Question

I have a JFrame window with GridBagLayout(). There is a JLabel with Icon – it’s a map. Now I need to show another picture (player position indicator) above map.

Is it possible, how?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

Subclass JLabel and override the paint method.

public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    // paint player location on map
}

Handle your conversion from in game coordinates to coordinates on the map.
