If you can load the image as a java.awt.image.BufferedImage, there's a method to get a subimage.

If you are trying to crop or clip whatever you are rendering, you can play around with the graphics's object clip property though these methods:

java.awt.Graphics:

clipRect(x, y, width, height)

Shape getClip()

setClip(x, y, width, height)

setClip(Shape)

java.awt.Graphics2D:

clip(Shape)

Read the API for details.
