How do I draw an image to a JPanel or JFrame?
How do I draw an Image to a JPanel or JFrame, I have already read oracle's tutorial on this but I can't seem to get it right. I need the image "BeachRoad.png
" to be displayed on a specific set of coordinates. Here is what I have so far.
public class Level1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
static JLayeredPane EverythingButPlayer;
static Level1 l1;
public Level1() {
EverythingButPlayer = new JLayeredPane();
BufferedImage img = null;
try {
img = ImageIO.read(new File("BeachRoad.png"));
} catch (IOException e) {
}
Graphics g = img.getGraphics();
g.drawImage(img,0, 0, EverythingButPlayer);
this.add(EverythingButPlayer);
}
And in the Main(),
l1 = new Level1();
l1.setTitle("poop");
l1.setSize(1920, 1080);
l1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
l1.setVisible(true);
Thanks in advance!
Try this:
package com.sandbox;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class SwingSandbox {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
JFrame frame = buildFrame();
final BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\\Projects\\MavenSandbox\\src\\main\\resources\\img.jpg"));
JPanel pane = new JPanel() {
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
}
};
frame.add(pane);
}
private static JFrame buildFrame() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(200, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
return frame;
}
}
There are a lot of methods, but I always override the paint(Graphics g)
of a JComponent
and use g.drawImage(...)
edit: I was making a sample, but Daniel Kaplan did it perfectly, look at his answer :)
