how to resize images

hi,

i did it like this...

<CODE>

private void repaintImage() {

ImageIcon icon = (ImageIcon)imageLabel.getIcon();

Image img = icon.getImage();

double newWidth = img.getWidth(this) * xFactor;

double newHeight = img.getHeight(this) * yFactor;

Image scaled = img.getScaledInstance((int)newWidth, (int)newHeight, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);

ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(scaled);

imageLabel.setIcon((Icon)ii);

jScrollPane1.setViewportView(imageLabel);

update(getGraphics());

}

</CODE>

i have the following structure

scrollpane contains label which contains imageIcon, this icon can be converted to awt.Image, which provides the method for scaling the image.

i suggest to reload or take a buffered image when before resizing it, because once resized, the quality drops a little bit and as often you resize you loose more quality, so always stretch or shrink the image from the original to get best quality.

hope that helps

chris
