Hi Dmitri, thanks for your example!
But you are right, I can't just repaint the area where my circle just was. When I understand your example right, you paint the image on the panel and then paint the filled circle on that panel over the image. So you have not touched the pixel-data of the image and you can restore the view on that image data by just telling the panel some coordinates where it should get the pixeldata of the image from. In my approach I have to draw the circle directly on the image in my memory an therefore destroy the original data at that location. I thought maybe it is possible to combine two images during painting from video memory on screen but I think this is not possible. Now, your suggestion with copying the area I'm going to destroy sounds good to me. What kind of methods can I use? I know the VolatileImage.getSnapshot() method, but there I can't say what part of the image should be copied. Additionally I would like some methods that copy that area directly in vram without using the frontside bus (<- yes, we do not even have AGP in our target system) because that would slow down the system again. Are there such methods available in java?
