Of course, it's not a pinnacle of Java2D programming, nor was it intended to. Since i don't have any imaging-related java.net project, i'm not intending to polish it to perfection. It even uses classes in the com.sun.image.codec.jpeg package. Hereby it is released to the public domain - feel free to use, reuse and abuse it in any way - but don't come back if your nuclear reactor stops functioning because of this :)
The result is quite OK:
