Just wondering how I would actually load an image from a file and output it on a window I created. Its like I am making a simulation with 1000 pingpong balls bouncing off each other and need a way to draw ping pong balls on a spoecific coordinates.

My gui is too simple...
Thanks

I would just draw the "ping-ping" balls on the canvas. Look at Graphics2D, Circle, and Canvas.

If you really want to load an image from file (this will be significantly slower than drawing the ping pong balls, of course, and I doubt you'd get a 1000 of them without the computer slowing down, but...) instantiate an Image object like so:


Where you'd replace myImg.jpg with whatever image you want to load.

Then simply draw it in paint or whatever. The function is

drawImage(Image, x, y, height, width, this)

Use it just like you'd use the rectangle or oval function, except with those parameters.

You could also take the JLabel route.

JLabel ball = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("ball.jpg"));
ball.setBounds(xCoord, yCoord, imgWidth, imgHeight);
panel.add(ball);
