java.lang.Object
javax.swing.ImageIcon
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
,Accessible
,Icon
An implementation of the Icon interface that paints Icons
from Images. Images that are created from a URL, filename or byte array
are preloaded using MediaTracker to monitor the loaded state
of the image.
For further information and examples of using image icons, see How to Use Icons in The Java Tutorial.
Warning:
Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage
of all JavaBeans
has been added to the java.beans
package.

ImageIcon
Creates an ImageIcon from the specified file. The image will be preloaded by using MediaTracker to monitor the loading state of the image.- Parameters:
filename
- the name of the file containing the imagedescription
- a brief textual description of the image- See Also:
-
ImageIcon
Creates an ImageIcon from the specified file. The image will be preloaded by using MediaTracker to monitor the loading state of the image. The specified String can be a file name or a file path. When specifying a path, use the Internet-standard forward-slash ("/") as a separator. (The string is converted to an URL, so the forward-slash works on all systems.) For example, specify:new ImageIcon("images/myImage.gif")
The description is initialized to thefilename
string.- Parameters:
filename
- a String specifying a filename or path- See Also:
-

location
- the URL for the imagedescription
- a brief textual description of the image- See Also:
-

Creates an ImageIcon from the specified URL. The image will be preloaded by using MediaTracker to monitor the loaded state of the image. The icon's description is initialized to be a string representation of the URL.- Parameters:
location
- the URL for the image- See Also:
-
ImageIcon
Creates an ImageIcon from the image.- Parameters:
image
- the imagedescription
- a brief textual description of the image
-
ImageIcon
Creates an ImageIcon from an image object. If the image has a "comment" property that is a string, then the string is used as the description of this icon.- Parameters:
image
- the image- See Also:
-
ImageIcon
Creates an ImageIcon from an array of bytes which were read from an image file containing a supported image format, such as GIF, JPEG, or (as of 1.3) PNG. Normally this array is created by reading an image using Class.getResourceAsStream(), but the byte array may also be statically stored in a class.- Parameters:
imageData
- an array of pixels in an image format supported by the AWT Toolkit, such as GIF, JPEG, or (as of 1.3) PNGdescription
- a brief textual description of the image- See Also:

ImageIcon
public ImageIcon(byte[] imageData) Creates an ImageIcon from an array of bytes which were read from an image file containing a supported image format, such as GIF, JPEG, or (as of 1.3) PNG. Normally this array is created by reading an image using Class.getResourceAsStream(), but the byte array may also be statically stored in a class. If the resulting image has a "comment" property that is a string, then the string is used as the description of this icon.- Parameters:
imageData
- an array of pixels in an image format supported by the AWT Toolkit, such as GIF, JPEG, or (as of 1.3) PNG- See Also:
-
ImageIcon
public ImageIcon()Creates an uninitialized image icon.

Method Details
-
loadImage
Loads the image, returning only when the image is loaded.- Parameters:
image
- the image
-
getImageLoadStatus
public int getImageLoadStatus()Returns the status of the image loading operation.- Returns:
- the loading status as defined by java.awt.MediaTracker
- See Also:
-
getImage
Returns this icon'sImage
.- Returns:
- the
Image
object for thisImageIcon
-
setImage
Sets the image displayed by this icon.- Parameters:
image
- the image
-
getDescription
Gets the description of the image. This is meant to be a brief textual description of the object. For example, it might be presented to a blind user to give an indication of the purpose of the image. The description may be null.- Returns:
- a brief textual description of the image
-
setDescription
Sets the description of the image. This is meant to be a brief textual description of the object. For example, it might be presented to a blind user to give an indication of the purpose of the image.- Parameters:
description
- a brief textual description of the image
-
paintIcon
Paints the icon. The top-left corner of the icon is drawn at the point (x
,y
) in the coordinate space of the graphics contextg
. If this icon has no image observer, this method uses thec
component as the observer. -
getIconWidth
public int getIconWidth()Gets the width of the icon.- Specified by:
getIconWidth
in interfaceIcon
- Returns:
- the width in pixels of this icon
-
getIconHeight
public int getIconHeight()Gets the height of the icon.- Specified by:
getIconHeight
in interfaceIcon
- Returns:
- the height in pixels of this icon
-
setImageObserver
Sets the image observer for the image. Set this property if the ImageIcon contains an animated GIF, so the observer is notified to update its display. For example:icon = new ImageIcon(...) button.setIcon(icon); icon.setImageObserver(button);
- Parameters:
observer
- the image observer
-
getImageObserver
Returns the image observer for the image.- Returns:
- the image observer, which may be null
-
toString
Returns a string representation of this image. -
getAccessibleContext
@BeanProperty(expert=true, description="The AccessibleContext associated with this ImageIcon.") public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this ImageIcon. For image icons, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleImageIcon. A new AccessibleImageIcon instance is created if necessary.- Specified by:
getAccessibleContext
in interfaceAccessible
- Returns:
- an AccessibleImageIcon that serves as the AccessibleContext of this ImageIcon
- Since:
- 1.3
