If you put "display an image as the background on a jpanel" into your favourite search engine, you will easily get a few examples of how to do that.

But you say you have already seen such things (or is that what you said?) and you don't understand them. Fair enough, that's normal for beginners. So what you have to do is work at learning the background until you do understand them. Asking for the code isn't going to help, you have probably already seen the code.

Ok thanks for replying your prob right...

i found the code as below...is this image coming from a url on the net???
i want it to come from a folder...
class BackgroundPanel extends JPanel
{
Image image;
public BackgroundPanel()
{
try
{
image = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(new java.net.URL(getClass().getResource("Test.gif"), "Test.gif"));
}
catch(Exception e){/*handled in paintComponent()*/}
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
if(image != null) g.drawImage(image, 0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight(),this);
}
}
