resizing background on JPanel with window

Hello all, I was wondering if someone could explain how I might get my background image I have painted onto a JPanel to stretch (or contract) to fit the panel and resize with it. It doesn't seem like it should be difficult but I haven't found a way to phrase it for Google yet....

Thanks!

bump? Maybe this isn't possible?

Andy,
We have a forum dedicated for Swing. I will move this post there for you.

As you can see, you need to define the dimensions of the image, to match the dimensions of the parent container (panel in this case)

Perfect, thanks a bunch.
