Putting an Image on your Java applications.

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.

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.
