Java在JPanel中自由绘图，并将绘图保存为jpg文件

在JPanel中绘图，并利用ImageIO将JPanel保存为图片时，往往只保存一个空白的JPanel，用户所绘制的图形往往不能正确保存，查了很多资料说是要调用paintComponent方法而不是paint方法，但是这里强调的事自由绘图，而不是画好图然后呈现出来。

下面一小段程序是将一个Jpanel保存为图片的正常思路，但在自由绘图时，这个程序只保存一个空白的JPanel。

public boolean savePanelAsJpg(File file, DrawPanel panel) {
    Dimension imageSize = panel.getSize();
    BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(imageSize.width,imageSize.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    Graphics2D graphics = image.createGraphics();
    panel.paint(graphics);
    graphics.dispose();
    try {
        ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", file);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

要想将用户的自由绘图保存，换一种思路也许很简单，抓屏，没错，Java的一个类Robot提供了抓屏的功能，使用Robot抓屏时可以抓取指定的矩形区域，也可以抓取一个控件，当然是提供控件的坐标位置和大小。下面是Robot的使用方法，直接返回一个BufferedImage对象。

//可以指定要抓取的区域
BufferedImage screencapture = new Robot().createScreenCapture(
	new Rectangle( 15, 15, 150, 150));
		
//可以抓取指定控件：
BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture( 
	new Rectangle( jFrame.getX(), jFrame.getY(), jFrame.getWidth(), jFrame.getHeight() ) );

下面是一个使用Jpanel绘图并保存为jpg文件的完整例子。
