Resize a picture to fit a JLabel

Question

I\'m trying to make a picture fit a JLabel. I wish to reduce the picture dimensions to something more appropriate for my Swing JPanel.

I tried with setPreferredSiz

Answer 1

public static void main(String s[]) 
  {

    BufferedImage image = null;
    try 
    {
        image = ImageIO.read(new File("your image path"));

    } catch (Exception e) 
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(fitimage(image, label.getWidth(), label.getHeight()));
    jLabel1.setIcon(imageIcon);
}


private Image fitimage(Image img , int w , int h)
{
    BufferedImage resizedimage = new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Graphics2D g2 = resizedimage.createGraphics();
    g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION, RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR);
    g2.drawImage(img, 0, 0,w,h,null);
    g2.dispose();
    return resizedimage;
}

Answer 2

Or u can do it this way. The function u put the below 6 lines will throw an IOException. And will take your JLabel as a parameter.

BufferedImage bi=new BufferedImage(label.width(),label.height(),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

Graphics2D g=bi.createGraphics();

Image img=ImageIO.read(new File("path of your image"));

g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, label.width(), label.height(), null);

g.dispose();

return bi;
