How to flip BufferedImage in java

Question

I get RGB24 byte array and want to show it in Java.

public void getByteArray(byte byteArray[]){     
        int count1 = 0;
        byte temp1 = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < byteArray.length; i++) {       //The order of RGB24 is red,green and blue.Change the
            //order to blue,green and red so that java can use TYPE_3BYTE_BGR to recognize it
            if (count1 == 0) {
                temp1 = byteArray[i];  
                count1++;
            } else if(count1 == 1) {
                //do nothing
                count1++;
            } else if(count1 == 2) {
                byteArray[i - 2] = byteArray[i];
                byteArray[i] = temp1;
                count1=0;
            }
        }
        image = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
        image.getWritableTile(0, 0).setDataElements(0, 0, width, height, byteArray);

        mainPanel.repaint();

However,the effect is not conform to my requirement and it is strange.

How can I flip the BufferedImage to the correct direction like this?

Answer 1

you only have to draw the bufferedImage in negative width or negative height in drawImage method thats all

//flip horizontally
g.drawImage(bufferedImage , x,y,-width,height,null);

//flip vertically
g.drawImage(bufferedImage , x,y,width,-height,null);
