ImageIcon

I am using a JLabel with icon for a background in an application with JDesktopPane; It works fine but the icon is too small for the screen and I need to size it before it becomes part of the JLabel. This cannot be tiled since it is a map.

Does anyone know of a clever way that I can size it to fit screen size? Resizing help also

I don't know how to scale a ImageIcon. But there is a method in 'Image' class called, 'getScaledInstance'. Using this method u might be able to resize the image. ImageIcon provides method for retrieving image object called 'getImage'.

If u don't get any other solution, u can try combination of above methods for resizing ImageIcon.
