Noob GUI question - Display an Image from a file

I've done a bit of Java before but never a user interface. To start I'm just trying to display an image in a Panel, and can't even get that far!
Here is my code (all the relevant bits of it...), would be much appreciated if someone could explain why it doesn't work. (Just so you know, breakpoints have shown that the code IS getting to the end of the 'try' block successfully)
public class PictureBox extends Canvas {
    private Image m_image;
    public PictureBox()
        m_image = null;
    public PictureBox(Image image)
        m_image = image;
    public void setImage(Image image)
        m_image = image;
    @Override public void paint(Graphics g)
        if(m_image != null)
            g.drawImage(m_image, 0, 0, this);
    private void initialise()
        m_pb = new PictureBox();
        jPanel1.add(m_pb);
        jPanel1.add(new JButton());
    private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        try
            jFileChooser1.showOpenDialog(jPanel1);
            File f = jFileChooser1.getSelectedFile();
            m_image = ImageIO.read(f);
            m_pb.setImage(m_image);
            m_pb.repaint();
        catch(Exception e)
            return;
    }

I don't know which resource you are using as a guide, but throw it away immediately. You are using AWT here, I would highly recommend you switch to Swing. It has a very nice tutorial that will get you up and running in no time:

  • How can I display an image from a shared-network folder?

    Hi
    Does anyone know how I can display images from within APEX that are found outside the database? What configuration have I missed?
    Within Windows-Internet-Explore I can access the following image using the below URLs, BUT I cannot access it from within APEX?
    What do I need to do so APEX can display theses images from our internal shared network folder?
    both these URLs work within Firefox (but on APEX):
    \\Saremote\UPDOWNFILES_DIR\polk_insight.gif
    file://///Saremote/UPDOWNFILES_DIR/polk_insight.GIF
    So within APEX I have created a "display as Text' Item that works with this "amazon image" syntax:
    {lessthan} IMG SRC= {doublequot} http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/navbar2000/logo-no-border(1).gif {doublequot} {greaterthan}
    BUT sadly not with my image:
    {lessthan} IMG SRC= {doublequot} file://///Saremote/UPDOWNFILES_DIR/polk_insight.GIF {doublequot} {greaterthan}
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Steve

    If you have a local html file, or open an image locally from the menu, then yes, it works, but with web pages that are served from a remote location (web server), security kicks in and prevents the web page from accessing local files (and files on a networked drive).
    you will either have to put the image on the web server and access it through http, or you can load it into the database/workspace images and access it that way.

  • Display an image from an array of bytes

    Hi, I'm trying to display an image from the raw pixel values. lets say i read a bmp file to an array, chuk the header off and want to display the pixel. How can I do this? I don't want any file formats, just want to display the pixels and creat the image. Is this possible?
    Many thanks,
    H

    Thanks for the reply. I had a look at MemoryImageSource and other classes that relates to it. I wrote the example given, but it doesn't identify createImage(). I've implemented ImageProducer, but still complains. Have you any idea why? Thanks for your help.

  • Problem loading image from jar file referenced by jar file

    First, I searched this one and no, I didn't find an answer. Loading images from jar files has been pretty much done to death but my problem is different. Please read on.
    I have my application, a straight up executable running from Eclipse. It uses a jar file, call it JarA. JarA launches a GUI that is located in another jar file. Call it JarB. To recap:
    My application calls JarA -> JarA loads classes from JarB -> JarB looks for images to place in a GUI it wants to show on the screen
    When JarB goes to load an image the following happens:
    java.lang.NullPointerException
         at sun.misc.URLClassPath$3.run(URLClassPath.java:316)
         at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
         at sun.misc.URLClassPath.getLoader(URLClassPath.java:313)
         at sun.misc.URLClassPath.getLoader(URLClassPath.java:290)
         at sun.misc.URLClassPath.findResource(URLClassPath.java:141)
         at java.net.URLClassLoader$2.run(URLClassLoader.java:362)
         at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
         at java.net.URLClassLoader.findResource(URLClassLoader.java:359)
         at java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(ClassLoader.java:977)
         at org.cubrc.gmshell.gui.MainWin.preInit(MainWin.java:152)
         at org.cubrc.gmshell.gui.MainWin.<init>(MainWin.java:135)
    The code from JarB that loads the image looks like this:
              URL[] oSearch = {Main.class.getResource("images/")};
              URLClassLoader oLoader = new URLClassLoader(oSearch);
              imgIcon = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("icon.gif"));
              imgMatchRunning = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("gears.gif"));
              imgMatchStill = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("gears-still.gif"));
              imgMagnify = new ImageIcon(oLoader.getResource("magnify.gif"));This looks right to me and JarB certainly has an images directory with those files. But I'm in hell right now because I don't know where to place the images to make this work or if you can even attempt to load images with a dependency chain like this.
    Any help very appreciated!

    Have you tried to move your image-files out of the jar file and place them in the sam folder as the jar-file? I think that would help.
    When you try to load the image-file you get the NullPointerException because the program tries to read a file it can't find. Remember that a jar file IS a file and not a directory.
    If you want to read somthing inside the jar-file you need to encode it first.
    Have you tried to read the jar-file with winRar. It makes it easy to add and remove files in your jar-file.

    What is the proper way to load images from css in Java 8?
    Ref
    How to load images from css file in JavaFX 8 - Stack Overflow

    There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement.  The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
    When loading from a file on a client computer:
    READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
    Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
    The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
    The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
    Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

  • Copying a part of image from one file to another

    I am very new to InDesign, 2days old. I have to copy a small part of an image from one file and to paste on the other file. Is it possible? If yes, can you anybody explain me step by step?

    Welcome to the forum.
    Briefly, I would open the image in Photoshop. Crop the area you want. Size it to the finished size at (for printing) 300ppi, save it in the folder where you are going to save your InDesign document. Create a new InDesign document, choose Print for the intent, select the page size, margins, etc. save and name your document. You can place (command/control D) your image. Resizing it and positioning it to suit.
    By using a PSD file you can easily round trip back to Photoshop to make more changes.
    You should get some lessons, such as those on Lynda.com and Trainsimple.com and there are some excellent books available as well - Classroom in a Book and Visual Quickstart Guide.

  • Editing Image From PDF File To Use in AI Document

    Hello,
    I am a beginner user of AI and am having trouble with editing certain images from PDF files on Illustrator. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do can be done on Illustrator or requires Photoshop.
    A) Here is the first example (Note that this is only similar to the type of image I am talking about. It is not the exact one as I don't have access to it right now):
    So let's say here are the things I want to do. (1) Extract it from the PDF file, (2) transfer it to my AI document without blurriness, (3) change the white background of the image to another color (eg. grey), (4) and embolden the lines presently in the image. If you can advise what's the way to perform these tasks?
    I have used image trace at times but if the photo is too light, portions of it will vanish. The portions that do remain become way too bold. It would be great if there was a way I could make most if not each components of the image controllable/movable. Is it possible?
    Also, what if I want to erase some of the text on the image? I have tried using the eraser tool but it does not erase on images.
    B) How would I go about removing the background of a photo like this and replacing it with a color?
    Please keep in mind that I am a complete neophyte when it comes to using Illustrator, Photoshop etc so take this into consideration when explaining. Thanks in advance

    Trent,
    To make a clear and clean drawing like A), it is better to use the image as a locked template and recreate with the native tools; most things can be made with the Rectangle Tool and the Ellipse Tool, some with the Line Segment Tool or the Pen Tool; and you can use different Window>Pathfider operations.
    It is probably easier to get rid of the surroundings in B) using Photoshop where you can erase colours within a range; the grass seen through the windows may be treated by itself, and you may wish to keep the shadow.

  • Reading Images from JAR Files

    Hi,
    I am having a very difficult time being able to read images from a JAR file via my Applet. I have tried everything that I know about with no luck. The only way I can get this to work is to store the images individually in a sub directory of public_html on the websever. This works, but I would like the images to come down in a JAR file for performance reasons.
    I am using Internet Explorer 5.5 for my browser. I checked the options and everything seems to be in order, but......
    I would appreciate any feedback that anyone might have on this topic..........
    Thank You....

    once in a jar file i inserted a image
    the jar file on clicking starts an frame.

    i could not get that image from jar file by new imageicon().getimage();
    but i get the image if it is in the directory in which jar file is.....
    can one explain the reason

    hI,
    I've found the solution!!
    My code was wrong, the correct way is:
    DATA:  image type XSTRING,
                imagelength type i.
    DATA: it_img TYPE w3mimetabtype.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSFC_BASE64_DECODE'
       EXPORTING
         b64data = output-CONVERT_FROM_URL_RESULT
       IMPORTING
         bindata = image
       EXCEPTIONS
         OTHERS  = 8.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
       EXPORTING
         buffer                = image
         "APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
       IMPORTING
         OUTPUT_LENGTH         = imagelength
       tables
         binary_tab            = it_img.
