Draw background image

Hi,

I am using a sample jpg picture from my computer stored in the src of the program.

Code:

---

package game1;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Game1 extends JFrame {
    private Insets insets;
    private final int WIDTH = 800, HEIGHT = 600;
    private Graphics g;
    private Image imageBuffer;

    public Game1() {
        setVisible(true);
        insets = getInsets();
        setSize(WIDTH + insets.left + insets.right, HEIGHT + insets.top +
                insets.bottom);
        setTitle("Game1");
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setResizable(false);
        if (((imageBuffer = createImage(WIDTH, HEIGHT)) != null) &&
                ((g = imageBuffer.getGraphics()) != null))
            drawGame();
        else
            System.exit(1);
}

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        if (imageBuffer != null)
            g.drawImage(imageBuffer, insets.left, insets.top, null);
}
   
   
    private void drawGame() {
        Image img;
        img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("Lighthouse.jpg");
        g.drawImage(img, insets.left, insets.top, null);
        repaint();
    }
   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Game1 game = new Game1();
    }
}

It is not displaying the picture on the window.
Any help?

Don't paint directly on a JFrame, instead subclass JPanel and do your drawing in the paintComponent() method. Then simply add the panel to your jframe!
