I am trying to draw a rectangle in JPanel that would translate and then rotate itself to mimic the movement of a car. I have been able to make the rectangle translate and rotate, however it rotates around the origin of (0,0). I'm very pleased that I was able to have the rectangle move and rotate as I am very new to Java GUI, but I can not seem to get how to have the rectangle rotate around itself, because I experimented more with it, and when I initialized the rectangle and rotate it 45 degrees it's position was changed, which I would assume is the transform matrix that is appended from the rotate method.
I checked through the site on how would I solve this, however I only found how to rotate a rectangle and not on how to rotate and move like the movement of a simulated car. I would presume it is concerning about its transform matrix, but I'm only speculating. So my question is how would I be able to have the rectangle be able to rotate and move around itself and not against a point in JPanel.
Here's the code that I have come up so far:
public class Draw extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
private int x = 100;
private int y = 100;
private double theta = Math.PI;
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(x,y,25,25);
Timer timer = new Timer(25,this);
Draw(){
setBackground(Color.black);
timer.start();
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.setColor(Color.white);
rec.x = 100;
rec.y = 100;
g2d.rotate(theta);
g2d.draw(rec);
g2d.fill(rec);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
x = (int) (x + (Math.cos(theta))*1);
y = (int) (y + (Math.sin(theta))*1);
theta = theta - (5*Math.PI/180);
repaint();
}
解决方案
One of two approaches are commonly used:
Rotate the graphics context around the center (x, y) of the Shape, as shown here.
rotate(double theta, double x, double y)
Translate to the origin, rotate and translate back, as shown here.
g2d.translate(this.getWidth() / 2, this.getHeight() / 2);
g2d.rotate(theta);
g2d.translate(-image.getWidth(null) / 2, -image.getHeight(null) / 2);
Note the apparent reverse order of concatenation in the second example.
Addendum: Looking more closely at your example, the following change rotates the Rectangle around the panel's center.
g2d.rotate(theta, getWidth() / 2, getHeight() / 2);
Also, use the @Override annotation, and give your panel a reasonable preferred size:
@Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(640, 480);
}
