import javax.imageio.*;
 
    public class GQ extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private static final int FRAME_WIDTH = 1024;
    private static final int FRAME_HEIGHT = 768;
    private static final int FRAME_X_ORIGIN = 0;
    private static final int FRAME_Y_ORIGIN = 0;

 public static void main (String[] args) {
 
  GQ frame = new GQ();
  frame.setVisible(true);
    }

public GQ() {
     
  Container contentPane; 
       
    contentPane = getContentPane();
    contentPane.setBackground(Color.green);
       
    contentPane.setLayout(null); 

    image = new JPanel();
    contentPane.add(image);
}

class test4 extends JPanel {
BufferedImage image;
int w,h;

public test4() {
try {
image = ImageIO.read(new File("geo2.jpg"));
w = image.getWidth();
h = image.getHeight();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println(ioe);
System.exit(0);
}
}

public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(w,h);
}

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);

g.drawImage(image,0,0,this);
}

public  void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
test4 t = new test4();
t.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

f.add(t);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
       
         
    }
