Question

I created a bufferedimage which i applied to a Rectangle to use as filling pattern to shape S. If i change S’s position, the filling pattern changes with it instead of remaining “fixed”. What could it be?

Image: (the pattern is a 3 stripes, all with the same aspect ratio) :alt text http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8524/imageby.png

    if (bannerPatternCreated == false) {

        banner = new BufferedImage(size * 3, size * 3, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        Graphics2D gc = banner.createGraphics();


        System.out.println("Creating banner...");

        gc.setColor(Color.black);
        gc.fillRect(0, 0, size, size * 3);

        gc.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        gc.fillRect(size, 0, size, size * 3);

        gc.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        gc.fillRect(size * 2, 0, size, size * 3);
        gc.dispose();
        bannerPatternCreated = true;

    }

    Rectangle patternPencil = new Rectangle(size, size);
    g2.setPaint(new TexturePaint(banner, patternPencil));

    Rectangle recto = new Rectangle(presentX-size, presentY-size, size, size);
    g2.fill(recto);

Answer 1

It looks like the texture position is fixed, and so when you move recto around you’re just getting a different view of the underlying infinitely-repeating texture.

If you change the patternPencil rect to be the same size/position as recto, I think it should get sorted:

Rectangle patternPencil = new Rectangle(presentX-size, presentY-size, size, size);
