Adding image to graphic

Question

Hi,
I am trying to add an image instead of a red square to the Performing custom painting demo.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/painting/refining.html
I have loaded the image into the class, but can't work out how to display it in the graphic.
It is probably something simple (I hope). Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Attached is the code to the class.
class NorthPoint{
private int xPos = 150;
private int yPos = 200;
private int width = 100;
private int height = 100;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
// load north point image
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("NorthPoint100.png"));
Icon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
JComponent nthPnt = new JLabel(icon);
public void setX(int xPos){
this.xPos = xPos;
public int getX(){
return xPos;
public void setY(int yPos){
this.yPos = yPos;
public int getY(){
return yPos;
public int getWidth(){
return width;
public int getHeight(){
return height;
public void paintNorth(Graphics g){
// g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
// g.fillRect(xPos,yPos,width,height);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.drawRect(xPos,yPos,width,height);

Use the drawImage method in Graphics. [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Graphics.html]
