Drawing/warping a rectangular image into a quadrilateral image



I need to draw a BufferedImage within a given quadrilateral. I want to do that:





enter image description here





I would like the cat to be deformed to be drawn within the quadrilateral.





Graphics objects have different methods to draw images, but only to stretch them along the X and Y axis (See Graphics.drawImage methods).





What I am dreaming of is a method Graphics.drawImage() where I specify the coordinates of the 4 quadrilateral points. Is there an easy way to do that?

  1. I don't know of any easy way to do this with the standard java packages. You could of course implement your own Bilinear or Perspective transform for four corner image warping, but who wants to do all that work.

    I think your best bet is to look into the Java Advanced Imaging API (javax.media.JAI). Here is an article that talks about perspective transforms with JAI: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/forDevelopers/jai1_0_1guide-unc/Geom-image-manip.doc.html#55959

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
