Dear All,
I want to set icon size in JLabel. The icon may be big in size say 500*500. But i want to set the image size to 32*32. There is no API in ImageIcon to set the size. I also tried to set using setPreferredSize,setMaximumSize, setMinimumSize,setSize API's in JLabel. But it didn't work for me. Can anyone tell me the procedure for it. It will be very helpful for me.
Thanks and Regards
V.S.Saravanan

Load your image file into an Image object first. Then call the getScaledInstance() method of Image to scale the image to the size you want. Then make an ImageIcon using the Image object you got back from getScaledInstance().

There are several ways to do it...

is the basic way to load an Image from it's filename in a stand alone application.

Applet's can't use the Toolkit, so they provide the getImage( URL ) method. The new 1.4 JDK also provides the ImageIO classes for reading and writing image data.
