Images help - New on the area

Question

Hey, I'm new in Java2D and I have a JPanel in witch I need to put an Image from a file. It could be any kind of image file. But I don't know how to do it and the tutorials seems not to help. Could anyone of you help me? Code samples would make happy.

Answer 1

Have you done the Java2D tutourial?
You have to be careful when you write "any kind of image". How about an image format only known
to nomads that traverse the Gobi Desert?
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        URL url = new URL("http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot-small.jpg");
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(url);
        Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Example");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(label);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
