Expand JPanel on runtime without losing picture

[Adrian M. Hanslik]

Hello there,

I have a JPanel which shows a GeneralPath.
As the path sometimes is bigger than the canvas,
I'd like to expand it on demand (during runtime)
to the left or right.

My only idea was to copy the GeneralPath,
resize the canvas and put the path onto it.
But are there any easier or better ways to do it?

Thanks a lot
Adrian
