If your drawing is an image you can override the paintComponent of the panel and draw the image as the background. For this to be visible you will have to make all the components (tree, viewport, scrollpane etc) which go into this panel, transperant.

How do you create the drawing? Have you overridden the paint or paintComponent from the same panel that you are adding the tree to?

If so, try putting that drawing code in a different panel, and add that panel to the first panel using BorderLayout.CENTER.

I don't want to do it in that way because i want to add scrollBars to it, that either the drawing area and the tree scroll simultaneously..

Then you have to calculate the width of the tree, and only start painting at that border. Instead of starting at x = 0, you start at x = tree.getX() + tree.getWidth().

In the code where you paint your drawing.

I still don't understand why this has to be done all in the same panel...

it would be a lot simpler to just make the component that is painting one component, add it to the BorderLayout.CENTER of a panel, add the tree to the BorderLayout.WEST/EAST whatever, and then add this panel to a JScrollpane. Then they would both scroll together, and you wouldn't have to do all this wacky stuff to try to get around the layout managers.



Alternatively, if you want the tree and drawing to scroll separately, add the tree to a scrollpane, add the drawing to another scrollpane, and add the scrollpane containing the drawing to BorderLayout.CENTER of the panel, and add the scrollpane containing the tree to to BorderLayout.WEST/EAST.

Its throwing NullPointException at: rightPanel.add(tree,BorderLayout.WEST);

I drawn inside the paintComponent method..How can i add this to the east of my borderlayout?



As above - separate this into parent and child panels - have the child panel provide the drawing (paintComponent), and have the parent panel provide the layout.


I want to add both tree and drawing to the same panel,because when i expand my tree the drawing against to the child should show...



That would normally be done using TreeSelectionListener - you could make your drawing component implement TreeSelectionListener, add it as a listener to the tree, and react to the tree expansion events by determining what child node needs to be repainted and repainting the drawing component.


Its throwing NullPointException at: rightPanel.add(tree,BorderLayout.WEST);



I don't see the "tree" variable being initialized anywhere in the code provided.

Here's an example of how to pull this all together -


(Edit - changed TreeExpansionListener to TreeSelectionListener in explanation. Posted example code.)

Sounds like a "TreeTable" - there's an example of how to create a TreeTable yourself on Sun Developer Network. The JDesktop project also provides a JTreeTable implementation.

I've changed my previous example slightly - I've added a JScrollPane at the top level, and also taken the y location of the selected child into account in the "Drawing" component.

In the public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent e) method of TreeSelectionListener, you can call e.isAddedPath() to determine if the event is a selection or deselection event. You can get the parent node from the TreePath using path.getParentPath().

It sounds like you need to do a lot more processing on this than just the location of the original child. Instead of just the Y location of the selected child, you'll need to use the TreePath of the currently selcted child to get:
  • that child's parent node;
  • all the children nodes of that parent.

  • Then, make TreePaths of all these nodes to get their coordinates to draw the line/rectangle as you need to.

    It's tree.putClientProperty("JTree.lineStyle", "Horizontal"); (no parentheses after the "JTree" property)

    And this changes how the lines that connect nodes are drawn within the tree - I thought that you wanted to draw lines on the "Drawing" panel?

    how to draw at each node





    If you want to draw *in* the tree node, you'd need to create a TreeCellRenderer.

    If you want to draw *in* the DrawingPanel at the location of a node, you'll need to get the TreePath to that node, call tree.getPathBounds(path) to get the bounding rectangle of that path - that will get you coordinates for that node you can use to draw in the DrawingPanel. If you have a TreePath of one node, you can get the TreePath of it's parent node by calling path.getParentPath(). If you're using a DefaultTreeModel, you can call path.getLastPathComponent() and cast the result to a TreeNode. You can then call node.children() to get an Enumeration of all the children. You can create a new TreePath to each child by using the parent TreePath and creating a new TreePath with the parent path and the child node - TreePath childPath = new TreePath(parentPath, childNode).
