Hi frnds!!!!!! Am trying to crop an image using java.. If I draw a rectangle on the image it ll crop the image in the given level.. My code does it but the fact is, it is not cropping the actual part which we selected..This is my code..

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

it is not cropping the actual part which we selected.

Is it a problem mapping the selection coordinates to the image's coordinates?
Do you need to consider the image's location on the screen to find the coordinates within the image?

Print out the coordinates for the mouse and for the cropping and the location of the image to see how they are related.


Your code does NOT compile and when the errors are fixed it gets a NullPointerException

Please fix the code so it compiles and executes without errors.

hi buddy!!! This code will work perfectly!! Its showing null exception because you does not have that image in your system frnd!! jus try with other images.. I loaded the image in the line30..It does not getting the coordinates perfectly.. Thats wat my question is frnd!!

I changed the image reference to one of my images.
Where is the variable cords given a value? I get a NPE when this statement is executed:

this.cords.setText( "w = " + this.w + ", h = " + this.h );

The posted code is full of variables that have NOT be initialized!!!

hi frnd!!! Sorryy I posted the old and wrong code unfortunately.. I completed that and here is my code.. I got some doubt why we are minus the y-coordinate in the line 52 to get the correctly cropped image... I am cleared now ... thank you buddy..
