How to display graphics larger than canvas size?
How do I display graphics larger than canvas size in Java AWT?
I tried setting the canvas size() to a value larger than my monitor size, and then adding scroll bars to the canvas, but the scroll bars and the canvas won't go beyond the monitor size in pixels, which is only 800, so the large graphic I try to display gets cut off at the bottom.
How can I overcome this problem? Has anybody encounter a similar dilemma before?
