Using images in a java app.

I want to create a Java app that will have a list of images that the user can click on, and it will then load that image and display it. The images may be different sizes, but i want the image to be confined within a specific space. I know how to keep the aspect ratio and set the image box and even center it in the container, but i cant seem to get ahold of the attributes that tell me what the height /width of the image is... Where/how do i find these out? Can anyone direct me towards a tutorial?

thanks

Hi,

I've extended the icon framework to support scaling. Maybe you find it useful (the library is open source):

Have a look a the JXIconLabel and the classes in the icon package.

Set the zooming strategy of the JXIconLabel to FullZooming.RESPECTING_ASPECT_RATIO_INSTANCE
