Hello, I have been wracking my brain on how to get pictures to display in an application(Game). I've read various articles including some on this site but all I find is useless fragments of code and no explanations behind them(ImageObserver?MediaTracker?etc etc)or totally depricated commands. So I am hoping someone could shed some light on displaying images in an applicaion(not applet, unless you recommend it).

code:
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon ("imagepath.gif");
JLabel label = new JLabel (image);

frame.getContentPane ().add (label);



Where frame is your window, you may choose to add the JLabel to a panel and then add the panel to the frame

This is one of many ways...
