get the min X and min Y of an image drawn on the window

[bizzareshishir]

(in Java)using drawLine function i drew an image in black on (600,600) window.
now i wish to know the min value of X and Y co-ordinate of the image i drew and display it on the same window as soon i release my mouse button..
plzzz help me...m using net beans..

How are you doing the drawing to begin with? Are you creating and filling an ArrayList of Point objects and then iterating through this list in a JPanel's paintComponent method? Or are you drawing in a BufferedImage object that is displayed? Regardless, you get x and y points in the MouseListener, so keep track of them and save the lowest values.

Moderator edit: code tags added

I don't know how to draw in AWT, so I can't advise you on the drawing itself, but as I noted above, you are getting your x and y values in your MouseListener:

  public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
   {
    int x= e.getX();
    int y= e.getY();

So it should be trivial to give the class two int values, minX and minY and check if the current x and y are lower than the current minX and minY respectively, and if so, reset the min values. I'm sure you've done this sort of program prior to doing GUI programming and here it's no different.

Also, I've added code tags to your post to help make the code more readable. To learn how to do this yourself, please read the link in my signature below.

Luck.
