background image help

[Ann]

I have a tree and the background color is set as follows:

newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
newContentPane.setBackground(new Color(1.0f, 0.6f, 0.6f));

I would like to use a gif file instead of a solid color
as a background image. How to? Or where to look please.

is this a JComponent? try JComponent.getGraphics() then
Graphics.drawImage() Of course you will need to have created a new
Image with the gif something like this (from the docs)
(java.awt.Toolkit.getImage())

Image src = getImage("doc:///demo/images/duke/T1.gif");

BTW, what do you mean "I have a tree?"

It is a Jtree. I copied the demo from the "How to Use Trees"
tutorial on the sun web site.
