Saving Graphics in eclipse

[Hanna Roberts]

Does anyone know how could I save the graphics programs output as a jpg using eclipse software or if its possible?

Hanna,

Yes, it is not only possible, but very doable as well.  I'll make the assumption that your programming in Java.  Just make a BufferedImage and save your work to it, then save the image using ImageIO.  It's a pretty easy process.

If you want an example, you can try this code

 @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        Frame frame = (Frame) App.getInstance().getInstanceObject(IFrameApp.class);
        PanelPresentation presentation = (PanelPresentation) App.getInstance().getInstanceObject(IPresentationPanel.class);

        JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();


        if(JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION == fileChooser.showSaveDialog(frame)){
            String path = fileChooser.getSelectedFile() + ".png";

            int w = presentation.getWidth();
            int h = presentation.getHeight();
            BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            Graphics2D g = bi.createGraphics();
            presentation.paint(g);
            g.dispose();

            File outputfile = new File(path);
            try {
                ImageIO.write(bi, "png", outputfile);
                //MaterialTost.makeText(frame,"Image stored :)", MaterialTost.SUCCESS).display();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                LOGGER.error(ex.getMessage());
                frame.doShowMessage(MessageLevelError.ERROR, ex.getMessage());
            }
        }

    }
