hello,

I am new to this board :). I am a Computer Science student...I was wondering how to implement a selection tool (a la Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro) within a java application.

So in an image, you could drag over a region, and it'd create an outline (your selection) of the region:

...so any info of how to generate the selection outline over an image?

...also one step beyond that would be how to pick off the x1, x2, y1, y2 from sed rectangular (or whatever) region....rectangles being my first choice for the area selection tool.

thnx a bunch!

Hai,

Just use paint method to draw an Image(drawImage(img,x,z,obs))
and create a logic in ur paint method to draw a rect using mouselistener and mousemotionlistener
Like starting point(x1,y1) at mousepressed and ending point(x2,y2) at mouse released, it must be like
g.setColor(Color.red);
Rectangle selectionRect=new Rectangle(x1,y1,x2-x1,y2-y1);
g.drawRect(selectionRect);

Then use cropImage method to crop image of the about rectangle

ImageFilter filter=new CropImageFilter(selectionRect);
Image cropimg=createImage(new FilteredImageSource(img.getSource(),filter));


this is just a guide,

if u have doubts can contact me at david_cor@rediffmail.com

regards,
David
