Java，GridBagLayout

Question

Hi i am trying to resize the image icon which i tried to use the getScaled method but it's not working, i have attached a copy of the code below.

public Example (){
        JLabel l = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("gui/CheckLib.png")));
        Image resize = l.getScaled(200, 180, 18);
        l.setIcon(new ImageIcon(resize));

        setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
        GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
        c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.SOUTHEAST;
        c.weightx = 1;
        c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
        add(l);

Answer 1

Some research would have shown you that JLabel does not have a method called getScaled

Some more research would have lead you to Image#getScaledInstance

Some more research might have lead you to The Perils of Image.getScaledInstance()

Which might have lead you to Java: maintaining aspect ratio of JPanel background image

Now remember, ImageIcon wraps a java.awt.Image in an Icon interface

Answer 2

You can try Darryl's Stretch Icon . It will resize the image based on the space available to the icon.
