Graphics objects and GIF files

Posted by Hiran on November 20, 2001 at 12:13 AM

Does anyone know whether it's possible to create a graphics object w/ a GIF file? For a school project I have to create the Solitaire game, and I've been given simplified code for the GUI to start off. In one of the classes (the one that handles the card components), there's a method called paintComponent. It's signature and JavaDoc is:

/** Method which overrides paint() component.  Tells the component how to actually draw itself
  * @param g The graphics object which will be painted on */
void paintComponent(Graphics g)
