Check if image contains mouse

[trishtren]

Hey, iv been trying to find a simple way to check if an image has been clicked, So far i have been using the following method below :

       //draw the image 
	Rectangle imagebox = new Rectangle(30, 30,30, 30);
	TexturePaint imagepaint = new TexturePaint(image,imagebox);
	g2.setPaint(imagepaint);
	g2.fill(imagebox);

        //if anchor rectangle contains mouse.getx and mouse.getY perform print
	if (imagepaint.getAnchorRect().contains(e.getX(),e.getY()))
	 {
		System.out.println("Image clicked");			
					 
	 }

Im looking for a method of checking the image was clicked that does not use a rectangle, as this means you can click anywhere within a box and the image is selected, id prefer to create a shape from the image loaded, however this involves a moderately large amount of code to generate a shape based on pixel alignment. Any help in making it possible to select an image only if its pixels are clicked would be great :)

BufferedImage has a method getRGB(int x, int y) that might be useful for that.
