Displaying an image issue

[Abder-Rahman Ali]

Hello,

I have created a GUI with the menus "File" and "Help".

"File" has a menu item, "Open Image...".

I'm just having an issue DISPLAYING an image at the GUI.

I have my "Open Image..." menu item as follows:

 
openImageMenuItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
	{
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
			fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
			int sts = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(AbdMedImgEditor.this);
			
			if(sts == fileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
			{
				File selectedFile = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
				picturePanel = new PicturePanel(selectedFile.getAbsolutePath());
			}
 
		}
		
	}
	);   

And, the code that is responsible for displaying the image is:

   
public class PicturePanel extends JPanel
{
  private ImageIcon picture;
  PicturePanel(String fileName)
  {
	  picture = new ImageIcon(fileName);	  
  }
  
  public void paint(Graphics g)
  {
	  super.paint(g);
	  g.drawImage(picture.getImage(),0,0,this);
  }
}

And, finally the code that displays the creates and shows the GUI is as follows:

    
public static void createShowGUI()
{
	JFrame frame = new JFrame("Img Editor");
	AbdMedImgEditor abdEditor = new AbdMedImgEditor();
	frame.setJMenuBar(abdEditor.createMenuBar());
	frame.setSize(500, 500);
	frame.setVisible(true);
}
 

Thanks.

where do you add the picturePanel?

don't use paint() with swing components - use paintComponent()

Yes, exactly, this is the case.

How do I add the "PicturePanel" to my GUI? This is the the problem I'm facing.

Thanks.
