public abstract class Graphics2D extends Graphics
ThisGraphics2Dclass extends theGraphicsclass to provide more sophisticated control over geometry, coordinate transformations, color management, and text layout. This is the fundamental class for rendering 2-dimensional shapes, text and images on the Java(tm) platform.Coordinate Spaces
All coordinates passed to aGraphics2Dobject are specified in a device-independent coordinate system called User Space, which is used by applications. TheGraphics2Dobject contains anAffineTransformobject as part of its rendering state that defines how to convert coordinates from user space to device-dependent coordinates in Device Space.Coordinates in device space usually refer to individual device pixels and are aligned on the infinitely thin gaps between these pixels. Some
Graphics2Dobjects can be used to capture rendering operations for storage into a graphics metafile for playback on a concrete device of unknown physical resolution at a later time. Since the resolution might not be known when the rendering operations are captured, theGraphics2D Transformis set up to transform user coordinates to a virtual device space that approximates the expected resolution of the target device. Further transformations might need to be applied at playback time if the estimate is incorrect.Some of the operations performed by the rendering attribute objects occur in the device space, but all
Graphics2Dmethods take user space coordinates.Every
Graphics2Dobject is associated with a target that defines where rendering takes place. AGraphicsConfigurationobject defines the characteristics of the rendering target, such as pixel format and resolution. The same rendering target is used throughout the life of aGraphics2Dobject.When creating a
Graphics2Dobject, theGraphicsConfigurationspecifies the default transform for the target of theGraphics2D(aComponentorImage). This default transform maps the user space coordinate system to screen and printer device coordinates such that the origin maps to the upper left hand corner of the target region of the device with increasing X coordinates extending to the right and increasing Y coordinates extending downward. The scaling of the default transform is set to identity for those devices that are close to 72 dpi, such as screen devices. The scaling of the default transform is set to approximately 72 user space coordinates per square inch for high resolution devices, such as printers. For image buffers, the default transform is theIdentitytransform.Rendering Process
The Rendering Process can be broken down into four phases that are controlled by theGraphics2Drendering attributes. The renderer can optimize many of these steps, either by caching the results for future calls, by collapsing multiple virtual steps into a single operation, or by recognizing various attributes as common simple cases that can be eliminated by modifying other parts of the operation.The steps in the rendering process are:
- Determine what to render.
-
Constrain the rendering operation to the current
Clip. TheClipis specified by aShapein user space and is controlled by the program using the various clip manipulation methods ofGraphicsandGraphics2D. This user clip is transformed into device space by the currentTransformand combined with the device clip, which is defined by the visibility of windows and device extents. The combination of the user clip and device clip defines the composite clip, which determines the final clipping region. The user clip is not modified by the rendering system to reflect the resulting composite clip. - Determine what colors to render.
-
Apply the colors to the destination drawing surface using the current
Compositeattribute in theGraphics2Dcontext.
The three types of rendering operations, along with details of each of their particular rendering processes are:-
Shapeoperations-
If the operation is a
draw(Shape)operation, then thecreateStrokedShapemethod on the currentStrokeattribute in theGraphics2Dcontext is used to construct a newShapeobject that contains the outline of the specifiedShape. -
The
Shapeis transformed from user space to device space using the currentTransformin theGraphics2Dcontext. -
The outline of the
Shapeis extracted using thegetPathIteratormethod ofShape, which returns aPathIteratorobject that iterates along the boundary of theShape. -
If the
Graphics2Dobject cannot handle the curved segments that thePathIteratorobject returns then it can call the alternategetPathIteratormethod ofShape, which flattens theShape. -
The current
Paintin theGraphics2Dcontext is queried for aPaintContext, which specifies the colors to render in device space.
-
If the operation is a
-
Text operations
-
The following steps are used to determine the set of glyphs required
to render the indicated
String:-
If the argument is a
String, then the currentFontin theGraphics2Dcontext is asked to convert the Unicode characters in theStringinto a set of glyphs for presentation with whatever basic layout and shaping algorithms the font implements. -
If the argument is an
AttributedCharacterIterator, the iterator is asked to convert itself to aTextLayoutusing its embedded font attributes. TheTextLayoutimplements more sophisticated glyph layout algorithms that perform Unicode bi-directional layout adjustments automatically for multiple fonts of differing writing directions. -
If the argument is a
GlyphVector, then theGlyphVectorobject already contains the appropriate font-specific glyph codes with explicit coordinates for the position of each glyph.
-
If the argument is a
-
The current
Fontis queried to obtain outlines for the indicated glyphs. These outlines are treated as shapes in user space relative to the position of each glyph that was determined in step 1. -
The character outlines are filled as indicated above
under
Shapeoperations. -
The current
Paintis queried for aPaintContext, which specifies the colors to render in device space.
-
The following steps are used to determine the set of glyphs required
to render the indicated
-
ImageOperations-
The region of interest is defined by the bounding box of the source
Image. This bounding box is specified in Image Space, which is theImageobject's local coordinate system. -
If an
AffineTransformis passed todrawImage(Image, AffineTransform, ImageObserver), theAffineTransformis used to transform the bounding box from image space to user space. If noAffineTransformis supplied, the bounding box is treated as if it is already in user space. -
The bounding box of the source
Imageis transformed from user space into device space using the currentTransform. Note that the result of transforming the bounding box does not necessarily result in a rectangular region in device space. -
The
Imageobject determines what colors to render, sampled according to the source to destination coordinate mapping specified by the currentTransformand the optional image transform.
-
The region of interest is defined by the bounding box of the source
Default Rendering Attributes
The default values for theGraphics2Drendering attributes are:Paint- The color of the
Component. Font- The
Fontof theComponent. Stroke- A square pen with a linewidth of 1, no dashing, miter segment joins and square end caps.
Transform- The
getDefaultTransformfor theGraphicsConfigurationof theComponent. Composite- The
AlphaComposite.SRC_OVERrule. Clip- No rendering
Clip, the output is clipped to theComponent.
Rendering Compatibility Issues
The JDK(tm) 1.1 rendering model is based on a pixelization model that specifies that coordinates are infinitely thin, lying between the pixels. Drawing operations are performed using a one-pixel wide pen that fills the pixel below and to the right of the anchor point on the path. The JDK 1.1 rendering model is consistent with the capabilities of most of the existing class of platform renderers that need to resolve integer coordinates to a discrete pen that must fall completely on a specified number of pixels.The Java 2D(tm) (Java(tm) 2 platform) API supports antialiasing renderers. A pen with a width of one pixel does not need to fall completely on pixel N as opposed to pixel N+1. The pen can fall partially on both pixels. It is not necessary to choose a bias direction for a wide pen since the blending that occurs along the pen traversal edges makes the sub-pixel position of the pen visible to the user. On the other hand, when antialiasing is turned off by setting the
KEY_ANTIALIASINGhint key to theVALUE_ANTIALIAS_OFFhint value, the renderer might need to apply a bias to determine which pixel to modify when the pen is straddling a pixel boundary, such as when it is drawn along an integer coordinate in device space. While the capabilities of an antialiasing renderer make it no longer necessary for the rendering model to specify a bias for the pen, it is desirable for the antialiasing and non-antialiasing renderers to perform similarly for the common cases of drawing one-pixel wide horizontal and vertical lines on the screen. To ensure that turning on antialiasing by setting theKEY_ANTIALIASINGhint key toVALUE_ANTIALIAS_ONdoes not cause such lines to suddenly become twice as wide and half as opaque, it is desirable to have the model specify a path for such lines so that they completely cover a particular set of pixels to help increase their crispness.Java 2D API maintains compatibility with JDK 1.1 rendering behavior, such that legacy operations and existing renderer behavior is unchanged under Java 2D API. Legacy methods that map onto general
drawandfillmethods are defined, which clearly indicates howGraphics2DextendsGraphicsbased on settings ofStrokeandTransformattributes and rendering hints. The definition performs identically under default attribute settings. For example, the defaultStrokeis aBasicStrokewith a width of 1 and no dashing and the default Transform for screen drawing is an Identity transform.The following two rules provide predictable rendering behavior whether aliasing or antialiasing is being used.
- Device coordinates are defined to be between device pixels which avoids any inconsistent results between aliased and antialiased rendering. If coordinates were defined to be at a pixel's center, some of the pixels covered by a shape, such as a rectangle, would only be half covered. With aliased rendering, the half covered pixels would either be rendered inside the shape or outside the shape. With anti-aliased rendering, the pixels on the entire edge of the shape would be half covered. On the other hand, since coordinates are defined to be between pixels, a shape like a rectangle would have no half covered pixels, whether or not it is rendered using antialiasing.
- Lines and paths stroked using the
BasicStrokeobject may be "normalized" to provide consistent rendering of the outlines when positioned at various points on the drawable and whether drawn with aliased or antialiased rendering. This normalization process is controlled by theKEY_STROKE_CONTROLhint. The exact normalization algorithm is not specified, but the goals of this normalization are to ensure that lines are rendered with consistent visual appearance regardless of how they fall on the pixel grid and to promote more solid horizontal and vertical lines in antialiased mode so that they resemble their non-antialiased counterparts more closely. A typical normalization step might promote antialiased line endpoints to pixel centers to reduce the amount of blending or adjust the subpixel positioning of non-antialiased lines so that the floating point line widths round to even or odd pixel counts with equal likelihood. This process can move endpoints by up to half a pixel (usually towards positive infinity along both axes) to promote these consistent results.
The following definitions of general legacy methods perform identically to previously specified behavior under default attribute settings:
-
For
filloperations, includingfillRect,fillRoundRect,fillOval,fillArc,fillPolygon, andclearRect,fillcan now be called with the desiredShape. For example, when filling a rectangle:fill(new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));
is called. -
Similarly, for draw operations, including
drawLine,drawRect,drawRoundRect,drawOval,drawArc,drawPolyline, anddrawPolygon,drawcan now be called with the desiredShape. For example, when drawing a rectangle:draw(new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));
is called. -
The
draw3DRectandfill3DRectmethods were implemented in terms of thedrawLineandfillRectmethods in theGraphicsclass which would predicate their behavior upon the currentStrokeandPaintobjects in aGraphics2Dcontext. This class overrides those implementations with versions that use the currentColorexclusively, overriding the currentPaintand which usesfillRectto describe the exact same behavior as the preexisting methods regardless of the setting of the currentStroke.
Graphicsclass defines only thesetColormethod to control the color to be painted. Since the Java 2D API extends theColorobject to implement the newPaintinterface, the existingsetColormethod is now a convenience method for setting the currentPaintattribute to aColorobject.setColor(c)is equivalent tosetPaint(c).The
Graphicsclass defines two methods for controlling how colors are applied to the destination.-
The
setPaintModemethod is implemented as a convenience method to set the defaultComposite, equivalent tosetComposite(new AlphaComposite.SrcOver). -
The
setXORMode(Color xorcolor)method is implemented as a convenience method to set a specialCompositeobject that ignores theAlphacomponents of source colors and sets the destination color to the value:dstpixel = (PixelOf(srccolor) ^ PixelOf(xorcolor) ^ dstpixel);

translate
public abstract void translate(int x, int y)Translates the origin of theGraphics2Dcontext to the point (x, y) in the current coordinate system. Modifies theGraphics2Dcontext so that its new origin corresponds to the point (x, y) in theGraphics2Dcontext's former coordinate system. All coordinates used in subsequent rendering operations on this graphics context are relative to this new origin.
-
translate
public abstract void translate(double tx, double ty)Concatenates the currentGraphics2D Transformwith a translation transform. Subsequent rendering is translated by the specified distance relative to the previous position. This is equivalent to calling transform(T), where T is anAffineTransformrepresented by the following matrix:[ 1 0 tx ] [ 0 1 ty ] [ 0 0 1 ]- Parameters:
tx- the distance to translate along the x-axisty- the distance to translate along the y-axis
-
rotate
public abstract void rotate(double theta)
Concatenates the currentGraphics2DTransformwith a rotation transform. Subsequent rendering is rotated by the specified radians relative to the previous origin. This is equivalent to callingtransform(R), where R is anAffineTransformrepresented by the following matrix:[ cos(theta) -sin(theta) 0 ] [ sin(theta) cos(theta) 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]Rotating with a positive angle theta rotates points on the positive x axis toward the positive y axis.- Parameters:
theta- the angle of rotation in radians
-
rotate
public abstract void rotate(double theta, double x, double y)Concatenates the currentGraphics2DTransformwith a translated rotation transform. Subsequent rendering is transformed by a transform which is constructed by translating to the specified location, rotating by the specified radians, and translating back by the same amount as the original translation. This is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:translate(x, y); rotate(theta); translate(-x, -y);Rotating with a positive angle theta rotates points on the positive x axis toward the positive y axis.- Parameters:
theta- the angle of rotation in radiansx- the x coordinate of the origin of the rotationy- the y coordinate of the origin of the rotation
-
scale
public abstract void scale(double sx, double sy)Concatenates the currentGraphics2DTransformwith a scaling transformation Subsequent rendering is resized according to the specified scaling factors relative to the previous scaling. This is equivalent to callingtransform(S), where S is anAffineTransformrepresented by the following matrix:[ sx 0 0 ] [ 0 sy 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]- Parameters:
sx- the amount by which X coordinates in subsequent rendering operations are multiplied relative to previous rendering operations.sy- the amount by which Y coordinates in subsequent rendering operations are multiplied relative to previous rendering operations.
-
shear
public abstract void shear(double shx, double shy)Concatenates the currentGraphics2DTransformwith a shearing transform. Subsequent renderings are sheared by the specified multiplier relative to the previous position. This is equivalent to callingtransform(SH), where SH is anAffineTransformrepresented by the following matrix:[ 1 shx 0 ] [ shy 1 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]- Parameters:
shx- the multiplier by which coordinates are shifted in the positive X axis direction as a function of their Y coordinateshy- the multiplier by which coordinates are shifted in the positive Y axis direction as a function of their X coordinate
-
transform
public abstract void transform(AffineTransform Tx)
Composes anAffineTransformobject with theTransformin thisGraphics2Daccording to the rule last-specified-first-applied. If the currentTransformis Cx, the result of composition with Tx is a newTransformCx'. Cx' becomes the currentTransformfor thisGraphics2D. Transforming a point p by the updatedTransformCx' is equivalent to first transforming p by Tx and then transforming the result by the originalTransformCx. In other words, Cx'(p) = Cx(Tx(p)). A copy of the Tx is made, if necessary, so further modifications to Tx do not affect rendering.- Parameters:
Tx- theAffineTransformobject to be composed with the currentTransform- See Also:
setTransform(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform),AffineTransform
-
setTransform
public abstract void setTransform(AffineTransform Tx)
Overwrites the Transform in theGraphics2Dcontext. WARNING: This method should never be used to apply a new coordinate transform on top of an existing transform because theGraphics2Dmight already have a transform that is needed for other purposes, such as rendering Swing components or applying a scaling transformation to adjust for the resolution of a printer.To add a coordinate transform, use the
transform,rotate,scale, orshearmethods. ThesetTransformmethod is intended only for restoring the originalGraphics2Dtransform after rendering, as shown in this example:// Get the current transform AffineTransform saveAT = g2.getTransform(); // Perform transformation g2d.transform(...); // Render g2d.draw(...); // Restore original transform g2d.setTransform(saveAT);
- Parameters:
Tx- theAffineTransformthat was retrieved from thegetTransformmethod- See Also:
transform(java.awt.geom.AffineTransform),getTransform(),AffineTransform

setBackground
public abstract void setBackground(Color color)
Sets the background color for theGraphics2Dcontext. The background color is used for clearing a region. When aGraphics2Dis constructed for aComponent, the background color is inherited from theComponent. Setting the background color in theGraphics2Dcontext only affects the subsequentclearRectcalls and not the background color of theComponent. To change the background of theComponent, use appropriate methods of theComponent.- Parameters:
color- the background color that is used in subsequent calls toclearRect- See Also:
getBackground(),Graphics.clearRect(int, int, int, int)

clip
public abstract void clip(Shape s)
Intersects the currentClipwith the interior of the specifiedShapeand sets theClipto the resulting intersection. The specifiedShapeis transformed with the currentGraphics2DTransformbefore being intersected with the currentClip. This method is used to make the currentClipsmaller. To make theCliplarger, usesetClip. The user clip modified by this method is independent of the clipping associated with device bounds and visibility. If no clip has previously been set, or if the clip has been cleared usingsetClipwith anullargument, the specifiedShapebecomes the new user clip.- Parameters:
s- theShapeto be intersected with the currentClip. Ifsisnull, this method clears the currentClip.

getFontRenderContext
public abstract FontRenderContext getFontRenderContext()
Get the rendering context of theFontwithin thisGraphics2Dcontext. TheFontRenderContextencapsulates application hints such as anti-aliasing and fractional metrics, as well as target device specific information such as dots-per-inch. This information should be provided by the application when using objects that perform typographical formatting, such asFontandTextLayout. This information should also be provided by applications that perform their own layout and need accurate measurements of various characteristics of glyphs such as advance and line height when various rendering hints have been applied to the text rendering.- Returns:
- a reference to an instance of FontRenderContext.
