Preface

This module is one of a series of modules designed to teach you about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using Java.

The program described in this module requires the use of the Guzdial-Ericson multimedia class library. You will find download, installation, and usageinstructions for the library at Java OOP: The Guzdial-Ericson Multimedia Class Library .

Preview

In this module, you will learn how to scale images and how to rotate and translate images using the AffineTransform class.

Program specifications

Write a program named Prob01 that uses the class definition shown in Listing 1 and Ericson's media library along with the image file named Prob01.jpg (see Figure 1 ) to produce the output images shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

Figure 1 - Input file named Prob01.jpg.

Image of a beach scene.

Figure 2 - First output image.

Image of the beach scene in a PictureExplorer object.

Figure 3 - Second output image.

Scaled and rotated version of the beach scene.

Scale and rotate

The image from the file named Prob01.jpg must be scaled and then rotated 30 degrees clockwise. A scale factor of 0.95 must be applied to thehorizontal and a scale factor of 0.9 must be applied to the vertical.

New classes

You may define new classes as necessary to cause your program to behave as required, but you may not modify the class definition for the class named Prob01 shown in Listing 1 .

Required output text

In addition to the two output images mentioned above, your program must display your name and the other line of text shown in Figure 4 on the command-line screen.

Figure 4 - Required output text.
Display your name here. Picture, filename None height 360 width 394

General background information

Writing the code from scratch to rotate an image can be a daunting task. However, the task is made much easier through the use of the standard AffineTransform class, which is included in the standard Java library.
