Question

I’m working on a Java version of MS Paint. You can see what it looks like so far here. (images are far too tall and many to embed in a question)

It uses a JScrollPane to move a subclass of Canvas around. If you don’t resize the Window, it operates just fine. If you make the window smaller, at first glance it appears to work just the same.

However, if you scroll around, it becomes apparent that the application is rendering the same “viewport”, just moved. If you keep scrolling, it becomes more obvious that it overlaps everything else.

So basically, it’s rendering the wrong viewport. Resizing the window updates the viewport to be correct. If you try to draw on a grey area, it draws it just fine, you just can’t see it.

I’ve tried doing repaint() on the canvas any time the scrollbars are moved. It didn’t change anything.

What should I do to fix this?

This is the code for the frame: (argument img is the image it will paint on. You have to do setVisible(true) yourself as well)

        //Trial and error got me these numbers.

        setSize(img.getWidth()+20-1, img.getHeight()+50+50+2);

class JCanvas extends Canvas { 

Don’t mix Swing with AWT components without good cause. Extend a JComponent instead.
