How do I convert a Graphics object into an Image object?

[srekcus]

I'm working within an application using JFrame, and what I want to do is create an Image, draw to the image using the methods of Graphics, and then display the image as an Icon.

If this isn't possible (which I doubt) then how would I work with Graphics objects outside of applets?

Thanks!

You can create a BufferedImage (height, width & type), do a getGraphics to get the graphics context and draw into it:

BufferedImage memImg=new BufferedImage(applet.getWidth(), applet.getHeight(),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
memG=memImg.getGraphics();
memG.setColor(.......

Then, in the paintComponent(Graphics g) method of your image display JFrame (or JPanel) extension you draw the bufferedImage, just like an ordinary java.awt.Image.

Thanks sjalle It's a little rough around the edges but the image was created
