Why is the image saved so small?

Here is my code.

    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Graphics2D;
    import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

        int width = 400, height = 400;
        Test plot = new Test();

        BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

        Graphics2D g2d = bi.createGraphics();
        g2d.setPaint(Color.red);


        g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0,0,0,50));
        g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0,50,50,50));
        g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(50,50,50,0));
        g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(50,0,0,0));


        ImageIO.write(bi, "PNG", new File("d:\\sample.PNG"));
    }
}

enter image description here

You can see the output image above.

Now, Since the square looks very small(I tried varying the width and height), I need to scale this up programmatically. (As I need to show the path traveled by the robot). How can I do it? Please help.

Please note that shape is more important here not the dimension.

I dont know if I get the question right, but

    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0,0,0,50));
    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0,50,50,50));
    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(50,50,50,0));
    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(50,0,0,0));

gives a 50x50 pixels rectangle since you have not defined any transformations. Try something like

    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0,0,0,150));
    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(0,150,150,150));
    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(150,150,150,0));
    g2d.draw(new Line2D.Double(150,0,0,0));

which renders a larger rectangle.

Alternatively, you can also define a scaling transformation like

    g2d.scale(3.0, 3.0);

Note that this also scales the line width, so that the result is not completely the same as using different coordinates in the Line2D.Double() calls.

See also http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics2D.html for more information on coordinate systems and the Graphics2D rendering process.
