I think what you're looking for is the KEY_INTERPOLATION
rendering hint. The default is nearest neighbor, which is fast
but doesn't look so great. Set it to bilinear interpolation before
you call drawImage(), like this:
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC);
The form of drawImage() you're using is fine. I
think, in Java 2, it's probably just a shortcut for
the drawImage() that takes an AffineTransform anyway.
I hope this helps.
Jonathan
