permently.Two options.
Option A:
Use a null LayoutManager for your JFrame and explicitly set the bounds of the JLabel:
frame.setLayout(null);
image.setBounds(x,y,w,h);  // x,y,w,h are calculated by you somewhere else
frame.add(image);Option B:
Paint the image on the JFrame directly by overriding its painting code.
Neither option is a good idea. What exactly are you trying to create?
