Hi!
I'm trying to do a fade in/out effect between two images using the following code:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
| public void render(Graphics g, Image imageFrom, Image imageTo, int width, int height) {
Image buffer=gc.createCompatibleVolatileImage(width,height);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)buffer.getGraphics();
int counter=0;
while (counter<90) {
counter=counter+2;
double alphaScalar = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(counter));
g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.SrcOver);
g2.drawImage(imageFrom, 0, 0, null);
g2.setComposite(AlphaComposite.getInstance(AlphaComposite.SRC_OVER, (float)alphaScalar));
g2.drawImage(imageTo, 0, 0, null);
g.drawImage(buffer, 0, 0, null);
try {
Thread.sleep(1);
}
catch(InterruptedException ex){}
}
g.dispose();
g2.dispose();
buffer.flush();
} |
The problem is that it's too slow and jerky. I need a smoother transition.
Before you ask me, I've put a "Thread.sleep(1)" line to allow another thread playing a background music to breath.
Thanks in advance
