Loading an Image

[mohed.haidar]

Hello guys. I have been trying hard to load an Image but with no luck.
Basically I want an application that can take an Image (jpeg) from a
specified location on my disk and show it. I get confused with all the
canvas, paint, render ,update stuff that makes the task seam very
complicated when i feel that its not so. Any ideas ?? And also if you
guys would have a problem like mine how would you go about finding a
solution ?? Thank you for your time.

1. Use ImageIO to load the file into an Image object:
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/images/loadimage.html>

2. Use the Image object to create an ImageIcon object.

3. Place the ImageIcon widget in a JLabel and add the label to your
window.

Check the javadocs on ImageIO, Image, ImageIcon, and JLabel for a
fairly thorough explanation of how all this fits together. The
tutorial link I gave you proposes a second way to do it, which is more
useful if you need to transform the image (scale, rotate, recolour,
alpha-blend, et cetera) before drawing it.

Also look here for some example code on how to load and display and image.

And I would use the ImageIO method not the others.
