[java] Java-Draw Image to JPanel
Author
Hi...
Im making an application that uses javax.swing and am having a problem with drawing an image...
My main class extends JFrame, and all I add is 2 JLabels to the ContentPane of the JFrame.
Then, I have
Author
Hmmm...my
public void paint(...)
is overriding the main class''s paint event, and the main class extends a JFrame...
But I should be painting to a JPanel, right?
Does anyone know how I can override the JPanel''s paint method? the JPanel in question is returned by getContentPane()
Thanks,
Lord Hen

its been a while for me but. Why not just set the jpanel icon to the image you want. That should work just fine.

Well, you have to draw to the contentPane of the JPanel not the frame. That might be first problem. It could be your image is getting drawn over by the JPanel/JLabel, or whatever you are using. The second that would concern me is you are calling paint() from paint() which is going to recurse infinitely. Are you drawing to JLabels or JPanels? Either way, I''ve had better luck overriding JPanel.paintComponent() then JFrame.paint().

Just create another class which extentds JPanel and then add than panal to your frame..... if this is the effect you want that is......
something like this
or something similar to that....

something like this
class whatever extends JPanel { Image toDraw; int x,y; public whatever(Image toDraw,Point p){ this.toDraw=toDraw; x=p.x; y=p.y; } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { Graphics2D graph=(Graphics2D)g; graph.drawImage(toDraw,x,y,this); }} or something similar to that....

All the swing questions of late are readily and easily covered in a beginner''s tutorial on swing. Look around folks, this is fundamental stuff.
try <a href="http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/">this one</a> out.

Hell I own the o''rielly swing and 2d books and have read them, but they both don''t talk too much about making extensive apps, that you draw on... its the drawing on them part that isn''t really all that cover... how to draw yeah... as longs as all your stuff is the same... and the thousand and one other things you try to do in conjunction with drawing on stuff.
And like Java Development is a really happenning thread... this place is hurting for good questions too be explored.

Sorry -- actually that is great link -- wish I had it about a week ago. Just didn''t go to right source I guess.

You only use the content pane in JFrame, not in JPanel.

He is calling super.paint(g), which is the paint of the super class.

He is right here. It is easier/better to subclass JPanel for custom drawing. Then you just override paintComponent. Also if you are not adding any components to the JPanel, you should not call super.paint(). On a side note, the order you call super.paint() in is significant. If you call it after all your painting code, you might just get your stuff overdrawn by everything the super class is going to paint.
First make it work,
then make it fast.
