one place where i can find one of these is in the paint component method of a jpanel. but i am trying to draw into an offscreen image using an affine transform and will paint the offscreen image into the panel later. so it's sort of a chicken and egg problem.
could one make a very small jpanel and clone it's graphics context, then throw away the small jpanel and dispose of the context? sounds like an ugly hack. has anyone tried something like this?
is there some way to hook up an affine transform as an image producer?
the reason that i am trying to get away from buffered images is that most of the images will be black and white tiff line drawings. so setting the color model to int-rgb is a memory hog. but i do not know of any way to examine the image to determine what a good color model would be (it will be downloaded from an url).
thanks
