Affine transform problem

Question

I am trying to scale the size of an image but it doesn t work
could you help me please?
thanks
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { //called Whenever panel needs
              Iterator<Shape> it = shapes.iterator(); //Iterate through Balls calling
                    if(Menu.geSelection()<=6 )
                        g.setColor(Menu.getColor());
                        g.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
                    else
                        try
                                bi = ImageIO.read(file);
                                //creating the AffineTransform instance
                                AffineTransform affineTransform = new AffineTransform();
                               affineTransform.scale(22, 22);
                                g.drawImage(bi, 0, 0, null);
                                catch (IOException ex)
                                    Logger.getLogger(ShapePanel.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                while (it.hasNext()) { //each one's paint method
                     it.next().paint(g);
     }

bi = ImageIO.read(file);
                                //creating the AffineTransform instance
                                AffineTransform affineTransform = new AffineTransform();
                                bi.createGraphics();
                                affineTransform.scale(22, 22);
                                Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
                                g2.setTransform(affineTransform);
                                g.drawImage(bi, 40, 0, null);
