Java Noob: How to draw my PNG?

CoderMan · 12-22-2009, 05:26 PM

I need to create a Java applet (1.5) and I have almost no idea what I'm doing. I found a tutorial that described how to draw lines and squares, but how do I draw a PNG image? I tried looking at the Java 5 API but I couldn't even figure out how to properly get the image into an image object...

Here's all I have so far:

Code:

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;

//No need to extend JApplet, since we don't add any components;
//we just paint.
public class Simple extends Applet {

    StringBuffer buffer;

    public void init() {
    }

    public void start() {
       paint();
    }

    public void stop() {
    }

    public void destroy() {
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
	Image img = ??? PNG from http://example.com/example.png ???

	g.drawImage(img, 20, 20, ???);
    }
}

Code:

Image.createImage( "http://example.com/example.png" );

LOL You seem to know all languages.

I haven't done Java in a long time, but this may help:

Code:

import java.swing.ImageIcon;
Image img = new ImageIcon(new URL("http://example.com/example.png")).getImage();
g.drawImage(img, 20, 20, NULL);

ImageMagick ( http://imagemagick.com/script/index.php ) has Java bindings.
