Displaying Images

[Scott Makos]

I need to create an application (Non-Web based) that displays images. Is it possible to display images without a border in swing?

Any reply would be extremely grateful.

Are you referring to "undecorated" windows?

import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class ImageDisplay {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        URL url = new URL("http://blogs.sun.com/roller/resources/jag/SouthParkJAG-small.png");
        final JFrame f = new JFrame("ImageDisplay");
        f.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
        f.setUndecorated(true);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(url)));
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }
}
