Add image by pessing button

[ilumi kinoko]

Hello everyone,

I have several pictures,
I want to add picture whenever I press the JButton.
Like:

1. (the board is empty)

2.button pressed (show a image)

3.press another button

4. and so on...


Even I press another button the previous images are still remain.
I want to do it on JFrame and on its certain area(I mean there is a certain area only images)
Can anybody give an example or direction?
Thank you

@praneeth,

When answer questions:

1) please use the code tags

2) Use proper Java naming conventions to teach proper habits. Variable names should NOT start with an upper case letter.

[b]Rob Camick ,
Thank for your comment. Actually that's a mistake.sorry for about that.

[ilumi kinoko]

What should i do if I like to

1. Press the same button

2. The image show again at x = x +50 with the original image remain?

I can not figure it out

please help me thanks

Praneeth: Thanks for your effort, but here on JavaRanch we prefer to help people write the code themselves, instead of giving them ready-made answers. People learn a lot more when they discover how to write code themselves than when they are just handed out a complete answer. Please let people do their own homework. (And please UseCodeTags).

Ilumi: You'll need to remember where to draw the new image. What you could do is add a member variable to the class, and at each button click, you add 50 to the member variable and add an extra image at the position that the member variable indicates.

Can you try adding that to the code? Let us know how you're doing with it.

Thank you Jesper

the pressing button to show image and move problem has been solved.

Answer can see at https://coderanch.com/t/533459/GUI/java/Having-two-paint#2419882

moved to Java » Swing / AWT / SWT / JFace

And still has some other problems

like: when i use repaint(), the previous image will gone as it move.
