setting a background color for applet

Posted: Mar 14, 2002 8:12 AM

Hi,

I am trying to set-up a JPanel with GridBagLayout, and setting a background image for that JPanel. For now I have accomplished setting up the JPanel and putting my components in it. However, I am not sure how to attach a background image to that panel, does anybody know how to do it?

thanks,
webtekie

You can draw your image then set xor mode and draw over it. The image will appear as a background.

in the JPanel's paint method:

setXORMode(Color c1)
where c1 is the XOR alternation color

public void paint(Graphics g){

g.drawImage(Image img, int x,int y,Color bgcolor, ImageObserver observer);

setXORMode(Color yournextcolor);

g.draw...... draw the rest
............
}
}
