Convert a Graphics2D to an Image or BufferedImage

I have a little problem here.开发者_开发技巧

I have an applet, where user can "draw" inside it. To do that, I use the java.awt.Graphics2D. But, how can I do to save the user draw image as a JPEG image, or at least, convert it to a BufferedImage or something? I don't know how to do that.

Thanks.

Have them draw directly in a BufferedImage by way of it's Graphics2D object which you can get via getGraphics(). Then use ImageIO.write(...) to output the image to whatever file type you desire (and that's supported). The ImageIO API should help you with this: ImageIO API.

The other issue you'll have is where are they supposed to save the image once it has been drawn? On their own computer? If so and this is an applet program, then the applet will need to be "signed" in order for it to have the permission to write to disk. If you're unsure on this, check out Google, this article, or you may wish to write a new question for this issue alone.

I do it that way, and works very well:

BufferedImage awtImage = new BufferedImage(drawPanel.getWidth(), drawPanel.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics g = awtImage.getGraphics();
drawPanel.printAll(g);

try
{
String caminhoImagem = System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\temps\\assinatura.jpg";
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(caminhoImagem);
JPEGImageEncoderImpl j = new JPEGImageEncoderImpl(fos);
j.encode(awtImage);
fos.close();
} catch(e) {..... }

That's all :) Thanks everyone :)

Use the drawImage method provided by Graphics2D and write it using ImageIO

BufferedImage img;
g2dObject.drawImage(img, null, 0, 0);
ImageIO.write(img, "JPEG", new File("foo.jpg"));

Use the "drawOnImage" example from Custom Painting Approaches. Then to create the image of the panel you can use the Screen Image class.

If you'd like to draw JComponent's image onto BufferedImage (JApplet extends JComponent):

JComponent whatToDraw = ...;
BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(whatToDraw.getWidth(), 
        whatToDraw.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
whatToDraw.printAll(img.getGraphics());

And to write its data to JPEG file:

ImageIO.write(img, "jpg", new File("something.jpg"));
