
}
Edit:
Another option is to create an Icon, then you can use the Rotated Icon. Then you can rotate and paint the icon in your painting code. Something like:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Rotation3 extends JPanel
{
private Icon icon;
private Icon rotated;
private int degrees;
public Rotation3(BufferedImage image)
{
icon = new ImageIcon( image );
setDegrees( 0 );
setPreferredSize( new Dimension(600, 600) );
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
double radians = Math.toRadians( degrees );
rotated = new RotatedIcon(icon, degrees);
// translate x/y so Icon is rotated around a specific point (300, 300)
int x = 300 - (rotated.getIconWidth() / 2);
int y = 300 - (rotated.getIconHeight() / 2);
rotated.paintIcon(this, g, x, y);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillOval(295, 295, 10, 10);
}
public void setDegrees(int degrees)
{
this.degrees = degrees;
double radians = Math.toRadians( degrees );
rotated = new RotatedIcon(icon, degrees);
repaint();
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
String path = "dukewavered.gif";
ClassLoader cl = Rotation3.class.getClassLoader();
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(cl.getResourceAsStream(path));
final Rotation3 r = new Rotation3(bi);
final JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 360, 0);
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener()
{
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
{
int value = slider.getValue();
r.setDegrees( value );
}
});
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.add(new JScrollPane(r));
f.add(slider, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
f.pack();
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setVisible(true);
}
catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
});
}
}
Edit 2:
Even easier than I thought here is an example:

The rotation code was taken from: How to rotate an image gradually in Swing?

A far far easier way is to use the following library. Just call img.rotate(30) or whatever and it rotates, no messing about with AWT.

360 degree movement example in java

is it possible to simply make 360 degree movement in java(swing) without any game engine? all I have is this attempt:
public class Game extends JPanel implements Runnable {
int x = 300;
int y = 500;
float angle = 30;
Game game;
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.add(new Game());
frame.setSize(600, 600);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
public Game() {
setSize(600, 600);
Thread thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
}
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
g.drawRect(0, 0, 600, 600);
g.setColor(Color.CYAN);
g.fillOval(x, y, 10, 10);
g.dispose();
}
#Override
public void run() {
while(true) {
angle += -0.1;
x += Math.sin(angle);
y--;
repaint();
try {
Thread.sleep(50);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {}
}
}
}
as you can see in following picture, I don't know how to handle movement rotating, this is the output:
image http://screenshot.cz/GOXE3/mvm.jpg

Actually, this is quite possible.
My preferred way is to actually take advantage of the Graphics transform so that you don't have to do any computation, it's all left to the Graphics
By the way:
since you did not create the Graphics object, don't ever dispose it.
override paintComponent() rather than paint()
It's always a good pattern to call super.paintComponent()

Change a few lines...
int basex = 300; // midpoint of the circle
int basey = 400;
int radius = 100; // radius
int x;
int y;

Not sure what you were trying to code there, but this is the correct formula for a circular movement.

To calculate the rotation around a point, you need a center point for the rotation (cx, cy), the radius or distance of the point from the center, you need the angle (in radians, not degrees), and you need to use sine and cosine to calculate the offset of the point from the center as it rotates around it.
int cx, cy, radius; // I'll let you determine these
double theta = Math.toRadians(30);
double dtheta = Math.toRadians(-0.1);
double dx = Math.cos(theta) * radius;
double dy = Math.sin(theta) * radius;
int x = (int)(cx + dx);
int y = (int)(cy + dy);
repaint();
theta += dtheta; // step the angle

You program has some problems:
int x = 300;
int y = 500;
You should use a floating point data type like double to store the coordinates. You can cast them to int when you want to draw them. If you store them in int, you'll lose precision.
x += Math.sin(angle);
y--;
This doesn't work, since y is decremented instead of calculated using Math.sin(angle). (us Math.cos for x)
This is your fixed code (unchanged parts are omitted):
double x = 300;
double y = 500;
float angle = 30;
double radius = 10D; // new variable to increase the radius of the drawn circle
Game game;
// main method
// constructor
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// ... stuff omitted
g.fillOval((int)x, (int)y, 10, 10); // you can cast to int here
g.dispose();
}
#Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
angle -= 0.1; // is the same as `angle += -0.1`
x += radius * Math.cos(angle);
y += radius * Math.sin(angle);
repaint();
// ... try catch block
}
}
This currenlty draw the circle counter-clockwise. If you want to draw it clockwise, then change angle to:
angle += 0.1;

Drawing a nice circle in Java

I'm using Java Graphics and I keep getting "ugly" circles.
Here's what my Java program makes
And here's the same thing being made in Matlab
I think it is clear that the Java one is not as "nice" looking as the Matlab one, particularly on the edges of the circle. Note that this has nothing to do with the resolution...these images are practically the same size. Also note that I am already setting rendering hints.
Here's a stand alone with a Main function you can run to test this out.

#Override

int radius = 50;

Graphics2D g2d = buffer.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
Ellipse2D circle = new Ellipse2D.Float(0, 0, radius,radius);
Shape clip = g2d.getClip();
g2d.setClip(circle);
AffineTransform at = g2d.getTransform();
g2d.setTransform(AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(45),radius / 2, radius / 2));
int gap = LINE_GAP;
g2d.setColor(Color.WHITE);
g2d.fill(circle);
g2d.setColor(lineColor);
//g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(LINE_THICKNESS));
for (int index = 0; index < 10; index++) {
int x1 = index*gap-(LINE_THICKNESS/2);
int y1 = 0;
int x2 = index*gap+(LINE_THICKNESS/2);
int y2 = radius;
int width = x2 - x1;
int height = y2 - y1;
g2d.fillRect(x1, y1, width, height);
//g2d.drawLine(index * gap, 0, index * gap, getRadius());
}
g2d.setTransform(at);
g2d.setClip(clip);
g2d.dispose();
g.drawImage(buffer, 0, 0, this);
}
}
}

EDIT: Please see Code Guy's answer below for a solution. This is marked correct because it was Joey Rohan who figured it out initially!
I got smooth edge when i tried out same thing:
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
public class DrawSmoothCircle {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(100, 100, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics2D g2d = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
g2d.setRenderingHint (RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setPaint(Color.green);
g2d.fillOval(10, 10, 50, 50);
g2d.dispose();
ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "png", new File("e:\\newimage.png"));
}
}
UPDATE:
After searching alot:
There is nothing wrong with the code but,
Well, unfortunately Java 2D (or at least Sun's current implementation) does not support "soft clipping."
But Also got a trick for the clips:
Follow This link,you can achieve what you are asking for.
(Also, i got a smooth edge, cause i din't use clip stuff,in my above image)

Here was the answer. I adapted the majority of the code from this site. Take a look:
Here's the code:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
// Create a translucent intermediate image in which we can perform
// the soft clipping
GraphicsConfiguration gc = ((Graphics2D) g).getDeviceConfiguration();
BufferedImage img = gc.createCompatibleImage(getWidth(), getHeight(), Transparency.TRANSLUCENT);
Graphics2D g2 = img.createGraphics();
// Clear the image so all pixels have zero alpha
g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Clear);
g2.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
// Render our clip shape into the image. Note that we enable
// antialiasing to achieve the soft clipping effect. Try
// commenting out the line that enables antialiasing, and
// you will see that you end up with the usual hard clipping.
g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setColor(Color.WHITE);
g2.fillOval(0, 0, getRadius(), getRadius());
// Here's the trick... We use SrcAtop, which effectively uses the
// alpha value as a coverage value for each pixel stored in the
// destination. For the areas outside our clip shape, the destination
// alpha will be zero, so nothing is rendered in those areas. For
// the areas inside our clip shape, the destination alpha will be fully
// opaque, so the full color is rendered. At the edges, the original
// antialiasing is carried over to give us the desired soft clipping
// effect.
g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.SrcAtop);
g2.setColor(lineColor);
int gap = LINE_GAP;
AffineTransform at = g2.getTransform();
g2.setTransform(AffineTransform.getRotateInstance(Math.toRadians(45),getRadius() / 2, getRadius() / 2));
for (int index = 0; index < 10; index++) {
int x1 = index*gap-(LINE_THICKNESS/2);
int y1 = 0;
int x2 = index*gap+(LINE_THICKNESS/2);
int y2 = getRadius();
int width = x2 - x1;
int height = y2 - y1;
g2.fillRect(x1, y1, width, height);
}
g2.setTransform(at);
g2.dispose();
// Copy our intermediate image to the screen
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
}

Update
OK. Then the idea is to not use clipping at all but instead to make the clipped shape by subtracting areas from each other.

Old code
Part of the problem is that the rendering operations typically do not apply to a Clip, though they will apply to the Shape when it is drawn. I generally solve that by (last) painting the Shape itself. E.G.
A 1.5 pixel BasicStroke is used here for the red circle - smoothing the rough edges produced by the Clip.

I used drawPolygon method to draw circle by generating array of most of the points on circumference of circle with proposed radius.
Code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
/*<applet code="OnlyCircle" width=500 height=500>
</applet>*/
public class OnlyCircle extends Applet{
public void paint(Graphics g){
int r=200;//radius
int x1=250;//center x coordinate
int y1=250;//center y coordinate
double x2,y2;
double a=0;
double pi=3.14159;
int count=0;
int i=0;
int f=0;
int[] x22=new int[628319];
int[] y22=new int[628319];
while(a<=2*pi&&i<628319&&f<628319)
{
double k=Math.cos(a);
double l=Math.sin(a);
x2=x1+r*k;
y2=y1+r*l;
x22[i]=(int)x2;
y22[f]=(int)y2;
i++;
f++;
a+=0.00001;
}
int length=x22.length;
g.drawPolygon(x22,y22,length);
}
}

You can enable anti-aliasing:
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
Map<RenderingHints.Key, Object> hints = new HashMap<RenderingHints.Key, Object>();
hints.put(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setRenderingHints(hints);
I also suggest you draw to the Graphics object you get from the paintComponent method rather than creating an intermediate BufferedImage.
