在Java中调用repaint（）时如何避免闪烁？

Question

I have looked at many answers to questions similar to this, but they all seem to say to draw onto a JPanel, which I am doing, so I don't understand how to make my rectangle not flicker.

I am making a Screenshot maker, like the CMD+SHIFT+4 feature on macs. I have everything working, ie it takes pictures when you drag a rectangle, but the rectangle that you select flickers the whole time.

Painting in Swing is typically done from within the context of the paintComponent method inherited from JComponent . This ensures that when a paint cycle occurs, what is painted is double buffered, which will prevent flickering during the paint process.

Painting in Swing is control by the RepaintManager , it is it's responsiblility to determine when and what should be painted. You can make requests to the RepaintManager to perform a paint update by calling one of the repaint methods and it may schedule an update for some time in the future

Using...

Graphics g = ((JComponent) source).getGraphics();

Is a really bad idea. It has the ability to return null and is nothing more then a snapshot of the Graphics context and will wiped clean when a proper paint cycle occurs.

Take a look at Performing custom painting and Painting in AWT and Swing for more details

This...

while (true) {
    currentPoint = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation();
    if (currentPoint != startPoint && clicked) {
        drawRectangle(startPoint, currentPoint, picture1);
    }
//System.out.println(currentPoint);
    //delay(1);
}

scares me, for two reason, first, it's not the recommended way to monitor mouse updates and two, are calling it within the same context you create your UI, which gives it the potential to "hang" your program

I'd also recommend that you take a look at the key bindings API over the use of KeyListener s, it will solve focus related issues...

You may also find Concurrency in Swing of assistance...
