Getting subimage from Image

Can we convert BufferedImage to an Image?

I want to take some part of image for a Button.

So I cant use BufferedImage over there..

look what I have is

[code]

BufferedImage bufImg=ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("myimage.jpg"));

//This gives me BufferedImage object

//now how can I convert this to an Image object

Image img=?

Image yourImage = yourBufferedImage;

But why would you need to?

Actually I have an image("test.jpg") I want to use only some part of that image for my Button.

So I am asking.

Here is your spoon.

BufferedImage bufImg = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("myimage.jpg"));

BufferedImage section = bufImg.getSubimage(5, 5, 20, 20); //adjust to your liking

JButton myButton = new JButton(new ImageIcon(section));

Suggestion: mookmark the APIs:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/

For example, one of the first things you'd notice about BufferedImage:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/image/BufferedImage.html

... is that it extends java.awt.Image -- prob solv!
