How do i create an Image in my own class

Question

Hi!
I have a class
public class gBuffer {
which is used for double and tripple and n-th
buffer of graphics.
I need to create an image in the constructor, but
the only way i could do it is something like:
Applet a = new Applet();
Image i=a.createImage(100,100);
I just could not find any other class where createImage()
is not abstract.
How do i do it right?

You need a real live Component object that will enable
you to do something like this:
Component c = get_a_Component_from_somewhere();
Image writable = c.createImage(100,100);
Graphics g = writable.getGraphics();
g.drawxyz(...);
g.dispose();If you're programming from within an application or servlet,
with no real GUI components available,
then you might have a problem. You might create a
Frame object without ever making it visible.
