using getImage() with using Applet

[chetan reddy]

I would like to know weather it is possible to
use getImage() to import a jpg image in to my
java program without importing the java.Applet.applet;
and also I don't want to use "appletviewer" to run
the program. I want to run it through "java" command.
Thanks

u can do this but only for frame but not for applet.

Chetan,
This is what Toolkit was made for... just do this:

  Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
  Image im = tk.createImage( "file.gif" ); // or whatever your filename is...

This will load the image saved in file.gif into the Image im...
HTH,
