how to load image

[ed jones]

hello,

confused about how to load an image? The image is in /src/res

  import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Image;
 
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
 
public class DisplayImage extends JPanel {
 
   Image castle;
   Dimension size;
 
    public DisplayImage() {
        size = new Dimension();
        
       // castle = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("cloud1.jpeg")).getImage();
        
        ImageIcon picIcon = new ImageIcon("cloud1.jpeg");
        
        castle = picIcon.getImage();
        
        size.width = castle.getWidth(null);
        size.height = castle.getHeight(null);
        setPreferredSize(size);
    }
 
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
 
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
 
        g2d.drawImage(castle, 0, 0, null);
    }
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Red Rock");
        frame.add(new DisplayImage());
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Usually, placing the image file in the same directory as your main class file is sufficient. Or, you can also add it explicitly if you are using an IDE like NetBeans.

Sound like a Swing-related topic: moving
