Daryl, This is a response to your message on the developers forum (copied at the end of the message). What's there looks good, and gives ideas for modifications: - the buttons are actually on top of the picture, which I think is rarely going to be what people want; better would be to have the buttons in a separate panel - some buttons are user-created, and some are built-in; I suggest that we make a serious easy-to-user built-in buttons such as "save", "load", and "close" that work in such a way that the user does not need to anything about JButtons or listeners; the user-created buttons require that the user need to know a little more, but it might be possible to further simplify the addition of user-created buttons Toby By: Daryl Van Humbeck - raceimaztion RE: Adding buttons extension 2005-04-25 09:51 **** UPDATE **** I've added support for a "save image" button. To enable it, just call enableSaveButton(). It automatically adds a button to the bottom of the window and adds an action listener to listen for mouse clicks. When clicked, it pops up a save dialog box that lets you choose where to save it and what to call it. It always adds it to the far left of the window, even if there are already buttons there. |

Thanks for your feed back, I was thinking the same thing about having a button bar someplace instead of having the buttons on top of the image, where they could obscure important information. To fix this and have a button bar inside the window would require a potentially major rewrite of the window-painting code (and potentially eliminate it altogether). Instead of drawing the image itself, it could pass the work off onto a JLabel object that shows an ImageIcon wrapped around the BufferedImage. Another option would be to have a JDialog hovering around the window someplace, where it could be moved easily. Just some thoughts. Let me know what you think when you have time. Daryl.

I would have thought that using a panel would be less drastic. Put the original BufferedImage in one panel region, and the buttons in another region. But I haven't looked into it carefully, so I you am not certain what all the issues are. I remember in the past I tried using a Jlabel or something like that for showing the images, but that was a mistake because BufferedImage is the best and most flexible way to deal with images in Java. The labels had some weird side-effects for small images, if I recall, and they weren't very efficient for image processing. But it's worth giving it a shot to see, if you want ... > Another option would be to have a JDialog hovering around the window > someplace, where it could be moved easily. > Just some thoughts. Too many windows can be annoying, especially if they get disconnected and you must move both. > Let me know what you think when you have time. > Daryl.
