Question

I’m trying to take an image and store it in an array of 16×16 subimages. The image I am using is 512×512 pixels. However, while iterating through the loop, getSubimage() is stopped by a Raster exception.

Here is the code:

public class TileList extends JPanel {

  private static final int width = 16;          //width of a tile
  private static final int height = width;
  private int col = 1;
  private int row = 1;

  private BufferedImage image;
  File tilesetImage = new File("image.png");
  BufferedImage tileset[];

  public void loadAndSplitImage (File loadImage) {
    try{
        image = ImageIO.read(loadImage);
    }catch(Exception error) {
        System.out.println("Error: cannot read tileset image.");
    }// end try/catch
    col = image.getWidth()/width;
    row = image.getHeight()/height;
    tileset = new BufferedImage[col*row];
  }// end loadAndSplitImage

  public TileList() {
    loadAndSplitImage(tilesetImage);
    setLayout(new GridLayout(row,col,1,1));
    setBackground(Color.black);

    int x=0;
    int y=0;
    int q=0;                                    //keeps track of tile #
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {

        for (int j = 0; j < col; j++) {
            JPanel panel = new JPanel();
            tileset[q] = new BufferedImage(width, height, image.getType());
            tileset[q] = image.getSubimage(x,y,x + width,y + height);
            panel.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(tileset[q])));
            add(panel);
            x += width;
            q++;
        }// end for loop
        y += height;
        x = 0;
    }// end for loop
  }// end constructor
}// end class

This is the error:

Answer 1

You’re passing the wrong parameters to getSubimage. The docs say…

Parameters:
x – the X coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular region
y – the Y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the specified rectangular region
w – the width of the specified rectangular region
h – the height of the specified rectangular region

You’re passing in x, y, x + width, y + width, which would mean if x = 256, width actually equals 256 + 16 = 272.

So your new image would be … x + width = 256 + 272 = 528, which is wider then your image area.

You should be passing x, y, width, heigh

tileset[q] = image.getSubimage(x, y, width, height);
