Call the copyPictureWithCrop method again

Listing 9 begins by calling the copyPictureWithCrop method again. This time, however, the picture shown in Figure 5 is passed as the source image with the same picture as before being passed as thedestination image.

The offset coordinates

In this case, the offset coordinate values specify the upper-left corner of the right-most butterfly image in Figure 3 .

The cropping parameters

The final four parameters that are passed in Listing 9 specify that the entire source picture is to be copied into the destinationpicture.

Display the destination picture

When the copyPictureWithCrop method returns, Listing 9 calls the explore method to display the current state of the destination picture. The result is shown in Figure 3 .

A new array object

Finally, Listing 9 instantiates a new array object, populates it with references to three Picture objects, and returns control to the main method code in Listing 1 returning a reference to the array object in the process.

The code in Listing 1 saves the reference to the array object in the variable named pictures .

Pass Picture object references to println method

Then Listing 1 extracts and passes each of the three Picture object references to the println method causing the last three lines of text shown in Figure 4 to be displayed on the command-line screen.

The second line of output text ( picA ) describes the raw butterfly image shown in Figure 1 .

The third line of output text for ( picB ) describes the beach scene shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 .

The last line of output text ( picC ) describes the cropped and flipped version of the butterfly image shown in Figure 5 .

Run the program

I encourage you to copy the code from Listing 10 . Compile the code and execute it. Experiment with the code, making changes, andobserving the results of your changes. Make certain that you can explain why your changes behave as they do.

Summary

In this module, you learned how to:

  • Work directly with individual pixels and keep track of coordinate values.
  • Copy a portion of one picture into a specific location in another picture.
  • Crop and flip a picture.

What's next?

You will learn to write a program to do green-screen processing in the next module.
