How do I loop an image across a JPanel?

[JavaCoconut]

So, I am having trouble making one single image loop across a JPanel. The code I am currently using only draws a single road (the image I am trying to loop) Here is what I am using:

public void drawSprite(Graphics2D g) {
        //gp is an instance of my GamePanel class, PWIDTH is the width of the panel, sprite is the image, locx is the x coordinate, locy is the y coordinate.
        int w = sprite.getWidth();

        if(tiled) {
        for(int i = 0; i > gp.PWIDTH; i += w) {
            locx = i;
            g.drawImage(sprite, null, locx, locy);
            }
        } else {
        g.drawImage(sprite, null, locx, locy);
    }
}

drawSprite(Graphics2D g) gets called in the render() method of my GamePanel class (Runnable JPanel)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you post an image of what you're currently getting and what you want to get? Can you tell us more about your GUI and the JPanel's paintComponent method? Are you trying to animate a sprite or are you trying to tile with the sprite? Please fill in the details and assume that we know nothing about your current project or its code.

Thanks for the quick reply and yep, sure. I am trying to tile one road sprite all across a JPanel, I also have a car sprite which is controlled by keyboard input to move along the road.

This is my paintComponent() method:

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        if(dbImage != null) {
        g.drawImage(dbImage, 0, 0, null);
        }
    }

This is render():

private Graphics2D dbg;
private Image dbImage;
private Car car = new Car();
private RoadSprite road = new RoadSprite();

public void render() {
        if(dbImage == null) {
            dbImage = createImage(PWIDTH, PHEIGHT);
            if (dbImage == null) {
                System.out.println("dbImage is null");
                return;
            } else {
                dbg = (Graphics2D) dbImage.getGraphics();
            }
        }

        dbg.setColor(Color.white);
        dbg.fillRect(0, 0, PWIDTH, PHEIGHT);

        dbg.setColor(Color.RED);
        dbg.drawString(String.valueOf(frame), 30, 30);
 
        road.drawSprite(dbg);
        car.drawSprite(dbg);
    }

Here is an image of what I am currently getting:

Have you put in println statements to test the values of certain variables during your program's run? In particular, in your drawSprite method, you'll want to check the values of w, tiled, gp.PWIDTH, and locx.
