Converting Graphics to Image

[Deepan Devadasan]

Hi folks...

I have to add an Image to the Form...
Since the application should run on any phone with varying screen sizes, i want to add a background color to the image that is present...

Meaning i will create an image specifying the RGB using the display's width and height..

Then i am taking the Graphics from this image and draw my Image on the Graphics...

Up to this point there is no problem so far...

But now i dont have a way to convert the Graphics back to Image object so that it can be placed on the Form..


Can anyone give me some idea as to i could establish this..

Thanks in advance

I sounds like you have already solved the problem. When you create a new image and call getGraphics(), the graphics object returned is directly related to the image and can be used to draw to the image.

If I understand the questions correctly, you code looks something like:

Image originalImage = ...;
 
Image image1 = Image.createImage(w,h);
Graphics graphics1 = image1.getGraphics();
graphics1.setColor(bgColor);
graphics1.fillRect(...);
graphics1.drawImage(originalImage,...);
 
form.append(image1);

If so, you have done everything correctly a should see the desired output. Let me know if I have missed something.
