#21516 — Swing image class

Is there really no built-in Swing class that just displays an image?

This is very hard to believe, but it looks like it at first google.

What's wrong with using JLabel?

Three methods for loading an image for display.

JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame();
mainFrame.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(imageFile)));
mainFrame.pack();
mainFrame.setVisible(true);


Done.

Google was not your friend today.

:-)

There are different ways of doing it.

JLabel lbl = new JLabel();
lbl.setIcon(new ImageIcon(location));
getContentPane().add(lbl);

is the simplest.

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
         super.paintComponent(g);
         BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(location);
         g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
}

gives you the option to play with AffineTransform.

Perhaps they considered it too simple.  Here is one

https://wush.net/svn/mindprod/com/mindprod/common11/ImageViewer.java

You can download the whole package at
http://mindprod.com/products1.html#COMMON11


You can use a JLabel/ImageIcon combo to get that effect in Swing.

That is a pretty little piece of code with Javadocs, clean and spare design, 
complete functionality without overstepping its purpose, and usefulness.
