Question

What’s the easy way to render a shape in Java to its ‘actual size’. For example, I have a tube with a diameter of 1′ and I want to depict it on screen as the outline of a 1′ circle. The Graphics2D method drawOval(int x, int y, int width, int height) takes a height and width in pixels. What are the steps to translate a pixel size into the size rendered on screen?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The getNormalizingTransform() method of the class GraphicsConfiguration looks like it has some potential
