Scale 2 or more pictures using a JSlider

[Panchitopro]

Hi everybody,

I posted this message in general Java, I'am not sure if it is right or not.

I would like to know how I can display 2 or more images and then make scale in these images on the same time.

Thank you.

I found this code here in Java Forums this is my reference:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;

public class MapScale extends JPanel {
BufferedImage image;
double scale = 1.0;

public MapScale(BufferedImage image) {
this.image = image;
}

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATI ON,
RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
double x = (getWidth() - scale*image.getWidth())/2;
double y = (getHeight() - scale*image.getHeight())/2;
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(x,y);
at.scale(scale, scale);
g2.drawRenderedImage(image, at);
}

public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
int w = (int)(scale*image.getWidth());
int h = (int)(scale*image.getHeight());
return new Dimension(w, h);
}

private JSlider getSlider() {
int min = 1, max = 36, inc = 5;
final JSlider slider = new JSlider(min, max, 16);
slider.setMajorTickSpacing(5);
slider.setMinorTickSpacing(1);
slider.setPaintTicks(true);
slider.setSnapToTicks(true);
slider.setLabelTable(getLabelTable(min, max, inc));
slider.setPaintLabels(true);
slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
int value = slider.getValue();
scale = (value+4)/20.0;
revalidate();
repaint();
}
});
return slider;
}

private Hashtable getLabelTable(int min, int max, int inc) {
Hashtable<Integer,JLabel> table = new Hashtable<Integer,JLabel>();
for(int j = min; j <= max; j += inc) {
String s = String.format("%.2f", (j+4)/20.0);
table.put(Integer.valueOf(j), new JLabel(s));
}
return table;
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String path = "images/GIRL.JPG";
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
MapScale test = new MapScale(image);
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(test));
f.getContentPane().add(test.getSlider(), "Last");
f.setSize(400,400);
f.setLocation(200,200);
f.setVisible(true);
}
}

There are two general ways to do this:
1 — drawing the images in a JPanel
2 — mounting scaled images in JLabels.
Here's an example showing both ways:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

    public MultiScale(BufferedImage[] images) {
        this.images = images;
    }

    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
        int value = ((JSlider)e.getSource()).getValue();
        scale = (value+4)/20.0;
        imagePanel.setScale(scale);
        setImages();
    }

    private JPanel getContent() {
        imagePanel = new ImageScalePanel(images);
        imagePanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("graphic"));
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
        gbc.weighty = 1.0;
        gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
        panel.add(imagePanel, gbc);
        panel.add(getLabelPanel(), gbc);
        return panel;
    }

    private JPanel getLabelPanel() {

        }
        setImages();
        return panel;
    }

    private void setImages() {
        for(int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {

Images from Using Swing Components Examples, down low.

[Panchitopro]

Morning,

I checked the code and I took the images from the project CheckBoxDemo (Using Swing Components: Examples (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)) and it works.

Just I would like to comment that I found 3 things when I put the code in Eclipse:

1. in this part I had an error:
...
Hashtable<Integer,JLabel> table = new Hashtable<Integer,JLabel>();
...
It display a Syntax error, parameterized types are only available if source level is 5.0.

I just changed by:
Hashtable table = new Hashtable();

2. In this line:
...
String s = String.format("%.2f", (j+4)/20.0);
...
and the message in Eclipse said:
The method format(String, Object[]) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (String, double)

Here I wrote String s = "x"; instead.

I don't understand why method "format" does not work.


3. It has appeared a warning message in Eclipse when I tryed to do a debug, something about deprecated functions, and Eclipse gave me 3 options (Continue, Cancel and Restart), I chose Restart and now it works correctly. I tryed to put the original code in a new project to see the text message but I couldn't do it, this is rare. Anyway.

Thank you very much hardwired.

Now I would like to know how can I put an image with a dimension 2400 x 1800 like a thumbnail into this project. I will check that, however if you can help me with a reference please, I will apprecite it.

Thank you again.

parameterized types are only available if source level is 5.0
Generics was introduced in j2se 1.5. You can check the version of java at the prompt with >java -version
The method format(String, Object[]) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (String, double)
The String.format method was also new in j2se 1.5
Looks like your ide might have a format method used for writing out arrays.

Hi,

I came back, I have had some problems with the version, it seems that I can not use the swing controls into my project because of the versions with MS VM and Sun.

Thank you for your answer and I will write later.
