| java.lang.Object java.awt.Graphics
All known Subclasses: java.awt.Graphics2D, sun.awt.NullGraphics, java.awt.X11Graphics,
Graphics | abstract public class Graphics (Code) | | The Graphics class is the abstract base class for
all graphics contexts that allow an application to draw onto
components that are realized on various devices, as well as
onto off-screen images.
A Graphics object encapsulates state information needed
for the basic rendering operations that Java supports. This
state information includes the following properties:
- The
Component object on which to draw.
- A translation origin for rendering and clipping coordinates.
- The current clip.
- The current color.
- The current font.
- The current logical pixel operation function (XOR or Paint).
- The current XOR alternation color
(see
setXORMode ).
Coordinates are infinitely thin and lie between the pixels of the
output device.
Operations which draw the outline of a figure operate by traversing
an infinitely thin path between pixels with a pixel-sized pen that hangs
down and to the right of the anchor point on the path.
Operations which fill a figure operate by filling the interior
of that infinitely thin path.
Operations which render horizontal text render the ascending
portion of character glyphs entirely above the baseline coordinate.
The graphics pen hangs down and to the right from the path it traverses.
This has the following implications:
- If you draw a figure that covers a given rectangle, that
figure occupies one extra row of pixels on the right and bottom edges
as compared to filling a figure that is bounded by that same rectangle.
- If you draw a horizontal line along the same y coordinate as
the baseline of a line of text, that line is drawn entirely below
the text, except for any descenders.
All coordinates which appear as arguments to the methods of this
Graphics object are considered relative to the
translation origin of this Graphics object prior to
the invocation of the method.
All rendering operations modify only pixels which lie within the
area bounded by both the current clip of the graphics context
and the extents of the component used to create the
Graphics object.
All drawing or writing is done in the current color,
using the current paint mode, and in the current font.
Compatibility
The Graphics class is compatible with the graphics class in
PersonalJava. It has modified behavior from JDK1.1.8, in that
its setXorMode may not have any effect.

This constructor is the default contructor for a graphics
context.
Since Graphics is an abstract class, applications
cannot call this constructor directly. Graphics contexts are
obtained from other graphics contexts or are created by calling
getGraphics on a component.
See Also: java.awt.Graphics.create See Also: java.awt.Component.getGraphics since: JDK1.0 |
clipRect | abstract public void clipRect(int x, int y, int width, int height)(Code) | | Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle.
The resulting clipping area is the intersection of the current

This method can only be used to make the current clip smaller.
To set the current clip larger, use any of the setClip methods.
Rendering operations have no effect outside of the clipping area.
Parameters: x - the x coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with Parameters: y - the y coordinate of the rectangle to intersect the clip with Parameters: width - the width of the rectangle to intersect the clip with Parameters: height - the height of the rectangle to intersect the clip with See Also: Graphics.setClip(int,int,int,int) See Also: Graphics.setClip(Shape) |
copyArea | abstract public void copyArea(int x, int y, int width, int height, int dx, int dy)(Code) | | Copies an area of the component by a distance specified by
dx and dy . From the point specified
by x and y , this method
copies downwards and to the right. To copy an area of the
component to the left or upwards, specify a negative value for
dx or dy .
If a portion of the source rectangle lies outside the bounds
of the component, or is obscured by another window or component,
copyArea will be unable to copy the associated
pixels. The area that is omitted can be refreshed by calling
the component's paint method.
Parameters: x - the x coordinate of the source rectangle. Parameters: y - the y coordinate of the source rectangle. Parameters: width - the width of the source rectangle. Parameters: height - the height of the source rectangle. Parameters: dx - the horizontal distance to copy the pixels. Parameters: dy - the vertical distance to copy the pixels. since: JDK1.0 |
create | abstract public Graphics create()(Code) | | Creates a new Graphics object that is
a copy of this Graphics object.
a new graphics context that is a copy of this graphics context. since: JDK1.0 |
create | public Graphics create(int x, int y, int width, int height)(Code) | | Creates a new Graphics object based on this
Graphics object, but with a new translation and clip area.
The new Graphics object has its origin
translated to the specified point (x, y).
Its clip area is determined by the intersection of the original
clip area with the specified rectangle. The arguments are all
interpreted in the coordinate system of the original
Graphics object. The new graphics context is
identical to the original, except in two respects:
-
The new graphics context is translated by (x, y).
That is to say, the point (
0 , 0 ) in the
new graphics context is the same as (x, y) in
the original graphics context.
-
The new graphics context has an additional clipping rectangle, in
addition to whatever (translated) clipping rectangle it inherited
from the original graphics context. The origin of the new clipping
rectangle is at (
0 , 0 ), and its size
is specified by the width and height arguments.
Parameters: x - the x coordinate. Parameters: y - the y coordinate. Parameters: width - the width of the clipping rectangle. Parameters: height - the height of the clipping rectangle. a new graphics context. See Also: java.awt.Graphics.translate See Also: java.awt.Graphics.clipRect since: JDK1.0 |
dispose | abstract public void dispose()(Code) | | Disposes of this graphics context and releases
any system resources that it is using.
A Graphics object cannot be used after
dispose has been called.
When a Java program runs, a large number of Graphics
objects can be created within a short time frame.
Although the finalization process of the garbage collector
also disposes of the same system resources, it is preferable
to manually free the associated resources by calling this
method rather than to rely on a finalization process which
may not run to completion for a long period of time.
Graphics objects which are provided as arguments to the
paint and update methods
of components are automatically released by the system when
those methods return. For efficiency, programmers should
call dispose when finished using
a Graphics object only if it was created
directly from a component or another Graphics object.

The coordinates in the rectangle are relative to the coordinate
system origin of this graphics context. This method differs
from
Graphics.getClipBounds() getClipBounds in that an existing
rectangle is used instead of allocating a new one.
This method refers to the user clip, which is independent of the
clipping associated with device bounds and window visibility.
If no clip has previously been set, or if the clip has been
cleared using setClip(null) , this method returns the
specified Rectangle .
Parameters: r - the rectangle where the current clipping area iscopied to. Any current values in this rectangle areoverwritten. the bounding rectangle of the current clipping area. |

setPaintMode | abstract public void setPaintMode()(Code) | | Sets the paint mode of this graphics context to overwrite the
destination with this graphics context's current color.
This sets the logical pixel operation function to the paint or
overwrite mode. All subsequent rendering operations will
overwrite the destination with the current color.
since: JDK1.0 |
setXORMode | abstract public void setXORMode(Color c1)(Code) | | This method sets the graphics context to xor paint mode using
the "exclusive or" color xorcolor.
This specifies that logical pixel operations are performed in the
XOR mode, which alternates pixels between the current color and
a specified XOR color.
When drawing operations are performed, pixels which are the
current color are changed to the specified color, and vice versa.
Pixels that are of colors other than those two colors are changed
in an unpredictable but reversible manner; if the same figure is
drawn twice, then all pixels are restored to their original values.
Compatibility
Both PersonalJava and Personal Profile implementations are not required
to support this method.
System Properties
The System Property java.awt.graphics.SupportsXorMode is set to
"true" or "false" indicating if the platform supports
XOR rendering.
Parameters: c1 - the XOR alternation color UnsupportedOperationException if the implementation doesnot support an XOR paint mode. since: JDK1.0 |
