Image on a panel in java, how??

[Habib]

I am a beginner in java. in a project i want to set an image in a panel. I'm in a fix what to do.
Please anyone help me. Very urgent.

try this:

1)create an image instance variable:

Image face;

2)load the image in the constructor of the panel:

face= new ImageIcon("image location on disk").getImage();

3) in the paintComponent method after you call super.painComponent(g), call the draw image method and give it as a first parameter face:

public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
g.drawImage(face,x,y,null) // x,y = position of image, null = imageobserver

}
hope this helps...

Instead of #3, it's a whole lot easier to just to create a JLabel with the face icon and add it to your panel, perhaps as the CENTER component in a BorderLayout.
