I often hear people asking on how to put an image on Java applications, thus here is an example of a painted panel that has an image in the same directory as the application *note* you cant use windows bmp with Java, but once you start creating your own images it's a good time to note that their are many "free image converters" available.
Hope i've helped.
Code: Java
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PaintPanel extends JFrame
{
public PaintPanel()
{
super("painted panel example");
setSize(640, 400);
setResizable(false);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true); //create frame
Container contentArea = getContentPane(); //create container
CustomPanel panel = new CustomPanel();
contentArea.add(panel);
setContentPane(contentArea); //add components
}
class CustomPanel extends JPanel
{
public void paintComponent (Graphics painter)
{
Image pic =
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("gui1.gif");
if(pic != null) painter.drawImage(pic, 15, 5, this); //create image
}
}
public static void main(String [] args)
{PaintPanel eg = new PaintPanel();}
}
Hope i've helped.
