draw transparent componet on bufferedimage?

A

aksel.schmidt

i have a component living in the glasspane, partly transparent to
allow see through to the background

now i want to take a 'snapshot' of the transparent component to make
som animations in the glasspane with (slide transition etc.) - but i
cannot make the transparency information appear on the buffered image
- i use:

public static BufferedImage createImage(JComponent component) {
Dimension d = component.getSize();
if (d.width == 0) {
d = component.getPreferredSize();
component.setSize(d);
}

GraphicsEnvironment ge =
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice gs = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
GraphicsConfiguration gc = gs.getDefaultConfiguration();

BufferedImage image = gc.createCompatibleImage(d.width,
d.height, Transparency.TRANSLUCENT);
Graphics2D g2d = image.createGraphics();
component.paint(g2d);
g2d.dispose();
return image;
}

how do i paint a transparent component on an image?

thanks!

Aksel:

It's not really clear what you want to do. An image can have
transparent pixels. Is the component.paint() that you are referencing
above draw transparent pixels onto the component? It is also possible
to draw an image using an AlphaComposite with less than 100% to create a
transparent look. We either need more code or a better explanation.

We either need more code or a better explanation.
The component i want to 'snapshot' is made of a jpanel with a alpha
value background (half see through) - with other components on it
(more alpha values here) - so it is not simply transparent/not
transparent pixels on the component

I'm still not sure what you are trying to do Aksel. But try this and
let me know if that is the direction you are trying to go.

thanks for the effort
this code explains my problem:
when i press the button, i want to copy a panel (living in the
glasspane on the left side) into an image and be able to draw this
image on the right side - completely with alpha values etc.
what it does right now is just removing the alpha values...

again -thanks for the effort - but it doesn't work

the right side of the glass pane is supposed to draw the image of the
left side of the glasspane - complete with half-transparent red line
etc ABOVE the text that is on the background textarea

According to my understanding of the requirement, it works
here using Java 1.6.0_02 on Win XP.

Here is a screenshot of the GUI as it first appears.

left side of the glasspane - complete with half-transparent red line

And a screenshot after I click the button..

Are you seeing something different?

hi

its the same as what i see - but not the desired functionality
as you see, the image drawn on the right side is not transparent - the
text in the background is not seen anymore as desired

Congratulations! *Now* I understand what you meant.
A picture paints a thousand words. :)

Well, at least, 'now' after I fixed the line-wrap that broke
both examples when I tried to compile them. It is best
to keep code posting width to less than around 62 chars,
so line-wrap is not a problem. My SSCCE earlier,
showed how to reorganise the code so that the longest
lines were shorter.

Here is a tool to help check line width.
<http://www.physci.org/twc.jnlp>

But finally.. (to self and nobody else in particular).
// Note carefully the 'A'
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(d.width, d.height,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Click to expand...

Ha! I 'knew' transparency in the BufferedImage
would somehow be important. ;-)
