Loading jpegs into an array.

[mzatanoskas]

Hi there,

I'm completely new to Java and don't know much about programming in general.

I'm trying to make a little program that will load a folder full of small jpegs, join them together to make a big image and then finally save the result as a jpg and png.

My first step is to load each image into a multidimensional array ie myarray[x-value][y-value].

So my question is, is this possible in Java? I had a look at the documentation and i only saw examples of integer, boolean etc arrays, not images/objects...

Thanks for any help or advice!

EDIT: Well in the mean time I've decided to just put the names of the jpegs in the array and then load them all individually later. I guess it will do.

use ImageIO to read pics which produce BufferedImage
BufferedImage.getData.getPixel(x, y , double[])

read Images (The Java™ Tutorials > 2D Graphics > Overview of the Java 2D API Concepts)

i dont think it is a good method or not...

Object arrays work, and thus Image arrays as well.

Say,
Image[][] imgArr = new Image[2][2];

Thanks guys, I didn't see the object stuff on the pages discussing arrays.
