How do I draw a vertical text in Java 2D?

By Wayan in 2D, Core API Last modified: June 5, 2023 0 Comment

To draw a text / string vertically we need to do a transform on the Graphics2D object. First, create an instance of AffineTransform and set the rotation using the setToRotation() method. And then pass this transform object into g2.setTransform() method.

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;

public class DrawVerticalText extends JPanel {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setTitle("Draw Vertical Text Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(new DrawVerticalText());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(420, 350);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        // Define rendering hint, font name, font style and font size
        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        g2.setFont(new Font("Segoe Script", Font.BOLD, 22));
        g2.setColor(Color.RED);

        // Rotate 90 degree to make a vertical text
        AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
        at.setToRotation(Math.toRadians(90), 80, 100);
        g2.setTransform(at);
        g2.drawString("This is a vertical text", 10, 10);
    }
}

Run the snippet, and you’ll see the following screen:

The code snippet below show you how to draw a string using Graphics2D. The drawString() method accept the string to be drawn and their x and y coordinate. Here you can also see how to set the antialiasing mode using the setRenderingHint() method.

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class DrawString extends JPanel {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setTitle("Draw String Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.add(new DrawString());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(420, 300);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        // Define rendering hint, font name, font style and font size
        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        g2.setFont(new Font("Segoe Script", Font.BOLD + Font.ITALIC, 40));
        g2.setPaint(Color.ORANGE);

        // Draw Hello World String
        g2.drawString("Hello World!", 50, 100);
    }
}

Run the snippet, and you’ll see the following screen:

How do I create a gradient paint in Java 2D?

By Wayan in 2D, Core API Last modified: June 5, 2023 0 Comment

To change the color of a graphics shape we can use the setPaint() method. For a simple coloring we can pass the color object into this method, such as Color.RED or Color.GREEN.

If you want to paint with a gradient paint you can use the GradientPaint class. This class provides a way to fill a shape with a linear color gradient pattern. To create a gradient color pattern you can pass the following parameter to the object constructor.

x1: x coordinate of the first specified point in user space
y1: y coordinate of the first specified point in user space
color1: color at the first specified point
x2: x coordinate of the second specified point in user space
y2: y coordinate of the second specified point in user space
color2: color at the second specified point

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;

public class GradientPaintDemo extends JComponent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Gradient Paint Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.getContentPane().add(new GradientPaintDemo());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(new Dimension(420, 350));
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        GradientPaint blackToGray = new GradientPaint(50, 50, Color.BLACK,
                300, 100, Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
        g2.setPaint(blackToGray);
        g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(50, 50, 300, 100));

        GradientPaint blueToBlack = new GradientPaint(0, 0, Color.BLUE,
                400, 400, Color.BLACK);
        g2.setPaint(blueToBlack);
        g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(50, 160, 300, 100));
    }
}

How do I draw an arc in Java 2D?

By Wayan in 2D, Core API Last modified: June 5, 2023 0 Comment

Arc2D is the abstract superclass for all objects that store a 2D arc defined by a framing rectangle, start angle, angular extent (length of the arc), and a closure type (Arc2D.OPEN, Arc2D.CHORD, or Arc2D.PIE).

To constructs a new arc in double values, such as defining the specified location, size, angular extents, and closure type we can use the Arc2D.Double static-inner class.

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Arc2D;

public class DrawArc extends JComponent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Draw Arc Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.getContentPane().add(new DrawArc());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(new Dimension(420, 450));
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(2.0f));
        g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
        g2.draw(new Arc2D.Double(50, 50, 300, 300, 0, 90, Arc2D.PIE));
        g2.setPaint(Color.GREEN);
        g2.draw(new Arc2D.Double(50, 50, 300, 300, 90, 90, Arc2D.PIE));
        g2.setPaint(Color.BLUE);
        g2.fill(new Arc2D.Double(50, 50, 300, 300, 180, 90, Arc2D.PIE));

How do I draw an ellipse in Java 2D?

By Wayan in 2D, Core API Last modified: June 5, 2023 2 Comments

The Ellipse2D class define an ellipse that is defined by a framing rectangle. You can create an ellipse using a double or float values. When creating an ellipse using double values use the Ellipse2D.Double class. And for the float values you can use the Ellipse2D.Float class.

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;

public class DrawEllipse extends JComponent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Draw Ellipse Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.getContentPane().add(new DrawEllipse());
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(new Dimension(420, 400));
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(5.0f));
        g2.draw(new Ellipse2D.Double(50, 50, 250, 250));

        g2.setPaint(Color.BLUE);
        g2.fill(new Ellipse2D.Double(10, 10, 40, 40));

        g2.setPaint(Color.YELLOW);
        g2.fill(new Ellipse2D.Double(10, 300, 40, 40));

        g2.setPaint(Color.GREEN);
        g2.fill(new Ellipse2D.Double(300, 300, 40, 40));

        g2.setPaint(Color.ORANGE);

How do I draw a round rectangle in Java 2D?

By Wayan in 2D, Core API Last modified: June 4, 2023 0 Comment

The RoundRectangle2D class defines a rectangle with rounded corners defined by a location (x,y), dimension (w x h), and the width and height of an arc with which to round the corners.

The RoundRectangle2D.Double class constructs a RoundRectangle2D from the specified values in double, including the location, width and the arch of the round rectangle.

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.RoundRectangle2D;

public class DrawRoundRectangle extends JComponent {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Rounded Rectangle Demo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.getContentPane().add(new DrawRoundRectangle(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(420, 300);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        g2.setPaint(Color.RED);
        g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(2.0f));

        double x = 50;

The code snippet below show you how to use the Graphics2D class the draw a rectangle. You can see the snippet in the paintComponent(Graphics g) method defined in the anonymous JPanel object.

To draw a rectangle we use the Rectangle2D.Double static-inner class. The constructor of this class accept the information about the rectangle x, y coordinates and its width and height.

package org.kodejava.awt.geom;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;

public class DrawRectangle {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("Draw Rectangle");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.add(new JPanel() {
                @Override
                protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                    // Draw a rectangle using Rectangle2D class
                    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
                    g2.setColor(Color.RED);

                    double x = 100;
                    double y = 100;
                    double width = x + 200;
                    double height = y + 50;

                    // Draw the red rectangle
                    g2.draw(new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, width, height));

                    g2.setColor(Color.BLUE);
                    // Draw the blue rectangle
                    g2.draw(new Rectangle2D.Double(150, 50, 200, 250));
                }
            }, BorderLayout.CENTER);

            frame.pack();
            frame.setSize(new Dimension(500, 400));
