ok when i run this code in an applet it works fine, but as a fram outside an applet i get a null pointer exception...wut is it that i dont know?
Image offscreen;
offscreen = this.creatImage(800, 600);
Graphics g = offscreen.getGraphics();<== here is my null pointer exception
the only difference is one "extends Applet" and the other "extends Frame" the description of the methods are identical. thnx
> wow such a simple solution for all that
> struggle...thanks a bunch
:-) It's all in the Javadoc:
/**
* Creates an off-screen drawable image
*to be used for double buffering.
* @paramwidth the specified width
* @paramheight the specified height
* @returnan off-screen drawable image, which can be used for double
*buffering. The return value may be <code>null</code> if the
*component is not displayable. This will always happen if
*<code>GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()</code> returns
*<code>true</code>.
* @see #isDisplayable
* @see GraphicsEnvironment#isHeadless
* @sinceJDK1.0
