Hi,

I want to draw a personnalised JComponent (let's name it GridCell for
instance) which would contain a small Icon.
The display method (paint() ?) would paint an icon given its internal
parameter.

What I need to know is how to do that in Java ? ;o)

I have no idea how to make it work. I tried ImageIcon, BufferedImage and so
on with no results.

Finally, the icons I want to show would be scaled to the size of the
personnalised JComponent (GridCell).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

What you probably need to do is the Java tutorials.
(What, ..did you think we would spoon-feed you?)

Oh? Where are your short, self contained, compileable
examples? What were the stacktraces of the failures,
what was the ouput? Do you have the examples you
made as Applets, so that we can surf to the site and see
them fail for ourselves?

> Thanks in advance for any advice.

Do some work yourself and come back with either a
a) 'point me to the class' question, or
b) 'why does this code give this stacktrace' type
question.

But, to toss you a bone, you may find some good
image related source through the site of Marco Shmidt, at..

sounds like JLabel.

"My Full Name" made me laugh. :)

The easiest way to put and icon on a JComponent is to use a JLabel and
ImageIcon combination.

Create an ImageIcon from a jpg and add it to the JLabel. That will
handle all of the sizing for you automatically.
