I have a BufferedImage that I am drawing to.  All is good but when I call copyArea, the image gets corrupted.  It may be because there are multiple calls in a row (think window moves) for the copy and one copy doesn't finish before the next is called.  Does anyone know if this method is somehow threaded?  Is there a way to disable the threading if it is there?

Thanks in advance

And does that end up being quicker than using the WritableRaster that is supplied by the BufferedImage automatically?  I tried

and it ends up being much slower than the version I have now

I am writing an application that decodes image data from a network stream and then renders it.  I need two rendering modes, one for on screen rendering and one for image rendering to disk.  Because the data is often raw pixels, I am currently using the code below to allow access to the pixel data directly and then copy the changed pixels to the regular BufferedImage.  When the data stream has a line or rectangle encoded, I draw directly to the BufferedImage.  Is there a faster/smarter way to do this?  I have tried accessing the pixels stored in the DataBufferInt rather than using the pixel[] below and performance is horrendous.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

pixels = new int[width * height];
memImageSrc = new MemoryImageSource(width, height, colorModel, pixels, 0, width);
memImageSrc.setAnimated(true);
      
memImage = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
memGraphics = memImage.getGraphics();
pixelsSource =   new MemoryImageSource(width, height, colorModel, pixels, 0, width);
pixelsSource.setAnimated(true);
rawPixelsImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(pixelsSource);
