fit the image to the button size

[chen young]

Hi,

I want to add an image to a button

 ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("image.jpg");
button.setIcon(image);   

unfortunately the image is changing also the button size so all the screen is corrupt.

How can I fit the image to the button size ?

Thanks

One way of doing it is overriding the paintComponent and drawing the image yourself. Use the appropriate Graphics#drawImage() where you can define the image size.
You will need to set the Image size to the button dimensions, which you can obtain by getWidth() and getHeight()

Hi,

What do you mean by using “Graphics#drawImage()” ?
How can I implement drawImage on Jbutton ?

can you please add example

Thanks
