Solved: Thanks @MadProgrammer
I replaced g2.rotate(Math.toRadians(180.0));
by g2.scale(1, -1);
thanks^^
I wrote program to show Digital Clock with mirror (Vertical Flip)
This is my code
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.font.GlyphVector;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DigitalClock extends JFrame implements Runnable {
/**
* @author HASSAN
*/
Thread runner; // declare global objects
Font clockFont;
Shape mirror;
public DigitalClock() {
super("Digital Clock - Hassan Sharaf 12MCMB33");
setSize(600, 500);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
setResizable(false); // create window
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
clockFont = new Font("digifacewide", Font.BOLD, 100); // create font
Container contentArea = getContentPane();
ClockPanel timeDisplay = new ClockPanel();
contentArea.add(timeDisplay); // add components
setContentPane(contentArea);
start(); // start thread running
}
public class ClockPanel extends JPanel {
public void paintComponent(Graphics painter) {
// super.paintComponent(painter);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) painter;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.setFont(clockFont); // create clock components
g2.setColor(Color.black);
g2.drawString(timeNow(), 20, 140);
GlyphVector v = clockFont.createGlyphVector(getFontMetrics(clockFont).getFontRenderContext(), timeNow());
mirror = v.getOutline();
g2.translate(553, 160);
g2.rotate(Math.toRadians(180.0));
g2.fill(mirror);
g2.draw(mirror);
}
}
// get current time
public String timeNow() {
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
int hrs = now.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int min = now.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int sec = now.get(Calendar.SECOND);
String time = zero(hrs) + ":" + zero(min) + ":" + zero(sec);
return time;
}
public String zero(int num) {
String number = (num < 10) ? ("0" + num) : ("" + num);
return number; // Add leading zero if needed
}
public void start() {
if (runner == null) {
runner = new Thread(this);
}
runner.start();
// method to start thread
}
public void run() {
while (runner == Thread.currentThread()) {
repaint();
// define thread task
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
System.out.println("Thread failed");
}
}
}
// create main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
DigitalClock clock = new DigitalClock();
}
}
Problem: I used rotate() method, but actually I don't want rotate the clock I want flip it vertically Question: How can I flip the shape (not image)?
