This is a bit off topic, but I don't do that very often.
I need a java program that can take an image of a defined resolution (such as 300dpi) and disply a reduced version on the screen, but allow the user to select a mask of a defined size relative to the image (such as 24x36mm), and move it around the image.
It's for an area of the shopping cart. I need to show images of the item, and allow people to move masks of different shapes/sizes over it to visualize the final product that can be made from that item.
I don't do Java, and I don't track Java programs, so I'm hoping someone out there may know of a program that can do this.
It's actually kind of simple, since I don't need the program to do anything, except allow the person to move the mask over the image to visualize how it would look "cropped". No saving the selected area, or anything, just _visualizing_ it. This is a visual aid for 1) size relationship and 2) visualization of finished area. The masks can even be bit maps moved over the base image, as long as relative sizes are maintained.
I know there are programs like this out there, some incredibly more complex. I need something fairly simple.
If anyone knows of starting source code, a book that has an example that is close to this, or best yet, a finished program to do it, _PLEASE_ let me know!
