The GraphicsConfiguration
class describes the
characteristics of a graphics destination such as a printer or monitor.
There can be many GraphicsConfiguration
objects associated
with a single graphics device, representing different drawing modes or
capabilities. The corresponding native structure will vary from platform
to platform. For example, on X11 windowing systems,
each visual is a different GraphicsConfiguration
.
On Microsoft Windows, GraphicsConfiguration
s represent
PixelFormats available in the current resolution and color depth.
In a virtual device multi-screen environment in which the desktop
area could span multiple physical screen devices, the bounds of the
GraphicsConfiguration
objects are relative to the
virtual coordinate system. When setting the location of a
component, use getBounds
to get the bounds of
the desired GraphicsConfiguration
and offset the location
with the coordinates of the GraphicsConfiguration
,
as the following code sample illustrates:
Frame f = new Frame(gc); // where gc is a GraphicsConfiguration Rectangle bounds = gc.getBounds(); f.setLocation(10 + bounds.x, 10 + bounds.y);
To determine if your environment is a virtual device
environment, call getBounds
on all of the
GraphicsConfiguration
objects in your system. If
any of the origins of the returned bounds is not (0, 0),
your environment is a virtual device environment.
You can also use getBounds
to determine the bounds
of the virtual device. To do this, first call getBounds
on all
of the GraphicsConfiguration
objects in your
system. Then calculate the union of all of the bounds returned
from the calls to getBounds
. The union is the
bounds of the virtual device. The following code sample
calculates the bounds of the virtual device.
Rectangle virtualBounds = new Rectangle(); GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment. getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(); GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices(); for (int j = 0; j < gs.length; j++) { GraphicsDevice gd = gs[j]; GraphicsConfiguration[] gc = gd.getConfigurations(); for (int i=0; i < gc.length; i++) { virtualBounds = virtualBounds.union(gc[i].getBounds()); } }

This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated directly. Instances must be obtained from a suitable factory or query method.
Returns a BufferedImage
with a data layout and color model
compatible with this GraphicsConfiguration
. This
method has nothing to do with memory-mapping
a device. The returned BufferedImage
has
a layout and color model that is closest to this native device
configuration and can therefore be optimally blitted to this
device.

Returns the default AffineTransform
for this
GraphicsConfiguration
. This
AffineTransform
is typically the Identity transform
for most normal screens. The default AffineTransform
maps coordinates onto the device such that 72 user space
coordinate units measure approximately 1 inch in device
space. The normalizing transform can be used to make
this mapping more exact. Coordinates in the coordinate space
defined by the default AffineTransform
for screen and
printer devices have the origin in the upper left-hand corner of
the target region of the device, with X coordinates
increasing to the right and Y coordinates increasing downwards.
For image buffers not associated with a device, such as those not
created by createCompatibleImage
,
this AffineTransform
is the Identity transform.

Returns a AffineTransform

For a particular Graphics2D
, g, one
can reset the transformation to create
such a mapping by using the following pseudocode:
GraphicsConfiguration gc = g.getDeviceConfiguration(); g.setTransform(gc.getDefaultTransform()); g.transform(gc.getNormalizingTransform());Note that sometimes this
AffineTransform
is identity,
such as for printers or metafile output, and that this
AffineTransform
is only as accurate as the information
supplied by the underlying system. For image buffers not
associated with a device, such as those not created by
createCompatibleImage
, this
AffineTransform
is the Identity transform
since there is no valid distance measurement.AffineTransform
