Creating images with a java

Hello) Help solve the problem: We need to create a green square image and display it.

I could draw a square, but I need to create it using java. Please help me to do this) That's what I tried to do:

import java.awt.Canvas;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Game extends Canvas {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private static final int WIDTH = 400;
    private static final int HEIGHT = 400;


    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);

        int w = 10;
        int h = 10;
        int type = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB;

        BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(w, h, type);

        int color = 257; // RGBA value, each component in a byte

        for (int x = 1; x < w; x++) {
            for (int y = 1; y < h; y++) {
                image.setRGB(x, y, color);

                g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame();

        frame.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
        frame.add(new Game());

        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

But nothing is displayed (

Let me remind the goal - to create a picture in the form of green squares, help to make it)

if you want to create an Image with rectangle containing it, first create the image, draw on it using it's graphics. I am writing code snippets for you:

BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.blue);
g.fillRect(0, 0, image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());

This will produce an image with Blue rectangle.

The simplest approach would be to simply use the graphics API...

@Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
    super.paint(g);

    int w = 10;
    int h = 10;
    g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    g.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
}

But something tells me this isn't what you want, but it does form the basics for what you need to achieve your result.

Start by making image a instance field...

private BufferedImage image;

Then you need to create the image...

int type = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB;
image = new BufferedImage(w, h, type);
Graphics2D g2d = image.createGraphics();
g2d.setColor(Color.GREEN);
g2d.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
g2d.dispoe();

Then in you paint method, you need to draw the image...

g.drawImage(image, x, y, this);

Take a look at the 2D Graphics trail for mor details

You must use Graphics.drawRect() and Graphics.fillRect():
