Importing Picture into Java Code

Hi I am taking a Computer Science Class in which I learn about Java code. I am fairly new so I don't understand a lot of it.

My teacher gave me an assignment in which I had to create multiple scenes. I am wanting to import a picture of someone's face and I don't know how to do it. We are using drawString, and drawRect, etc.... so if the code you suggest could be fairly simple that would be great. I would be plugging it into coordinates (ie drawString("1",240,560);

Thank you!!!

I would suggest something like this...

Image image = null;
try {
// Read from a file
File sourceimage = new File("source.gif");
image = ImageIO.read(sourceimage);

// Read from an input stream
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream("source.gif"));
image = ImageIO.read(is);

// Read from a URL
URL url = new URL("http://java-tips.org/source.gif");
image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
}

// Use a label to display the image
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

Keep this in your main method and look at the javax.image api docs for making changes to image object.
