I have been trying to understand JViewports and tried to work with one. I have been using this gentleman's class, which just extends the JViewport class.
If I want to set the viewport in the middle of a 6480*4860 object implementing the JPanel Class, how come this code gives me a blank view, even if, upon debugging,I have confirmation that the class implementing JPanel I am using has been added to the view? Am I completely mixed up in my calls to the different methods or in my comprehension of the coordinates used and their meaning? And one more : Does calling
v.setOpaque(true);
set only the viewport opaque or it will set all its children too? I guess I will quickly know the answer to this one if I figure out how to properly use viewports.
public myProgram(){
...
myCustomJPanel = new MyCustonJPanel();
myCustomJPanel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
GrabbableViewport v = new GrabbableViewport();
v.setViewSize(new Dimension(720,540));
v.setViewPosition(new Point(720,540));
v.setView(myCustomJPanel);
v.setViewPosition(new Point(720,540));
v.setLocation(43, 5);
appropriateParentPanel.add(v);
}
Here is the class I am trying to use. It takes much more space for this short question, but formatted text should please you more than plain text! If I am not mistaken, though, the problem should not come from here.

I could give you a sscce but I think this should be simple enough, although I can piece together some example quickly if you ask.
