Getting an Image instance...

Ok, I have this class that extends JFrame and I'm trying to setIconImage() but I need an Image instance to do so. Is there a method to get an Image instance?

Check out the javadocs for IconImage - and/or check out http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/icon.htmlGood LuckLee

the setIconImage() method only takes an Image object. But the Image class is abstract. I need to make an Image object. What's the method to get one?

Go to the API documentation for Image. See the "Use" link up at the top of the page? Click on it. There you will see a list of methods that use Image, that return Image, and so on. Or preferably, look at the tutorial that tsith linked to. It does have some examples.

Ya, it has examples, but they are all of ImageIcons. I need an Image object. It's the only thing that the method will take.

you might note that the ImageIcon class has a getImage method that returns an Image.

Ya, I found that. Now I have the image, but it doesn't show up on the JFrame.
