Java image load

[dd2308]

I am trying to learn how load an image file in java. I've done this in an applet but cannot load it in a application.

Here is the code

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class Main extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[] args)

{
ImageLoad();

}
public static void ImageLoad()
{
BufferedImage img = null;


try {
img = ImageIO.read(new File("C:/slime.jpg"));

}
catch (IOException e)
{ ;
}

System.out.print(img);


}// Image load method end


}//End of Main class


I am returning the data as console, but how do i return the actual image?

Thanks for the help

how do i return the actual image

If the image's bytes are in an object, return a reference to that object.
I'm not sure what you mean by "return" for an image. Can you explain?

BTW You shouldn't leave catch blocks empty and ignore any exceptions. Add a call to printStackTrace() to the catch block.

Oh by return i mean render from memory visually

One way is make the image an Icon and add it to a JLabel
or create a JPanel, override its paintComponent() method and draw the image.
