hi, I have a small image on an applet screen
is there a method like getX() and getY() which will return the coordinates of the image...note that the image can be any where on the screen
ie.
Image pic;
..........
pic = getImage(getDocumentBase(),"apic.gif");
........
int x = pic.getX()//something like this
int y = pic.getY()//something like this
thanks
the code you have there, creates an offscreen Image.
It has no x or y position. Images are not part of the AWT/Swing Component heirarchy, and hence are not displayable in the way.
If you want to draw an offscreen image, there are 2 ways of doing it
1.
override the void paint(Graphics g) method,
with code looking similar to
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawImage(yourImageObject,x,y,null);
}
this code will draw the image at position (x,y) each time a repaint event is posted for your Component.
2.
create an ImageIcon from the Image.
create a JLabel using the ImageIcon as the parameter
add the JLabel to the Container in which you want the image drawn.
I don't have the API handy atm, but the code would look something like
add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(youtImageObject)));
