Border lost when rotating JPanel

Thanks for your reply and the article you posted!

I can't restore the Graphics object for some reason :( If I restore the Graphics object before exiting paintComponent() then all the transformations I did in the paintComponent are lost. Do you know how to fix this?

Anyway, this is a sample code (quite messed, I'm experimenting), but I doubt you can use it , because I use a little image "empty.jpg" to fill some spaces that are empty without this image and I don't know hot to attach it :

public class Test {

enum Rotation { NORMAL, CCLOCK90, CLOCK90, REVERSE };

enum Position { NORTH, SOUTH,LEFT, RIGHT };

public class GUISpace extends JPanel {

private GridLayout layout;

private JLabel label;

private JPanel internal_panel;

private JLabel labels[];

private ImageIcon ic;

private ImageIcon ic2;

private ImageIcon icp[];

private Position pos;

public GUISpace(String name, Position pos) {

super();

this.pos = pos;

this.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black, 2));

ic = new ImageIcon("images/empty.jpg");

icp = new ImageIcon[6];

icp[0] = new ImageIcon("images/player11.jpg");

icp[1] = new ImageIcon("images/player21.jpg");

icp[2] = new ImageIcon("images/player31.jpg");

icp[3] = new ImageIcon("images/player41.jpg");

icp[4] = new ImageIcon("images/player51.jpg");

icp[5] = new ImageIcon("images/player61.jpg");

labels = new JLabel[6];

this.setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

internal_panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3,2));

label = new JLabel(name);

internal_panel.setAlignmentX(JComponent.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);

label.setAlignmentX(JComponent.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);

label.setFont(new Font("Font", label.getFont().getStyle(), 8));

label.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(ic.getIconWidth()*2, 10));

for (int counter = 0; counter < 6; counter++) {

labels[counter] = new JLabel(ic);

internal_panel.add(labels[counter]);

}

this.add(label);

this.add(internal_panel);

}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g.create();

if (pos == Position.RIGHT) {

g2.translate(this.getHeight(), 0);

g2.rotate(Math.PI/2);

} else if (pos == Position.SOUTH) {

g2.translate(this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());

g2.rotate(Math.PI);

} else if (pos == Position.LEFT) {

g2.translate(0, this.getWidth());

g2.rotate(-Math.PI/2);

}

}

public void setPlayerOn(int player_number) {

labels[player_number].setIcon(icp[player_number]);

}

public void setPlayerOff(int player_number) {

if (pos == Position.NORTH || pos == Position.SOUTH)

labels[player_number].setIcon(ic);

if (pos == Position.LEFT || pos == Position.RIGHT)

labels[player_number].setIcon(ic2);

}

}

/**

* @param args

*/

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test test = new Test();

test.guiGen();

}

private void guiGen() {

JFrame main_frame = new JFrame("Test!");

main_frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

GUISpace sp = new GUISpace("Bastioni Gran Sasso", Position.SOUTH);

main_frame.add(sp);

main_frame.pack();

main_frame.setVisible(true);

}

}

Thanks for your help

The problem is that on those example there's no transform example on swing elements.

What I'd like to do is overriding the paintComponent() of JPanel, transforming the Graphics object passed as parameter, paint the component with the super.paintComponent() using the transformed Graphics object to make it look rotated and then clearing up the transformed Graphics object to it's original state .

The problem is that I feel like there's something wrong in this . I paint nothing by my self on the screen (calling some drawing method) , but I let do everything to the original drawing method of JPanel.

Also, if I reset the Graphics object the rotation doesn't happen, so I feel like the rotation of the object is made AFTER the exit from my overridden paintComponent method.

I'm confused :-(
