How to include a jpg in a Graphic

[Paul muellerl]

Hey!
I have a big problem.
I started some weeks ago with swing and now I dont know how I can include a jpg in a Graphic.
Here what I allready have:

public void paint(Graphics g){
//Werkzeug1
Werkzeug w3 = new Werkzeug("Werkzeug_1", 50., 1000.);
g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
g.drawRect(20, 20, (int)w3.breite(),(int) w3.laenge());
Werkzeug w1 = new Werkzeug("Werkzeug_1", 1000., 1000.);
g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
g.drawRect(20, 20, (int)w1.breite(),(int) w1.laenge());
Werkzeug w2 = new Werkzeug("Werkzeug_1", 50., 50.);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillRect( 20 , 20 , 50 , 50 );
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JLabel imageLabel= new JLabel(new ImageIcon("D:/Program Files (x86)/eclipse/eclipse/Werkzeuge/Bilder/t3.jpg"));
frame.getContentPane().add(imageLabel);
frame.pack();
frame.show();
}

but the jpg is in another window and not in the same.
Thanks4 your help

delete it and start again - never create a JFrame inside paint()
(and paint() should not be used - override paintComponent() in Swing)

You've already created an ImageIcon. You can retrieve an Image from it. That Image can be drawn on the Graphics object.

Note however that you shouldn't load the ImageIcon each time paint or paintComponent is invoked. This could occur many times a second, and you don't want all that I/O all the time. You should create the ImageIcon in the constructor and assign it (or its Image) to an instance field, and use that instance field when painting.
