Hi Jim, Thanks very much for the info.
While I can understand the second tip, the first tip doesn't seem to yield exactly what I am after so perhaps my explanation was poor. I want to draw a rectangle at say (100, 100) with no transforms applied and then draw it again with a scale factor of (2, 2) for example but have it so that both rectangles share the same central point (100, 100). Think of concentric circles only with rectangles. Your example (at least the way I tried it) seems to align the two rectangles so that the point (100, 100) sits on one of the corners of each rectangle so that they are around the point but do not have it at their center. Does this make sense? -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me] [Message sent by forum member 'qu0ll' (qu0ll)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=297979 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
