filling interior of a BufferedImage

Imagine that we change the triangle of figure 3.8 (Tiled Images as Fill Patterns: Example Output) with a

non polygon image, lets say a Duke image, or a Pear, or whatever you like, my question is:

In that case, could we fill that image with a pattern (like the bluedrop.gif of this TiledImages example)?

(Thanks for that tutorial link)

I'am not able to fill 'globalImage' with a 'patternImage'. I think setPaint has nothing to do with drawImage.

Some clues there?

BufferedImage globalImg;

public GComp() {

BufferedImage patternImg = null;

try {

patternImg = ImageIO.read(new File("D://PRUEBAS//resources//patternImg.gif"));

globalImg = ImageIO.read(new File("D://PRUEBAS//resources//globalImg.gif"));

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

texture = new TexturePaint(patternImg, new Rectangle(0, 0, 32, 32));

}

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;

g2.setPaint(texture);

g2.drawImage(globalImg, 100, 100, null);

}

}
