GUI image movement in the application window

Thread view:

I am trying to make an image slide freely in the application window,
sort of like a screensaver.

The layouts and components I find only allow things to stay stationary
. Anyone has any suggestions for me?

Thanks

This is nothing you do with a layout. This is something you do with the
Java2D API on some kind of drawing area. If you use Swing that is
typically a JPanel, if you use AWT that would be Canvas.

For advanced fun one would use full-screen mode and screen buffers.

BTW, there is some java screensaver extension somewhere at java.net

What Thomas said +..

Since you both mentioned it..
<http://screensavers.dev.java.net/>

Complete with several open source image slideshows, including
<https://screensavers.dev.java.net/#nice2cu>
<https://screensavers.dev.java.net/#slidersaver> * and
<https://screensavers.dev.java.net/#sszoom>

* By me, includes 'slide', 'zoom', 'fade' and 'wipe' transitions.
Yet to be included in the screensaver pack.
