Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hello,

I'm trying to manipulate a Graphics2D object to change all subsequent painting operations. Particularly, I have just overwritten the "paint(Graphics g)" method of the JDialog class, which looks that way:

@Override
public void paint( Graphics g )
{
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g.create();
    g2d.translate( 100, 100 );
 
    super.paint( g2d );
}

Now I exptected all drawings within the JDialog to be translated by 100,100 pixels (e.g. a simple JButton). But this does not work, the "g2d.translate( 100, 100 );" does not have any effect on the subsequent drawings done by "super.paint( g2d );".

Does anyone know, why this isn't working? Is it even possible to do something like that?

(My intention is to draw a picture on the JDialog, and then draw the contents of the JDialog (all the components) on top of it with half the alpha value with the AlphaComposite class)


Thanks a lot for your help!
