RE: [iText-questions] PdfGraphics2D Layer Problem

[Bill Ensley]

I believe I may have solved this one:   It looks like the JTextPane assumes text should be on top of everything else and makes a copy of the graphics object and paints it last.   I dug into the code and found where it passes that new graphics object to the StyledDocument to paint itself to and started there instead:   Rectangle alloc = getVisibleEditorRect(); t.getUI().getRootView(ta).paint(g2, alloc);   This bypasses the Swing RepaintManager and passes the graphics directly to the StyledDocument to paint.   If anyone sees something else that perhaps would work better, please let me know.   Bill Ensley Bear Printing -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Bill Ensley Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 11:36 AM To: iText Mail Group Subject: [iText-questions] PdfGraphics2D Layer Problem Hello All!   Interesting bug? here, I am using a JTextPane for styled text and am calling it's paint() method and passing a Graphics object to it to paint itself onto.   This works well with other Graphics objects, ie Screen, BufferedImage, Print, etc.   But when I pass it a PdfGraphics2D object it always wants to be painted on the top.   ie:   JTextPane t = new JTextPane(); t.setText("hello world - hello world "); t.setSize(300,300); t.setLocation(75,75); t.setVisible(true); t.setOpaque(false); t.paint(g2);   g2.setColor(Color.GREEN); g2.fillRect(50,0,25,25);   This code will paint the JTextPane on top of the rectangle.   If anybody has any bright ideas, I would be greatful.   Bill Ensley Bear Printing
