How to create a buffered image and how does it help?
Please help me with the code .....

Thanks & regards,

[Rob Spoor]

int width = 800;
int height = 600;
int type = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB;
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(width, height, type);
Graphics2D graphics = image.createGraphics();
// use graphics to draw on

You can change the type to one of the other constants in the BufferedImage class, like TYPE_4BYTE_ABGR, if that is more appropriate for you, but if you're just starting this will do.

Hello "sumukha"-

On your way in you may have missed that we have a policy on screen names here at JavaRanch. Basically, it must consist of a first name, a space, and a last name, and not be obviously fictitious. Since yours does not conform with it, please take a moment to change it, which you can do right here.

As to your question, the code shown above creates an instance of BufferedImage, so I'm not sure what else you're looking for. You can draw rectangles on it using the Graphics.drawRect method.
