Loading Images from a file and using in an applicatio

[Finaltank]

In other programs you use codes to import images
Like Turing (Yes I know lol, turing )

code:

PicCopy (some paramaters, then "imagename.extension")

What would be the code in java?

I have a textbook that shows stuff in a java applet, BUT I barely know anything about java applets, I know the basics, help please?

EDIT: I was typing and the firedrill went off, so how would I get images from a file and import them into my java window?
I use jGrasp and Ready to program, so I think code can go either way. Do images only work in java applets and im doomed? Or can I load them onto the output screen?

It's much harder than that... Really, I don't know, haven't worked with images yet, but you will need to know more than the basics.

If you need help, I suggest also looking at the Java Documentation on the java.sun site and looking up something with "Picture" or "Image".

*edit* firedrill, eh? We had a firedrill today too, what school do you go to?

*edit2* Images can be used on applets, but also on normal applications (ie. through a swing frame). RTP may have some way of doing images too... I wouldn't know.

Edit 1 = Whitby

Edit 2 = How hard is swing? Can I do system.out.println on it or not?

Hmm... guess a lot of schools had it...

I suggest getting a fairly solid understanding of OOP and methods before going into Swing (which is a GUI framework for Java).

Im getting closer!

JUST I DONT KNOW WHAT AN IMAGE OBSERVER IS

c.getImage (address,height,width, ImageObserver);

WTF IS AN IMAGEOBS
