Question

I have a JPanel into a JFrame. I loaded a picture on the JPanel but its shown just a part of the picture: This is the part of the code where i did it:

JPanel panelImg = new JPanel()
{
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        Image img = new ImageIcon("Welcome.png").getImage();
        Dimension size = new Dimension(img.getWidth(null), img.getHeight(null));
        setPreferredSize(size);
        setMinimumSize(size);
        setMaximumSize(size);
        setSize(size);
        setLayout(null);
        g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
    }
};
mainFrame.add(panelImg);

So this is how it looks like:

The complete picture looks like this:

Is there a way to scale the picture to the JFrames size? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

First of all, I wouldn’t be loading the image inside the paintComponent method, this method is call repeatedly (and some times in quick succession), you don’t want to do anything that takes time to execute or consumes resources unnecessarily
