How to create image using Canvas without using imageitem and graphics.drawimage?

[kalki]

Hi,

I want to create an image( a Round Rectangle with text on it with specific font, round rectangle filled half with light color and half with dark color) using canvas but without using imageitem class or graphics.drawimage method.

Can you please give me code for this or any ideas on how to do this?

Have you looked at the methods of the Graphics class, for the various things you can draw in the Canvas's paint() method? There are methods for drawing rectangles, text, setting font and colour, etc.

There are two method by which you can do this.

1.You design and get ready the image using the photoshop as per your requirement of the Font, style and look and feel as a Round Rectangle with text on it with specific font, round rectangle filled half with light color and half with dark color...make sure that the extension is PNG
Put the image in res folder and then load the image using the Image class and Image.createImage()..and draw same on the canvas.

2.You do all the things by youself like the a Round Rectangle with text on it with specific font, round rectangle filled half with light color and half with dark color and then simple keep on painting on the canvas.

I hope these lines helps you.

use setColor(light color);
g.fillRoundRect();
setColor(drak color);
g.fillRoundRect();
setColor(text color);
g.drawString("text");

use setColor(light color);
g.fillRoundRect();
setColor(drak color);
g.fillRoundRect();
setColor(text color);
g.drawString("text");

As Ekta said earlier, Once you have done with the graphics in your canvas. You can create image using. It will create an mutable image for you..

Image image = Image.createImage(getHeight(), getHeight());
Graphics g = image .getGraphics();
paint(g);

If you want to draw all this rectangle etc on a Image, you first need to create an Image, then fetch the graphics context from it and then draw on it using this graphics context as under:

Image image = Image.createImage(getHeight(), getHeight()); 
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
setColor(light color);
g.fillRoundRect();
setColor(drak color);
g.fillRoundRect();
setColor(text color);
g.drawString("text");
