Drawing a line on a BufferedImage

I'm trying to draw a line on a BufferedImage. The start point of the line is where the mouse is clicked and the end point is where the mouse is released. I want the line to be displayed as the mouse is dragging.

Is there a way to do this without repainting the image every time the mouse moves while dragging? The image is big and repainting is slow.

Use the repaint(...) method where you can specify the rectangle you want to repaint.

Thanks, that will help but when the line gets long I will still be repainting most of the image. Is there any way to avoid this?

Use xor mode.See my example here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5180039&tstart=60When using xor the second time you paint the same pixel it returns to its original value.
