I\'m using Java Graphics and I keep getting \"ugly\" circles.

Here\'s what my Java program makes

EDIT: Please see Code Guy's answer below for a solution. This is marked correct because it was Joey Rohan who figured it out initially!

I got smooth edge when i tried out same thing:

  g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,    RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class DrawSmoothCircle {
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
        BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(100, 100, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        Graphics2D g2d = bufferedImage.createGraphics();

        g2d.setRenderingHint (RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        g2d.setPaint(Color.green);
        g2d.fillOval(10, 10, 50, 50);
        g2d.dispose();

        ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "png", new File("e:\\newimage.png"));
    }
}

UPDATE:

After searching alot:

There is nothing wrong with the code but,

Well, unfortunately Java 2D (or at least Sun's current implementation) does not support "soft clipping."

But Also got a trick for the clips: Follow This link,you can achieve what you are asking for.

(Also, i got a smooth edge, cause i din't use clip stuff,in my above image)
