Question

I am trying to resized a bufferedimage. I am able to store it and show up on a jframe no problems but I can’t seem to resize it. Any tips on how I can change this to make it work and show the image as a 200*200 file would be great

private void profPic(){
    String path = factory.getString("bottle");
    BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
}


public static BufferedImage resize(BufferedImage img, int newW, int newH) {  
    int w = img.getWidth();  
    int h = img.getHeight();  
    BufferedImage dimg = new BufferedImage(newW, newH, img.getType());  
    Graphics2D g = dimg.createGraphics();  
    g.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,
    RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);  
    g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, newW, newH, 0, 0, w, h, null);  
    g.dispose();  
    return dimg;  
}

Updated answer

I cannot recall why my original answer worked but having tested it in a separate environment, I agree, the original accepted answer doesn’t work (why I said it did I cannot remember either). This, on the other hand, did work:

public static BufferedImage resize(BufferedImage img, int newW, int newH) { 
    Image tmp = img.getScaledInstance(newW, newH, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
    BufferedImage dimg = new BufferedImage(newW, newH, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);

    Graphics2D g2d = dimg.createGraphics();
    g2d.drawImage(tmp, 0, 0, null);
    g2d.dispose();

    return dimg;
}
