Saving 2 pictures drawn on a JPanel as one

Posted by Manpreet Minhas on January 04, 2002 at 12:40 AM

Hi,

I have a JPanel with 2 pictues drawn on it and the background color set as blue.I want to save it as one including the Background. Any idea how to do this.

i tried the following code but it didn't help

Rectangle rec = panel.getBounds();
// where panel is the JPanel on which the pictures are drawn and
// background color set to blue
Image img = rec.createImage(rec.width,rec.height);
// and i try saving the above image object but it saves a blank panel with no background color.

Help required as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance
Manpreet
