Updating JFrame with creating a new one

Question

Hi All,
I instantiate an object as follows, which creates a JFrame
_imageOutput = new ImageOutput(array, offsetArray);
however this is inside a loop and instead of updating the JFrame is creates a new one each time. How can I stop it from creating a new one each time?
Thanks,
Enda.

How can I stop it from creating a new one each time?If you do
_imageOutput = new ImageOutput(array, offsetArray);
then OF COURSE it creates a NEW ImageOutput object.
If you want to update it (whatever that mean) then add a new method in that object like Update(). Then everytime you want to update it, use
_imageOutput.Update() .  You can refresh the graphics of a JComponent with repaint().
