Re: Graphics and JVMs

I'm not clear what you want to do with your message. It is very easy
however to scale the box drawings. Assume a standard size, in this case
400x300, and transform your Graphics component accordingly.

Yes I used the same setup to transform my graphics objects but like I
said I only want to scale the drawing in my panel but not the message
e.g. the boxes will be twice in size after scaling but the message
character size remains.
From the help I got from here, I arrived to this and this is what I
wanted. I find that if I use double buffer method I will lose the
message box transparency. This is probably caused by drawImage(...)
