Saving an ImageIcon to a file

[Barry Brashear]

How do I save an image icon in a file. It also has to be in a format that
a web page would be able to display.

Thanks.

ImageIcon has a getImage() method. javax.imageio.ImageIO can write RenderedImage instances to file. How do you convert between an Image and RenderedImage instance?

  
   public static BufferedImage toBufferedImage(Image img){
       int width = img.getWidth(null);
       int height = img.getHeight(null);
       BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
       Graphics g = bi.getGraphics();
       g.drawImage(img, 0,0, null);
       g.dispose();
       return bi;
   }
