insets and bounds

[kolt007]

In my head it works like this.

bounds.width:

 ___________________________
 |                                                    |
 |             *bounds.width*             |
 |  <-------------------------------->     |                                           
 |                                                    |
 |__________________________|

bounds.height:

___________________________
|                    ^                              |
|                     |                              |
|                     | bonds.height        |
|__________\/_______________|

so bounds is the integer value of the distance.

So the insets must be the coordinates?

            class sTart 
               extends JPanel {


private Image image;
private int imageHeight;
private int imageWidth;


   
public sTart(ImageIcon img) {
 
  if(img != null) {
   image = img.getImage();
   imageWidth = image.getWidth(this);
   imageHeight = image.getHeight(this);
   if(imageWidth > 0 && imageHeight > 0) {
    setPreferredSize(new Dimension(imageWidth, imageHeight));
   }
  }
 }

public sTart() {
    setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
    }
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
    return new Dimension(500, 350);
    }

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);       

   Insets insets = getInsets();
   int width = insets.left;
 
    int dX1 = 0;
    int dY1 = 0;
    int dX2 = 0;
    int dY2 = 0;
    int sX1 = 0;
    int sY1 = 0;
    int sX2 = 0;
    int sY2 = 0;

    g.drawImage(image,
                 dX1,
                 dY1,
                 dX2,
                 dY2,
                 sX1,
                 sY1,
                 sX2,
                 sY2,
                this);
    g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 200, 200, this);
    g.drawString(String.valueOf(width) + String.valueOf(insets.right) + String.valueOf(insets.bottom), 10, 20);
   }  
  }

  ImageIcon menu = new ImageIcon("database//StartMenu.jpg");
  surge.add(new sTart(menu));
  surge.pack();
  surge.setVisible(true);
 }
}

why doesn't this display the StartMenu.jpg? If it is because I am using the drawImage incorrectly disreguard this question.

In my head it works like this.

Rather than guessing why not read the API docs.

I've recently posted the code to do this very thing. Either search for the post on this site on look on my web site
