How to make a button remain still while on top of a rotating image?

class EyE extends JPanel {

Image im;

public int angx=0;

MediaTracker tracker=new MediaTracker(this);

EyE(){

Toolkit ec=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

im=ec.getImage("Graphics\\hcr1.png");

setPreferredSize(new Dimension (400,400));

setBackground(Color.BLACK);

setOpaque(false);

setVisible(true);

}

public void paintComponent(Graphics ecr){

Graphics2D g2d=(Graphics2D)ecr.create();

tracker.addImage(im,1);

try{tracker.waitForID(1);}

catch(InterruptedException ie){}

//code for roatating image (really didn't want to use AffineTransform)

double cs=Math.cos(Math.toRadians(angx)),ss=Math.sin(Math.toRadians(angx));

g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(angx));

double y2=(200*cs-200*ss),x2=(200*ss+200*cs);

double m,n,d,tetcs1,tetss1,tetcs2,tetss2,ang1,ang2;

d=(Math.sqrt(Math.pow((y2-200),2)+Math.pow((x2-200),2)));

tetcs1=d/(400*Math.sqrt(2));

tetss1=Math.sqrt(1-Math.pow(tetcs1,2));

tetcs2=(160000-Math.pow(d,2))/160000;

tetss2=Math.sqrt(1-Math.pow(tetcs2,2));

ang2=180-2*Math.toDegrees(Math.acos(tetcs1));

ang1=ang2+Math.toDegrees(Math.acos(tetcs1))-45;

n=d*(Math.sin(Math.toRadians(ang1)));

double g=Math.sin(Math.toRadians(ang1));

m=Math.sqrt(Math.pow(d,2)-Math.pow(n,2));

if(angx<=90)g2d.translate(m,-n);

else if(angx<=180)g2d.translate(-m,-n);

else if(angx<=270)g2d.translate(-n,-m);

else if(angx<=360)g2d.translate(-n,m);

//rotating code ends

g2d.drawImage(im, 0,0,400,400, this);

g2d.dispose();

super.paintComponent(ecr);

}

}

I've managed to fix it. Here are the modifications in case anyone else has to confront this issue :D.

public void paintComponent(Graphics ecr){

Graphics ecr2=ecr.create(),ecr3;

ecr3=ecr;

ecr=ecr2;

................

g2d.drawImage(im, 0,0,400,400, this);

super.paintComponent(ecr3);

}

Right, well here's the code with the proper comments:

public void paintComponent(Graphics ecr){

Graphics ecr2=ecr.create(),ecr3;

//creating a copy of the original graphics context held by ecr in ecr2 so I can use this instead of the one on which the other components get drawned

ecr3=ecr; //the initial graphics context and ORIGIN gets saved

ecr=ecr2; //now i'll just use the copy

................

g2d.drawImage(im, 0,0,400,400, this);

g2d.dispose();//the copy is useless so might as well delete it

super.paintComponent(ecr3);//painting the components of the panel in the original graphics context, so the button or another comp. added on this one doesnt rotate as well

}

Hope it clarifies any misunderstandings.
