Drawing a shape on an image

Hello,

I am trying to draw a shape over an image, but I'm having trouble with the size drawing the size of the rectangle. When the user clicks the mouse, the program is supposed to save both the starting points and endpoints then draw in a rectangle. However, it looks like the rectangle is doubling in size. Can someone please have a look at the code and tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for any help.

I would advise you to avoid getting a Graphics object via a component's getGraphics method. Yes, this will get you a valid graphics object, but it will only be valid up until the component repaints, and then *poof* your drawing disappears. Much better is to do passive drawing within the paintComponent method. If you study the Sun tutorials on graphics, it will show you exactly what I mean and how to correct your problem.

Best of luck.
