I know the proper way to paint a JPanel is to create a class that extends JPanel and override the paintComponent method. That's nice, but I don't know what I want to draw before making the JPanels.
I have a main JPanel in a GridLayout. The grids are filled with other JPanels. These JPanels are also tracked in a 2D array. Based on button events or other events I want to be able to simply loop through this array, get the graphics, and repaint. That is not working too nicely however. An example of what I wanted to do is:
for (int row = 0; row < GRID_ROWS; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < GRID_COLS; col++) {
JPanel tmp_panel = new JPanel();
Graphics g = panelGrid[row][col].getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
//Do some drawing
panelGrid[row][col] = tmp_panel;
backingPanel.add(panelGrid[row][col]);
}
}
Later in the code, perhaps another event I would like to simply be able to loop through and redraw the panels:
for (int row = 0; row < GRID_ROWS; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < GRID_COLS; col++) {
Graphics g = panelGrid[row][col].getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
//Do some drawing
panelGrid[row][col].repaint()
}
}
I never got to writing the second block because the first one always complains about graphics not being initialized.
What you can do is have a prototype panel that uses any class that implements an interface, say Drawable, which has a draw(Graphics g) method that need to be overridden.
public interface Drawable {
public void draw(Graphics g);
}
Your prototype panel call can look something like this.
public class DrawablePanel extends JPanel {
private Drawable drawable;
public DrawablePanel(Drawable drawable) {
this.drawable = drawable;
}
public DrawablePanel() {
}
public void setDrawable(Drawable drawable) {
this.drawable = drawable;
repaint();
}
#Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
if (drawable != null) {
drawable.draw(g2);
}
}
}
Only if the Drawable object is not null, will it paint anything. You can either pass a Drawable object to it on instantiation, or you can set the Drawable object later.
So you can create an array of DrawablePanel and set the the Drawable proptery whenever you want.
An example of a Drawable implementation could be something as simple as
public class Ball implements Drawable {
#Override
public void draw(Graphics g) {
g.fillOval(0, 0, 50, 50);
}
}

So basically I'm trying to create a reversi game. First of all I created a board populated by buttons and attached ID's to them, so I can access them afterwards if needed. Now I am trying to draw a game piece on each of the buttons, however I can't getGraphics() of the button since I read that is a bad idea and also returns null. Keep in mind that I want to keep all of my entities separate: the board, the cell and the piece, since I developing this using MVC pattern.
board.java
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Board extends JPanel {
private static final int sizeOfBoard = 8;
public Board() {
int id =0;
setLayout(new GridLayout(sizeOfBoard,sizeOfBoard));
for (int i = 0; i < sizeOfBoard; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < sizeOfBoard; j++) {
Cell cell = new Cell(id++);
Disk disk = new Disk();
cell.add(disk);
add(cell);
}
}
setSize(600,500);
setVisible(true);
}
cell.java
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.Painter;
public class Cell extends JButton{
private int id;
private boolean taken;
private String colour;
private Painter painter;
public Cell(int id){
this.id = id;
}
public int getId(){
return id;
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
}
}
disk.java
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
public class Disk extends JComponent{
#Override
public void paintComponent ( Graphics g ) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawOval(50,50,50,50);
}
}
TL;DR How should I rewrite my code so it would have an oval on each button.
Thanks in advance.
The simplest solution: create your oval or disk images in a BufferedImage, put it into an ImageIcon, and simply swap Icons on your JButton or JLabel via its setIcon(myIcon) method. I'd create 3 ImageIcons if this were my GUI, a blank one for the initial state, and then two different colored ones for the occupied states.
For example:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.*;

I am trying to create a program that uses a JComboBox containing specific shapes (Circle, Square, Oval, Rectangle). After the user clicks on a specified shape, the Panel will display 20 of that shape in random dimensions and locations.

You're hard-coding w and h in your code, and so there's no way for this to vary among your shapes. Instead of doing this, use your Random variable, rand, to select random w and h values that are within some desired range. Myself, I wouldn't create my shapes within the paintComponent method since painting is not fully under my control and can occur when I don't want it to. For instance, in your code, your shapes will vary tremendously if the GUI is resized. Instead I'd create a collection such as an ArrayList<Shape> and fill it with created Shape objects (i.e., Ellipse2D for my circles) when desired, and then iterate through that collection within your paintComponent method, drawing your shapes.

I am developing a game and in some part of my game I want the rectangle to disappear on mouse release. I have placed 26 rectangles in an arrayList and remove the particular rectangle clicked as the mouse is released. So if I remove the fill methods, the rectangle disappears successfully but if the fill methods are there, it does not work anymore.
Here is my paint method:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(Rectangles2.class.getResource("background.jpg"));
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), this);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
for (Rectangle s : rectanglesList) {
g2.draw(s);
}
g2.setColor(bColor);
g2.fill(box1);
g2.fill(box2);
g2.fill(box3);
g2.fill(box4);
g2.fill(box5);
g2.fill(box6);
g2.fill(box7);
g2.fill(box8);
g2.fill(box9);
g2.fill(box10);
g2.fill(box11);
g2.fill(box12);
g2.fill(box25);
g2.setColor(wColor);
g2.fill(box13);
g2.fill(box14);
g2.fill(box15);
g2.fill(box16);
g2.fill(box17);
g2.fill(box18);
g2.fill(box19);
g2.fill(box20);
g2.fill(box21);
g2.fill(box22);
g2.fill(box23);
g2.fill(box24);
g2.fill(box26);
}
Here is how I did the removing of the rectangle (Just an excerpt):
if (box1.getBounds().contains(x, y)) {
pickedPanelNum = 0;
rectanglesList.remove(box1);
panelsPane.repaint();
}
Here are the values of the bColor and wColor:
Color bColor = Color.BLACK;
Color wColor = Color.WHITE;
NOTE:
The pickedPanelNum is just for assigning an int value and has no connection to the problem.
I think it is because when I repaint, the fill methods are still there. However I have no idea for an alternate way of painting the rectangles.
I hope my problem is stated clearly. If you have ideas how I could solve this, please tell me. Thank you!

Even if you remove box1 from the List, there is nothing stopping it from getting filled in your paintComponent method, the for-loop is only drawing the outline of the rectangles within the list, but you code implicitly fills them anyway.
So, first, get rid of all the box{n} variables. Next change the paintComponent method...
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
//Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(Rectangles2.class.getResource("background.jpg"));
//g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), this);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
for (Rectangle s : rectanglesList) {
g2.setColor(bColor);
g2.fill(s);
g2.setColor(wColor);
g2.draw(s);
}
}
So, this just uses the rectanglesList to first draw the rectangles and the fill them
Then, lets update the mouseReleased...
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event) {
// Because the rectangles are painted in order, the later
// rectangles are painted over the eailer ones, so, we reverse
// the list so we can check for the higher positioned
// rectangles
List<Rectangle> copy = new ArrayList<>(rectanglesList);
Collections.reverse(copy);
for (Rectangle r : copy) {
if (r.contains(event.getPoint())) {
rectanglesList.remove(r);
break;
}
}
event.getComponent().repaint();
}
Okay, this is little more funky, but basically, we reverse the list of rectangles (because those rectangles that appear later in the list are painted over those that appear before them) and checks to see if the mouse was clicked within any one of them. The moment we find a match, we break out of the loop and repaint the component which generated the event
And, because it's nice to see this stuff running, a complete example...

The program draws a bunch of rectangles for a bar graph. I know the bar class works perfectly fine because I've got it working before adding in the graph panel class. I was drawing straight onto the frame instead of the graph panel. I assume its a problem in the way my set visible methods are called as it was pointed out to me before. I tried looking into it but I've had no luck after playing around and reading documentation.

You should override getPreferredSize of your GraphPanel to ensure that they are laid out correctly
The x/y positions you are passing to the Bar class are irrelevant, as this is causing your Rectangle to paint outside of the visible context of the Bar pane. Painting is done from within the context of the component (0x0 been the top/left corner of the component)
The use of Rectangle or the way you are using it, is actually causing issues. It's impossible to know exactly how big you component will be until it's layed or painted
There is a reason why resume and suspend are deprecated, this could cause no end of "weird" (and wonderful) issues
Take a look at Laying Out Components Within a Container for why you're bars aren't been updated correctly and why the x/y coordinates are pointless
Take a look at How to use Swing Timers for an alternative to your use of Thread
Possibly, something more like...

I am new to java 2d graphics and I have problem handling mouseclick event.
Is it possible for you to tell me why there is nothing going on after updating mouse status to clicked ?
What I want to do is to change the image in array at 0 2 to another image. Nothing happens tho. Thanks for your help in advance.

You need to register a MouseListener for your Board JPanel so that mouseKeyStatus can be called
addMouseListener(this);
Aside: Override paintComponent rather than paint when implementing custom painting in Swing and remember to invoke super.paintComponent(g).
