Save buffered image with transparent background

You are setting the Buffered Image have a type of just RGB which has no Alpha component, you will have to use one that does have alpha to maintain transparency.

ready to use end to end example

it will create png picture with transparency and 2 x rectangles

        BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(width, height,
                BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
        Graphics2D g2d = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
        g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Clear);
        g2d.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);

        g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
        int alpha = 127; // 50% transparent
        g2d.setColor(new Color(255, 100, 100, alpha));
        g2d.fillRect(100, 100, 123, 123);

        g2d.setColor(new Color(0, 0, 0));
        g2d.fillRect(30, 30, 60, 60);

        g2d.dispose();

        ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "png", absOutFile);
        System.out.println("File saved to:");
        System.out.println(absOutFile);
    }
}

Use BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB instead of BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB. And save it to PNG image, JPEG does not support the transparency.

UPD:

For set the background transparent, use it:

g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Clear);
g2d.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);

And for draw your image:

g2d.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
drawPoints(Tablet.getPenPoints(), g2d, Color.BLACK);
